Whisky 101: New Barrels or Old
Americans, of course, are renowned for their love of new things, so the fact that their law demands that bourbon must always be matured in new barrels should come as no surprise. Nor will it surprise those familiar with the Scottish reputation of being, shall we say, careful with money, that Scotch whisky barrels are always second-hand.
Where to Buy: Those looking for wine and liquor need to find a Fine Wine and Good Spirits outlet, called a “state store” by locals because the state government runs them. More than half a dozen operate in Center City (some are closed on Sundays). For beer, distributors sell cases, though most locations aren’t easily accessible from Center City. Bottle shops offer six-packs, and many, including the two locations of The Foodery, encourage customers to try different styles by opting for the mix-a-six. Select bars also sell a small selection of to-go six-packs. Fine Wine and Good Spirits, finewineandgoodspirits.com; The Foodery, 10th & Pine Streets, (215) 928-1111; fooderybeer.com; The Foodery Rittenhouse, 1710 Sansom Street, (215) 567-1500, fooderyrittenhouse.com

One of the great things about wine on a date is that one bottle is a defined amount, normally about five glasses. If shared equally it is unlikely that you will fall off your chair drunk after half a bottle of wine! However, there are some other social sins that can be committed whilst choosing wine on a date.
