Best-Selling Wines: What Makes Them Stand Out?

Singapore's wine market is a vibrant and diverse landscape, offering some of the finest wines from around the world. Here’s a look at the best-selling wines in Singapore, what makes them stand out, and how you can enjoy them by purchasing in bulk or online.

1. Quality and Consistency

One of the primary reasons certain wines become best-sellers in Singapore is their exceptional quality and consistency. Winemakers who maintain high standards in production, ensuring every bottle delivers the same great taste, earn the trust and loyalty of consumers.

2. Reputation and Heritage

Wines from renowned regions like Bordeaux, Tuscany, and Napa Valley enjoy a stellar reputation. The rich heritage and history of these regions often contribute to the appeal and allure of their wines. This historical prestige assures consumers they are investing in a time-honored product.

3. Versatility

Versatile wines that pair well with a variety of cuisines are particularly popular in Singapore. Given the city-state's diverse culinary scene, wines that can complement different flavors and dishes—from local hawker fare to fine dining—are in high demand. Wines like Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, known for their adaptability, are often best-sellers.

4. Innovative Marketing and Branding

Effective marketing strategies and strong branding also play significant roles. Winemakers who invest in creative and engaging marketing campaigns can attract a broad audience. This includes leveraging social media, organizing wine-tasting events, and collaborating with local influencers and chefs.

5. Sustainability

Sustainability is becoming an important factor for wine consumers in Singapore. Wines that are produced using environmentally friendly practices, organic methods, or fair-trade principles resonate with eco-conscious buyers. This commitment to sustainability not only helps the environment but also enhances the wine's appeal.

6. Accessibility

Availability and ease of purchase greatly influence a wine's popularity. The ability to buy wine online, in bulk, or at competitive prices makes a significant difference. Retailers who offer seamless online shopping experiences, prompt delivery services, and bulk purchasing options often see higher sales volumes.

Cost-Effectiveness: Purchasing in larger quantities often comes with discounts, making it more economical.

Books on the shelf...

Took me months but I've finally been able to draw my eye to the books in the background of this shot and not Aziraphale in the foreground 😂 and I've found a couple of interesting details, especially for anyone looking at things in the story that involve boxes, containers, and turning things upside-down/right-side-up...

Visible on the shelf beside/behind Aziraphale:

The World Atlas of Wine, 3rd edition, by Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. First published in 1971. This edition was published in 1993. It's the green book with the gold lettering that gets half-covered by Aziraphale's hair as he wiggles.

The Origins of The Second World War by A.J.P. Taylor. Originally printed in 1961 but the edition on the shelf is from the 2008 re-edition. That re-edition came in a red slipcover box that is missing. The book is right beside The World Atlas of Wine. It is shelved upside-down on the shelf. Making things weirder?

Visible on the shelf directly in front of Crowley is...

...another copy of the same re-edition of The Origins of The Second World War. It's right behind where his sunglasses are in the shot. This one is also missing the red slipcover box... but is shelved right-side-up.

These books fit with things in Crowley and Aziraphale's story and history and these editions are likely placed in this shot where they could be visible intentionally. Not just because Good Omens is wonderfully detail-oriented but because of the fact that they're both now worth too much individually to be included in used books sold in bulk for set decoration.

Obviously, Aziraphale's copies aren't really for sale 😉 but, in our real world, the 3rd edition of The World Atlas of Wine that Aziraphale has would go for around $100 and those copies of that re-edition of The Origins of The Second World War, even without their boxes, are each worth about $45. Some of the books in the background where we cannot read the titles on their spines probably were just sold to fill the space with books but the ones where titles are visible to us in the shot appear to be chosen a bit more intentionally. These two books, in particular, though, both match the story really well and are too valuable to be sold in bulk so they are probably meant for us to notice.

I hadn't seen these mentioned yet and just thought that'd be interesting for anyone into Aziraphale's books or looking at stuff like things backwards or upside down in story mirrors, boxes/containers and turning them over, and things like that. 📖

Watching the H5N1 stuff get worse and worse--I'm hoping we have until late next year before it goes reliably human-human, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was this winter--and not being able to do much makes me anxious, so I've been composing lists of stuff to do. I keep thinking, if this were August, 2019, and I knew covid was coming, what would I prepare? If this one goes off like the scientists think it might, it'll be much worse than covid.

