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."
