I am 100% aware that selling homemade wine is ILLEGAL! I've had people offer money, but I don't take it just give it freely, in hopes that they will return the empty.
So anyway, my sister's fiancee just got out of jail on Tuesday. It wasn't anything violent, some back child support and a case of someone who wouldn't shut their mouth to the judge when he should have.
He stopped by on Wednesday and I gave him a bottle of my Skittles wine as a "welcome home" gift. I figured he'd been incarcerates, the man may want a drink and I know he loves Skittles.
So tonight, we were both at libraraoke (library-karaoke) and I asked him if he'd tried it, he glanced over at my sister, he shook his head no and tried to change the subject. So I said something like, "Well, when you do, lemme know what you think. Oh yeah and bring back the empty please."
Then he told me that he had sold it for gas money. I totally understand that it's going to be a week til he gets a paycheck from his job but WTF dude? My sister, who is pregnant and therefore doesn't indulge, gave him look that I wouldn't have wanted to be on the receiving end of and informed him that he had to bring back the empties because those get expensive. Props to her for sticking up for me.
My feelings were VERY hurt for a while, so about an hour later, I asked him out of curiosity how much he sold it for. He said $6 and they really liked it, and that he would try to get the bottle back (like I really cared.)
So should I feel offended or hurt that he just sold it, or should I feel honored that they liked it (even though it was recently bottled.)
Could I possibly get into trouble that he sold it?
I just have no idea how to feel.