Right now, I'm concentrating on food. My plan is to have enough hunker down supplies by mid-September that if things go bad in the normally-scheduled October-February flu season, we'll be okay simply not leaving the house at all. There are only two of us here now, and if things go bad there may be as many as four (as I have two separate friends I'd push hard to come stay here with us), so I need to make sure we have 4 meals x howevermany days I choose. I'm building up to six months, but I'm beginning the plan at three. While a lot of Serious Prepper lists have pretty generous caloric allowances, the MFH and I eat pretty light, and we're both smaller than the average adult human, which does give us even more squeak room here.

We started out with dry staples--bread flour, AP flour, semolina, rice, beans, pasta, lentils, powdered milk--though I have still to get powdered eggs (I'll dehydrate those myself), more dry beans (I'm going to use up a lot of what we have when I do my canning run for the winter, and so far I haven't been able to get my hands on kidney beans in any decent amounts), quinoa, and one more kind of pasta. Right now we have about 2/3 of what I'd want; we'll be holding things at this level, replacing staples as we use them, and if things look more serious we'll do another big shop and give ourselves additional stock of the AP flour, the bread flour, the rice (which we already buy in 40-50 lb bags anyway, we're Asian), the dry milk.

Then there's the perishable stuff; yesterday, the MFH and I took advantage of some very nice sales and got seventy pounds of meat for two hundred and twelve dollars. Beef brisket for stew, pork butt for sweet molasses chili, ground beef for hotter chili, pork loin for white bean soup. Still have to get chicken (which was pretty much sold out at our bulk place) for chicken soup (to be pressure canned), chicken and mushroom cream soup (to be vacuum-packed and frozen).

Very very soon it'll be time to harvest my leeks and my butternut squashes, for leek and potato soup (either finished with cream, blended to a smooth-ish consistency and frozen, or *not* blended down, and just socked away in pressure-canned Ball jars without the cream added; will it take me longer to thaw it, or to take my immersion blender to the hot individual meals later on?) and canned butternut for baking with or making soup or chili or making pasta sauce.

I might can a bunch of just potatoes, too, to keep 'em shelf stable (plus that front-loads a lot of the work of producing a meal later).

So I need to buy onions and carrots and potatoes and celery and garlic and mushrooms and corn, cream, red wine, tomato paste (because my vines got blight this year, sigh--I've managed to can one single run of tomato sauce and that's IT), ten dozen fresh eggs to dehydrate and powder and store in the fridge in case of egg shortages, several pounds of beans to be thrown into the chilis and...hm...fifteen pounds more, twenty pounds more, to have on hand? And then for non-canning purposes we'll need butter, oil, white vinegar (I've used a lot of it for pickles this year), various Asian food staples like black and rice vinegars, oyster sauce, black mushrooms and so on. As for pre-made, mass-produced foods, I'll probably make another post about them later.

While this is more than I'd generally stock in a single season, I do generally put about 100 quarts of home-canned food by a year, and I never keep less than 75-100lb of flour on hand anyway because of how frequently I make bread. So though it sounds like a lot up front, it's not hoarder level; everything I stock will be eaten, some of it pretty much immediately (the beef stew is so good). And putting it all by now means that we'll be less of a burden on our community safety net, if push comes to shove. When the covid pandemic hit I had dozens of jars of food on the shelf already, which gave me a little peace when things were looking scary. We were able to share some of our stores with people who hadn't had the great privilege of long afternoons spent seeing to the personal stores. That's a better option, to my mind, than needing to panic-shop right as things start getting a little wild.

Basically, if things go bad, we'll have food for a while. And if things don't go bad, we'll have food for a while. It's win-win. And it keeps the floor under my feet when I'm feeling unsteady, to be able to sneak down into the cool, still basement and look at row on row of gently gleaming jars of food security.

