Today, while perusing a new grocery store ad, I noticed that wines that
used to be sold in 1.75 liter bottles are now in 1.5 liter bottles.
Thinking about wine got me thinking about wine spritzers, and it
occurred to me that they could be made with a very dry wine, and
sweetened with simple syrup made with allulose for a keto friendly
beverage. Four ounces 13.5% sauv blanc + 1 ounce keto simple syrup + 7 ounces sparkling water = a 12 ounce beverage that is 4.5% alcohol, which
is about the ABV of light beer, with less than half the digestible carbs.

Wine had always been 1.5, a magnum.
Liquor comes in 1.75, a handle.

Sounds like an ingredient in a 'concoction' as you are wont to say.
I had to look it up; it is banned in Canada for safety reasons.

I was looking at brandies on the LCBO site and was surprised to see shrinkflation in 200 500 and 700 ml bottles.
The worst is Remy Martin Louis XIII $4,295.05 for a 700 ml.

You don't drink the kind of wine that's sold in big bottles, or you
wouldn't have posted that.

you'll get more for a bottle with a fancy name
invoking royalty other than bucketload (in other
words marketing...).

Most are three liters. Some are decent wine too. I've bought Bota Box
and Black Box with good results. Keeps for a decent amount of time too.
It is not as good as a $45 bottle but my taste buds don't appreciate
very expensive wines. I stop at about $15
I used to have a box in the fridge at work and a couple of days a week
we'd have a glass with lunch.

This cyder (note spelling) was made by a family that came from the
Channel Islands in 1728. They planted
traditional Normandy apple varieties. When I was a teen, I used to
go there with a friend and buy cyder for 1s8d per quart.
The son of the family started to develop and expand the business
when he retired from the Royal Navy (a Lt. on the Royal Yacht).
It has been really successful and their various cyders are widely
available in the UK. They recently sold the company to Molson Coors.

We were surprised when we first came here there was only apple juice
(which tasted foul) and all the orchards in the valley didn't make
cider (NA spelling lol) It has totally changed now - many competing
brands.

That spelling is not universal. However, I suspect you're indicating
this:
Cyder is made from a single pressing of vintage fruit, rather like
“extra virgin” olive oil. Cider, the drink almost given to agricultural labourers well into living memory, was made from the cyder pulp being re-pressed at the rate of 10 gallons of water to 1 cwt of pulp. http://www.minchews.co.uk/cyder.htm

Why is it that the Canadians here are such boring persons?
The only exception is when Dave Smith posts about Big Niece. I miss the
Big Niece stories. They are the only thing of value about ossifer Dave.

Around here some are 3L and some are 4L. They are a pretty good deal for >mediocre everyday wines. I have had some that were crappy but I did find
a couple good whites. It's handy to be able to pour yourself a glass of
wine and leave the rest without having to worry about it turning.
