|
 |
So a guy that I met on the hackathon is throwing his birthday party today and invited my wife and me. But I have absolutely no clue on what to buy? Help plox. Got 1 hour to go and get something  (he is married and has 2 kids)
He is a bit more on the intellectual side of things so I'm not sure if the usual Jägermeister would work with him

You could always just get a bottle of red wine. A Bordeaux is always nice. (St. Emilion f.e.)
Or a single malt if he is into that stuff. I can recommend a few good ones if you have a price.
What are you going to invest?

Like I said. A Bordeaux is always nice, so you cant go wrong with that and if you take my advice on the St. Emilion, you'll get a really nice bottle for around 20€ depending on the store.
If you have a specialized store around just go there and ask. They will be glad to help.
Of course you could get something different. Like a book or a few ticktes for the cinema.

Regarding the st emilion. Just looked up and they are starting from 7 to 90 euro. A 15 euro one should be ok? Anything specific I need to look out for?
(There are 2007 ones for 15 and one 2011 for 90 euro:?)

imo, that should be ok. (It also depends on the store. If they are pros, they will know.)
2009 was a good year iirc. Dont know about 2007 but that should still be good.

any marktkauf near you? most of their stores have a excellent wine selection (even with either a computer there to guide you jon snow or a person), and you dont have to pay 30 euros per bottle to get a good one. in this case marktkauf still kinda is expensive, so it would end up 15-19 euros per bottle