Your OC's Personality (Tav/Durge edition)

Tagged by @featherwurm [also to folks following me, always feel free to tag me! If I have spoons I will try to fill out The Thing! I do love being tagged even if I forget to or can't fill out the tag game ]

Orimasu Dekarios [nee Theips]

How would you describe Tav's personality?

Ori ran away from home soon after she finished what approximated schooling for a young tiefling in her hometown. She tagged along with a ranger from Elturel who showed her the ropes and taught her how to survive on her own before they parted ways. She is chipper and bright and relentlessly sees the best in a bad situation, her friendliness more than once sparing her a nasty altercation. She has a preternatural sense of impending danger, though, possibly from growing up in an unwanted tiefling family or possibly just from being on the road on her own for so long. She will absolutely share her campfire with a stranger, though you may not want to eat what she's got in the pot.

What brings Tav joy?

Nothing makes Ori happier than city food. She adores anything someone cooked in something other than a stew pot or over the coals, often giving a little clap when a barman brings out whatever food is for sale at an inn or pub. The more processed the better, and her favorite is a thick gelatine pudding filled with fish, candied fruit, and carrots--she insists it is a specialty back home and the only thing she ever misses from there. Once she moves to Waterdeep she is thrilled to learn that the Dr Storbo and the Dr Gorbo both sell their Extra Firm Gelatine For Growing Kobold Kits at a discount for bulk orders. Gale learns to get home faster than her if only to have dinner already cooking by the time she comes through the door.

Tara is unmoved by his pleas to keep Ori from making her favorite gelatine concoctions - Ori having learned that if she gives the tuna water to Tara, there is little Tara won't look the other way on.

She actually really loves teaching people how to be in the wilds of Faerun, especially having had to teach Astarion, Gale, and Shadowheart a lot of the ropes of 'you are far from civilization' type of survival.

What does Tav strongly dislike?

Ori straight up loathes people who are even passingly rude to a tiefling, herself or anyone else. For all that her charm lets her get out of dicey social situations, her quick anger at anti-tiefling comments has put her in just as many. Other than that, she dislikes wine and beer because the few bits of magic she knows don't ever quite turn out right if she's had a little tipple.

Is Tav scared of anything? She is deeply afraid of mindflayers from a bedtime "now you STAY in bed," story that her parents would tell her as a girl. You can imagine her feelings upon waking up with a mindflayer tadpole in her head. Lae'zel did not have to ask twice about going to the creche, Ori did not hesitate even once with Nettie, Ori only did not take the deal with the hag because of all the insults Ethel threw at herself and Karlach, she immediately took Priestess Gut up on that medical appointment, and yeah it sucked to lose an eye but it was WORTH IT to try and get the bug out of her head. The adventure of BG3 for her was very much a "you have to do it. You can cuss the whole time, but you have to do it."

What is Tav alignment? Chaotic good, only on account for the fact that you cannot predict when her internal vibes meter will flick over to 'oh, so you're bad! You're evil! Time for punchy-punch'

And I'll tag @girlwarlock @meyerlansky and anyone else who is out there with the BG3 brainworms.

Benched - final chapter

‘What do you mean its been declined’

“Well, I went to my normal sales assistant and went to pick up my things, and he said the card didn’t go though, luckily I was carrying my Chase card …’

As Ajay went on explaining away his last shopping trip, a quickly forming reality was dawning on Devon - after all the fine foods, wines, luxuries, the funds were drying up. Sure by any means they won’t be going broke, but after a few calls and checks with his accountants the gluttonus lives they were living was not going to sustains it self for much longer,either they were going to have cut-back or they would quickly be in a whole new world

It had been a couple of days after his phone call with this manager, and Devon knew that him and Ajay really had no other choices of income, and Tom’s physio salary was definitely not going to be paying the bills for the townhouse . in fact after Tom moved in, Devon found that they were even spending more than before on his fine suits and expensive wines.

