2) celebrate opening of fridge
3) celebrate launch of dinghy (may require case, owing to repetition)
4) consoling self when PBO don't pay article fee

Bottle of decent malt, for use when swapping tall tales with fellow skippers.

Gentlemen, these are non perishable items.

Can't we find something for David to keep in the fridge?

The champagne was to celebrate Kate's launch for our first season together. The more observant will notice two bottles of beer and a bottle of Gordon's gin. Underneath the cheese lurked a dozen mixer cans of tonic. Sliced lemon was in the little blue tub.

The Single Malt NEVER goes in the fridge.
The best thing about the fridge is bacon for breakfast and no more UHT milk.
