Why Water and Wine?

In 2007 at a leather market in Florence, Karol was deciding whether to buy: 1) a nicer but pricier cowhide belt, or 2) a less-durable but cheaper buffalo leather belt.  She knew from the very beginning that she wanted the cowhide, but didn’t want to pay the worth.  She tried to haggle, and asked the vendor if she can get the cowhide for the price of the buffalo.  The vendor simply replied “You can’t have wine for the price of water.  If you want wine, pay for wine.”  Karol left the market with a cowhide belt on her hands, and never forgot the lesson.
 
Of course, in real life, we can’t choose cowhide over buffalo all the time.  We can’t afford wine all the time (we wish though).  Instead, we drink water (but don’t complain)… and on times we get to have wine, we enjoy.  This blog is all about our fair mix of water and wine, the cheap and the chic.
