The regular Taster at a Wine Merchant's died and the Director started looking for a new one to hire.
A ragged, dirty looking drunkard came in to apply for the position.
The Director of the winery wondered how he may send him away.
He decided to expose the drunk's inadequacy and offered him a glass of wine.
The drunk tried it and said, "It's a Muscat, three years old, grown on a north slope, matured in steel containers. Low grade, but acceptable.”
"That's correct", said the surprised Director.
Another glass....
The drunk said, "This is a Cabernet, eight years old, from a south-western slope, matured at 8 degrees in oak barrels. Requires three more years for the finest results."
"I am impressed," said the Director.
A third glass...
The drink said calmly, ''It is a Pinot Blanc Champagne, high grade and exclusive.''
The Director was astonished.
He winked at his secretary, secretly suggesting something.
She left the room, and came back in with a glass of urine.
The alcoholic tried it.
"It is a blonde, 26 years old and three months pregnant - and if I don't get the job, I'll name the father."
The Director said, "You're hired."
