HyperWine
noun / ritual / coping strategy
The unholy but effective union of wine and hard liquor—typically vodka or other neutral spirits—designed to enhance a glass of wine with a stealthy kick. The result is a hyper-drived beverage that salvages bad wine, stretches a bottle across more pours, and delivers a swift, multidimensional buzz for the discerning cheapskate.
Caution:
Must be prepared in secrecy, lest you be mistaken for a party saboteur.
Unlikely to be understood by your sommelier friends (but let’s be real, they weren’t invited).
May raise ethical questions if performed at weddings or baby showers.

"I HyperWined my glass when no one was looking—suddenly the cheap Merlot stopped tasting like regret and I could actually tolerate small talk about cryptocurrency despite it being all a scam."

People in recovery from drugs/alcohol that make a huge show about their committment to AA and "The Big Book" that you will meet in rehab centers. They speak grandiosly while throwing around words like 'humble' preformatively. They're often the first ones to drop out of rehab first because they're actually judgmental egoists who don't actually change their behavior or ways but they portray themselves as role-models and constantly spout things like "Meeting makers make it!" and other recovery/AA cliches.