As he sat there in bed, ballooned in fat, he knew he was going to have to face his fears, and that started by calling up his manger

“Ah Devon, finally have you decided to make you triumph return to the team, after the season we’ve had everyone is desperate for you, Devon’

“Yh about that, Scott I am planning to, only I might be a bit bigger than you last saw me ’

“Ahh the off-season bulk - happens ti the best of us champ’

“Yh, bulk ha’ Devon couldn’t whip up the confidence to tell his old manger just how bad this bulk was over the phone

“Listen champ just come on down tomorrow, we get you sized up, I mean the whole team haven’t seen in for almost over a year now’

Today was the day, and Devon felt fatter than ever, leaving the house in the early morning in some of the only clothiers that fit him he knew as he had to catch his breaths after ever steps a walk in the park was gonna be off from this . They were all waiting for him in there, all his old teammates including Chad he imagined their faces and their ridicule and he hated that after living with Tom for the last couple of weeks he knew he was going to enjoy it all.

“I’m sorry mister, I think you have the wrong room’

Devon had walked in to the gym at the worst time, all his old teammates were shirtless running drills and workouts, and they stood Devon all 150kg of him , still holding a chocolate bar form the car

‘No coach, I don’t think I do’

“Devon…..”

The sound of weights from all over the room came crashing down as the herd of fit muscular men crowded around their hippo sized teamate

“Bloody hell’

“Is that, no way”

“Talk about an off-season”

“Coach listen, I did say I had put on a few kg”

“A few kg, is that what you call this’

Coach laughed as strolled over and slapped Devons fat gut

“I mean look a the size of you, you fat everywhere I look at you”

“What am I going to do you you fat sack of lard’

‘Hey coach, take it easier on him’ called a voice from the back

Devon dared not to look up, and he hated the fact a small part of him was loving Coach’s cruel remarks about his fat body’

But even he couldn’t believe who was strolling over to his rescue

Walking over, was a more muscular, almost taller Chad, it was obvious that after their accident the two had gone two very different pathways, Devon a spiral of gluttony and greed and Chad a rise of fame and fitness .

“What, else can I do, look at him this man was the comeback we needed Chad, I bet he couldn’t even get the kit over his massive backside, let alone make it to the field without breaking into a sweat”

“Coach, I know but shouting at him isn’t going to make it easier, anyway besides maybe even having him back is enough to turn our fate’ smirked Chad

Devon was shocked the arrogant areshole of a man that Chad had been had simply evaporated’l

‘Whatever, his contact his bullet prove, even if wanted to I couldnt get him of the team’

“We gonna be a laughing stock of the nation with this lardass’

Coach said coming and grabbing Devon exposed gut

“Hey it not like we arnt that already; chuckled Chad as he got between Coach and Devon

Coach had no words left to utter after that, he simply left in a strut leaving Devon with the rest of teammates, whom most got back to the training simply refusing to even acknowledge Devon.

Well one stayed - Chad

“Hey mate, thanks for that’

“Oh that that was nothing’

‘Nah it means a lot, and it seems like we both changed a lot these past years huh’

‘Yh I guess, not going to lie once you were of the team, and I had to step in I finally realised how much pressure it was, huh big guy’

‘Yh, I don’t even remember sleeping those days’

“You telling me, all I do is train, play and try to stay out the papers’

The pair of them, stuck together chatting about the past year as the gym quietened out, Chad hitting the machines while Devon filled him on his new life with Ajay and Tom.

“Wow you really enjoyed you time off-time huh’ smirked Chad as they made their way to showers, the rest of the team had left and it was the pair of them. Just like old times, they striped down and headed to the showers, Devon had barely even lifted a finger but he still stripped done to rinse off some sweat that came from standing about in the humid gym. Chad even helped remove his t-shirt when he struggled to get it over his fatty body.

Stepping in compleltey naked to the showers, there were never two bodies that were that different, Chads tall blond muscular body all toned up after a long work out and Devons round obese body covered in strecth marks and overgrown with hair.

