My wife doesn't drink at all. Never liked the stuff. A few years ago I ruptured an achilles tendon and couldn't drive. I didn't want to send her to the liquor store because I knew she didn't really know how much booze costs (in New York-yipes)...so I was drinking everything we had left over from parties, and stuff other people had brought and left behind. Some of it was horrid. A lot of it was horrid.
Eventually I had to ask her to pick up a "handle" of Dewars. I had to send her a picture on the phone so she'd know what it looked like.
I heard the front door open..."Holy $hyte!!! Fifty-five bucks for this! I gotta start spending some money!!" I knew I was screwed.
At least you realized your mistake...

I learned to NEVER ask my wife for a gift from a music store...

If she saw the current prices on guitars (even though I didn't pay those prices), I'm a dead man and there will be a big garage sale...

Oh, and after I bought her a starter golf club set, she suggested I buy a second set of clubs to keep in TV, rather than schlep my clubs back and forth... I didn't have the guts to tell her my Driver cost more than her entire set...
