A Nice Chianti

Wine stockists around Bristol are being drained of their reserves of fine Lambrini and Blue Nun as the sommelier for this evening’s men’s squad dinner has been trying to accumulate enough bottles to satisfy the thirst of the attending oarsmen.

The manager of Threshers was said to be shocked when asked if he could supply 46 cases of his most quaffable plonk: “I’d just imported half a truck load of this lovely Rouge Des Valu to sell to the students but now it’s all gone, now I’ll have to try and sell them Babycham instead…”.

Branches of Boots are bracing themselves for the inevitable rush for Alka Seltza and paracetemol tomorrow morning.