‘I mean look at the size of you, talk about a transformation and a halve’

“Yh I living the good life, and I love it all’ Devon responded rubbing his gargantuan gut’

“Here let me’ Chad said as he took the soap and lathered Devon in it

It was all so sensual and hot Devon couldn’t see his cock as he turned to let Chad wash his back but he couldn’t feel it growing under his massive fat-pad. And it wasnt the only thing he felt as Chad got closer and closer to him rubbing all his back fat, the head of a fat big penis hit his fat arse. They stood in silence for a few moments until Chad broke the slience

‘Sorry about that, I can’t help myself you just so sexy’

Devon laughed, it seemed the more he blimped up men coudnt control themselves

‘Oh really, what’s so sexy about me’

“Everything, all over your just so big, I mean I used to stare at you in the showers and looking at this I couldn’t believe you could be so sexy, but now oh I can’t control myself’

Chad moved closer, his arms roamed over Devons body, taking it all in, they barely joined in the middle just the tips oh his fingers around Devons solid gut. And then he moved in, putting his face in the pillow of at that was Devon’s neck, and pushing Devon fat body to the wall and he entered Devons fat arse. They fucked for hours, long and hard it was as if Chad wanted one thing in the world and it was Devons well-fed body.

It was game day, and Devon was suprised it had all come so quickly, one the news had broken about his weight gain, the media went crazy, journalists and pappz wanted him more now than ever. The internet was filled with pieces comparing his body to its prime, everything was out it the open with his love life he was headed for being a proud gay footballer and jeered at by all sorts of sporting channels who loved to talk about his obese body for hours. He was a pneumpoan, everybody was - even Ajay’s lavish life, who had quickly become a minor celcberlity once the news broke, and now it was the first match of the season, no matter what the coach fought for he coudln’t get him removed, it was agreed though that due to Devons weight he was of course going to be no help on the field abs that all he needed to do was stand for the anthem and be Benched for the majority of the game. And so they he stood in a kit the size of tent in line with all his in fit teammates a bulging mass of fat.

The rest of the game he was sat on the sides, watching the game he even pulled put a chocolate bar as the 90min game bore on. As He looked up at the box and saw the large frame of Ajay next to a trim Tom whose hands of full of hotdogs and even appeared to be helping himself to one of two as a stuffed Ajay hesitated mouth full of ketchup and mustard. Devon chuckled to himself as he bit into the next chocolate bar that chef had packed. The game finished to a draw, which according to Chad was one of the best results they had finished in a while, Devon couldn’t believe it, had his team really fallen so far that a draw was an accomplishment. And as the rest of the team left and the changing room emptied out it was once again Chad and Devon left alone, and it seemed the sight of Devon in his humongous kit sent Chad awol, as after the final member left he couldn’t keep his hands to himself.

Coach was in trouble, it wasn’t enough that he had to put up with seeing Devon stuff his face with chocolate bars on the bench, after a lengthy call with the mangers his job seemed to be on the line, his teams poor performance over the last season was so distoruous ad campaigns seemed to back out with each loss and the team was heamorrgin money left right and centre , he had to do something quick.

After another game ended with another draw, Coach turned on the 10’ o clock sports new, most of the bloody focus was on the fat lump that used to be his star player, more focus went on what he was stuffing his face with than the game itself. After third draw of the season, Coach was hot headed, he didnt know what to do and right now he needed something sweet and the first thing that popped into his head was whatever he had seen Devon stuffing his face next to him on the bloody bench .But after 2 visits to two different supermarkets those damn chocolate bars seemed to all be out of the stock, after the third visit proved no avail he was furious

‘Oi you what’s the big deal, this is the third shop without any godamn chocolate bars where the hell are there all’

“Geez sir I’m sorry they sell out faster than hotcakes especially after matchs’

“What - the hell ”

“ If You asking me, it cus all those fatties come here straight after the game and buy us all out, its cus of the big old fat player Devon he’s like their hero or something’

What was that - everywhere he went to heard about that hippo and just when he felt another blood vessel burst in his brain an even better idea popped into his head

Devon dint know why he was being called in, Coach hadn’t even uttered a word to him all season and now he was being called in for a meeting- even Chad didn’t know what was going on

“Ah Devon, my favourite player come on in’

What was going on, but Devons attention quickly dropped when he saw the plates full of chocolates and pastries laid out on the table

