A sign of the times

So I use this port wine for cooking in various recipes.  We got another bottle from the liquor store only to see that it is now reduced in size (1 L vs 750 ml)  although the price is the same.  Also the smaller bottle is no longer glass, but plastic.

It is a sign of the times.

Yup. I've been noticing that sort of thing in lots of things we buy these days. Ice cream for 1. So many things are reduced in quantity with the regular price... well... sort of regular.

I hope its quality hasn't changed! The same goes for products here, they're getting more and more expensive! But let's not let that spoil our good mood for the New Year!! May the new year be full of Peace, Love, Joy and Creativity!!

It's the same with us regarding prices and sizes. I think it's awful to sell wine in plastic like that.

Everything is so much more expensive, so I am not surprised.

I am seeing a lot of those signs of the times, and more to come unfortunately.
