A possibly interesting anecdote:  last night I was enjoying my MR with a baguette, apple (granny smith), and cheese.  At one point I mistakenly grabbed a pressure vessel that had not yet been carbonated (or whatever your vapors of choice).  Horrible flat stuff, it was all I could do to choke it down.

 

The glass, that is.  The rest of the vessel soon enough became MR.

 

 

  Ok so what exactly is the point here? To make crappy wine somehow drinkable? And to get the drinker drunk? I know carbonation enhances people's reaction to alcohol. Why not just buy a good, drinkable wine? Isn't this on par with adding bubbles to coffee to get the caffeine high faster? Crappy wine is crappy wine. Is this a budget issue?
