I'm bottling some various batches, wine, beer, mead, graff, in some 375ml and 187ml gift bottles for the holidays. The two LHBS's near me are charging anywhere from $1.39 to $2 each for 187's and splits. Tonight I was in a local Wally World which has a pretty large Hispanic population nearby, so they have a larger than normal selection of Latino foods. They had a bunch of non-alcoholic sangria-flavor soda in really nice looking 11-1/2 oz bottles with pry-off caps. They are dark green and look like small wine bottles. Of course I can't find the price anywhere so I wander around the store until I find a laser scanner, and come to find out they are 62 cents each! I'm thinking for that price I can either drink it, give it to the kids, or just pour it out!
And while I'm off searching for a price, the nice Latino family who was behind me in the aisle made off with all but five of the bottles! Oh, well, I'm sure they will enjoy it--but I made sure I got the rest of them!
Soon as I get a chance I'll post a photo and get the brand name of the soda. My son tried one and said it was good--of course I could just pour them all into a carboy and pitch some yeast and see what happens....
