A local bloke has outed himself as a tightass this afternoon by treating his friends to a cheap bottle of wine that’s capable of stripping the paint off a submarine.
Invited to a garden party to celebrate the 35th birthday of his long-time friend Tamika Lee-Harrison, local sales rep Callam Andrews (33) is believed to have rocked up holding a bottle of Gossips Semillon Chardonnay, a tropical dry white wine that tastes like pure vinegar.
Having been told that the party would be catered but to bring some grog for the communal table, The Advocate understands Callam decided against buying his friend a present and instead just put his budget towards the $4.50 bottle of chardy, which he bought from the drive-thru bottlo next to Betoota Lakes Super Rooster chicken shop.
After sharing a few cheek kisses on arrival and dropping the bottle onto the table, Callam’s decision to slip to the bathroom was ill fated, as his friends got busy googling the abomination he’d donated to the occasion.
“What’s this Gossips thing, has Cal just gone and pulled this from the discount trolley?” exclaimed party guest Clare Van-Henry, who herself had the manners to spend $20 on a recognisable bottle of Oyster Bay Merlot.
“Yeah never seen this one before,” added mate Zane, pulling out his phone and giving the bottle a scan.
After doing some quick research and realising their mate had spent less money on wine than what most of his friends had forked out for a birthday card, Cal’s mates sat in disbelief as to why they even bother keeping him around.
“He’s done it again, God this wine is so cheap you can buy a case of it for $20!” exclaimed Zane, relaying the news to his friends.”
“God he’s a tight ass, I wouldn’t water my garden with this!”
