The do-it-yourself “Wine during the duration” post

What better way to idle away the hours than with a do-it-yourself “wine during the duration” post?

The blog’s annual do-it-yourself posts are some of its most popular: the do-it-yourself wine New Year’s resolutions and wine review. They allow us to skewer wine’s pomposity and, if I’ve done a good job, offer a few giggles. So why not a do-it-yourself  “wine during the duration” post?

So take a look at these suggestions for spending your time with wine during the duration. Use the drop-down menus, click the answer, and choose your favorite line. And keep in mind that some people think drinking wine during the duration, including a certain Boston doctor, will kill us sooner rather than later.

Those of you who get the blog via email may have to go to the website — click here to do so. As always, thanks to Al Yellon, since I stole the do-it-yourself idea from him.

The first thing I did after I had to stay at home was to:
panic, since I had barely a case of wine in the house.breath a sigh of relief, since I had almost a case of wine in the househide the wine from my neighbors, since they would steal it.look for hard seltzer on-line.

My duration buying patterns have changed:
Not at all: Trust in the WC, because he knows best.A little: I try to buy some 90 point wines, since the world is so upside down.A lot: I’m not drinking the WC’s supermarket crap when the world is ending.What wine? I’m drinking hard seltzer now.

My duration drinking patterns have changed:
Not at all: Just wine with dinner, because the Boston doctor wants to ban booze.A little: An extra glass or two with dinner, since the Boston doctor wants to ban booze.A lot: Nuts to the Boston doctor. The world is ending.What does the Boston doctor think about hard seltzer?

The biggest wine problem I’ve had during the duration has been:
trying to keep wine stains off my mask.finding wine shops that will deliver three times a day, since I’m not the Boston doctor.hiding my wine from my neighbors, who don’t believe in the six foot thing.What wine? I’m drinking hard seltzer.

All in all, I’d say wine during the duration:
gave me a chance to try wine I wouldn’t normally drink.didn’t change a thing — 92 points or bust, and nuts to the WC.allowed me to spend hundreds of dollars on delivery charges.What wine? I’m drinking hard seltzer.
