0:52.4	So we will be going shopping tomorrow and we
0:55.1	figured why not share some of the stuff that we are going to get to fill the 12

1:06.4	shop at if you buy 12 bottles in a mixed case you can have 10% discount and we're all about the discount and plus maybe we drink a lot of wine around here so buying a case is a very very practical thing for us and despite the fact that it's a cash outlay at the get-go it
