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.
