Damn straight. I only buy liquor by the quart, dammit, a perfect measure 
if ever there was one. In 1980, I could name at least five wines that 
cost less than $2.00 per quart. Yes, quart, as in four cups, the only 
measure God intended us to use, or he would have made a liter weigh two 
pounds, but he didn't.

Go ahead, give it a try. Name five wines that sold for less than $2.00 
per quart in 1980.
