In our house it's always the line about the merlot that we quote.

Years ago used to be our wine of choice. Now we tend to go for Malbecs.

I have to add: we are still seriously uncritical wine drinkers. Roz Chast is us: https://condenaststore.com/featured/wine-tasting-tour-roz-chast.html

We do have merlot from time to time, but it's always paired with the quote.
