Exhausted mum outraged after supermarket substitutes her wine with a low alcohol version
AN EXHAUSTED mum is outraged after her supermarket swapped her bottle of wine for a low alcohol version, saying it’s ‘tipped her over the edge’.
With families grappling with working from home and homeschooling the kids, one thing tired mums can look forward to is a nice glass of wine in the evening.
Which is why one mum was furious to find her supermarket had swapped her treat for a low alcohol version instead, which she reckons just isn’t going to cut it.
She vented her fury on , claiming she’s gotten used to a glass or two in the evenings to unwind.
She wrote: “So in the process of trying to move. It's taken us 2 years to get to this point and the past couple of weeks have been a nightmare!
“Lots of stopping and starting. Lots of "we can exchange....no we can't" Just generally a stressful mess.
“That, on top of everything else - home schooling a very hormonal DD [darling daughter], DP [dear partner] WFH and getting under each others feet driving each other insane, has lead to a much needed glass or two of wine, most evenings.
“Anyway, shopping is delivered and I think my day is looking up, as the driver proudly announces only one substitute! Instead of the usual 20 something.
"It's one Sauvignon for another. No problem.
“Or so I thought. Now this has tipped me over the edge! Absolutely unacceptable.”
She uploaded a snap of wine bottle, highlighting the part where it says the Sauvignon Blanc had a ‘lower alcohol’ content.
Use it as a vodka mixer

Fellow mums are outraged on her behalf, and reckoned it was time to crack out the vodka.
One person said: “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I'm sorry OP... do you have a corner shop you're able to run to? Or vodka to top it up with (I have no idea how vile that might be).”
Someone else wrote: “I'd be annoyed too. Lower alcohol in wine is not on.”
A third commented: “Use it as a vodka mixer.”
This person suggested: “Apparently, alcohol hits the bloodstream faster if you've been exercising.
"Maybe you can run round the block first, and then drink it? You're welcome.”
