Portmanteau of "
Charles Shaw,"
cheap, respectable
wine available by the case from Trader Joe's. A way of life for struggling writers, artists, and other poorly-paid individuals with some self-respect.
Also referred to as "two buck chuck," "ChaShaw," or simply "chuck."
In anticipation of a stressful month ahead, Ogilvy
took the
opportunity to acquire a case of Chaw Shiraz for a
cheap, but effective, soporific.
