Got a beautiful tomahawk steak for tea tonight, been working on 13 hour potatoes all day and asked my fiancé to pick up a “nice bottle of red” to go with it. Shall I call the wedding off?

It’s oblong, it’s plastic and has notes of disappoint.
A thing of boxed wine would’ve been better so you could at least drink away the disappointment.
Is that bottle flat?
At least you know you can hit him over the head with it and it won’t break?
Hardy’s. Uuurrrgghh. Throw away the ring and run for your life. Or send him out for another bottle of Malbec
Alright I’ll ask seeing as nobody else has. What are 13 hour potatoes?
Maybe he thought you meant for cooking with /s
Send him back out and give him one more chance, but just one
Maybe he enjoys it and it is what he would consider nice
All that needs is a squeezy bottle top for that Spanish wine pitcher experience. No glasses to wash up, neither.
I too cry about the shape of bottles.
Yes you should since he picked up a Hardys Nottage Hill in a plastic bottle. Definitely no sense or skill.
Give him boiled potatoes and chewy flank steak to go with his wine. If he complains, explain the importance of matching wine to food appropriately.
I was staring at the bottle like “why does this look fucked up” for the longest time before reading that the bottle is, in fact, actually that shape.
Way to make a shit wine taste shitter, put it in a bottle shaped like cough mixture!?
Need a nice St Émilion for all that effort.
That’s a very aesthetically pleasing bottle, or as you call it, “nice”. I see no fault in him, keep him for now.
Think he should, you lazy ungrateful person.
I used to drink this as it would fit into my hiking bag and I could take 2 bottles easily while having no chance of breaking and taking up less room.
I rated the wine a 6/10 it’s a bit sharp and ascorbic. But by half the bottle it tastes good! 🙂
Hardy’s is one of the cheapest wines on the shelf, and it’s also delicious. Fight me
I genuinely love this wine. Where did he get it from?
Is that a triangular bottle of wine? It looks like the builder’s pencil of wine!?
Chin up. It could have been Three Mills.
The real question is, why don’t you have nice wine in the house already?
It’s not like it’s going to spoil anytime soon
I think this is a teachable moment. This is a scenario that calls for a “Waitrose recommends” fine wine and if your fiance can see that, and goes gets one, marriage saved.
Looks like a slightly posh md 20/20
is this what they mean by opposites attract?
That’s so sad. Don’t call it off, just need to communicate more. Much more. And get her to follow Tom Gilbey on instagram
Your issue mate: “a nice red” is an opinion. You need to take control of this perilous situation….
Is your fiancé really a hobo that lives under a tarpaulin at the park?
Listen, it could have been Mateus Rose or Black Tower, so be glad 😂
Hardy’s used to be ok, but he could have got you a nice St Emilion or similar.
Yeah he could have gone to the slightly posher part of the wine aisle !
Can’t lie I’d be immediately sold by that unusual shape
Plastic bottle? Christ.
Well… at least it doesn’t count as attempted murder if you crack him around the head with it.
Pillow time !
Corr it’s brutal your roasting your partner but it’s equally an awful wine choice. I think they nullify eachother. Tomahawk sounds amazing, is there any other option… Mentioning you need to pop out and grab a fleurie or a saint million?
Plastic bottle wine? Big yikes
I just hope this guy has a big willy otherwise damn have you picked a duffer.
Could have at least pushed the boat out and picked up a bottle of Jam Shed.
Or offer to teach them what you think is a nice bottle of wine.

It’s a nice bottle, shame about what’s inside it.
