Searching for the rare winocorn

More wine humor that’s actually funny

Long ago, before the tech wiseguys appropriated the term “unicorn,” it was a ’70s hippie thing that meant almost the complete opposite (see pre-Raphalite and “The Lady of Shalott“). Which Sweet Charity Smith on YouTube apparently knows. How else to explain her hunt for a winocorn?

So why all the literary and poetic allusions? Because the hunt for a winocorn reminds me of the time before premiumization and consolidation, and when quality $10 wine was not a unicorn in and of itself.

Besides, it’s funny.
