Job Satisfaction

Pruning vines isn't the most enjoyable job in the world so I've been trying to think of ways to make it more bearable and I have decided that if I knew exactly what I was pruning I would find my job more fulfilling and meaningful.
The vinyard I work for sell their grapes to a company in Griffith who turn them into [yellow tail] which apparently they do sell in the UK but I wouldn't have noticed if it didn't have the words "Special Offer" or "Buy 3 For A Tenner" written on the price tag.
So in a noble attempt to keep the Australian economy afloat I tracked down a bottle of [yellow tail]
Shiraz
which I purchased for the princely sum of $10.95.
Less than a fiver.
The only way this wine could be any more Me is if it came in a box or was in fact Lambrini if Lambrini was to be made from grapes which of course it isn't. I'm not too sure what it is made out of. Alcoholic's Piss, I think.
Anyway, I drank the bottle over the weekend and returned to work on Monday hoping to feel somehow more enlightened but by then we'd started pruning the merlot and the bottle of
Shiraz
that I had painstakingly consumed seemed somehow wasted. Once again I felt empty and unfulfilled.
There's only one thing for it; extensive experimentation is in order.
If you need me I'll be at the bottle shop.

I live life on the edge.
Provided I'm harnessed to a safety rope and there's a team of trained professionals on hand to make sure I don't fall off.