“Why Devon, it seems your sweet tooth has caught the attention of some higher ups, meet the team’

They on the other side off the table were a large assortment of people some tall some with glasses all fat

“Listen bud, these guys over there will pay a hefty sum for you hands to be on they chocolate bars out there on the field - what’ya say’

Opening the envelope there concealed a number with a lot of 0s

‘OH and that’s just for one game’

This was it Devon’s money problems were solved for life and all he had to do was sit back and eat candy

Coach chuckled to himself as he saw the humongous man sign away his body with hand and grab a hand full of chocolate in the other, - looks like he had found a use fir this fatter after all

And as the season wore on that’s exactly what Devon did, it become a football phenomenon - viewship was at all time high. The fattiest of the country were glued to the screen seeing Devon pig out on various box’s of chocolates and sweets and they ran the fastest their fatty legs would carry them to the stores to pig. Coach had long forgotten about his money worries he had a golden pig out there weight his weight in advertisement - it was a plus that the team were playing the best they ever had in a long time, and leading them was Chad it was as if a big fat fire was lit under him and he wanted to do it proud. As the months draw on the team was quickly climbing the ranks faster and faster, until it was all down to for final game of the season .

There it was the last game of the season, Ajay, Tom and Devon boarded a much bigger limo to take them to the stadium than they had needed to at the beginning. . Other the past 9 months it wasn’t just the money on Devon’s wallet that grew but all three of their waistlines thanks to the replenished funds the three of them were back eating like kings, and it showed on Ajay’s much fatter gut Devon’s hippo sized arse and Toms beginning double chin. Devon had suspected that Ajay and Tom were having secret feedings sessions where Tom loved stuffing Ajays till he was too stuffed to move and was helping himself to the odd cake here and there . Seeing the pair of them across the limo Devon chuckled to himself as he saw that Tom was living the blissful lie that he had once lived as it seemed Ajay had found another young hot man’s body to ruin. Tom hadn’t noticed it but as he was stuffing food down Ajays food he didn’t notice his portions getting bigger and meals more frequent. Living with two obese men was definitely rubbing of on the poor PTs body, he hardly needed to work at the gym now that Devon’s money troubles were solved, his gym kit was growing dusty in the wardrobe just like Devon’s once did and the effects were beginning to show. A year of living with them was fattening Tom up faster than he could clock on, as he sat there next to Ajays the six pack he was proudly showed of was now rounding out into a beginners belly and his thighs were beginning to swell up. Ajays had of course taken the needed precautions of size up his wardroom secretly and reminding him of how fat he was at all times belittling Tom’s beginner gains

As the pair of them fiddled with each other in the back of the limo offering the other small treats and what nots , Devon didn’t feel any jealousy, especially after how he knew his heart was taken by another. What started of as after gym sessions soon bloomed into longs date nights with Chad, over the past 9 months Chad and rocked Devon’s world in more ways than none, filling up with food at dinner than fucking him like there was no tomorrow. And just when Devon was about to unlock some more thrilling moments the Driver honked - there had arrived

Devon’s role on the team had shunk to nothing more than a ballooned obese mascot that the camera would turn to when the audiences attention dwindled. And there was no other way he would have it, as the game wore on his assortment of snacks never ended he ate himself away watching Chad run around the field like he once used to. Except now he was a fat whale of man in kit that had long been upgraded to beat his ever growing fat gut

It was such a close game, 85 minutes had dreaded on, and there were still drawing 2:2, Devon couldn’t watch and so he ate - it’s as all down to Chad. And at the 89 minute, Devon scanned the field and saw the hunk of man that was he lover, and Chad saw back a fat blob of a man that he couldn’t keep his hands off. And just like that he kicked it in and it flew past the other teams goalie and went straight it.

And on that second after winning his first league, there was one thing Chad needed to do - and he ran straight to Devon and jumped on to the 180kg lover and gave him the biggest kiss of his life

And Devin thought to himself if this was life on the bench he would happily be Benched

The end

Expansion Phase

The devil appears as Jerm turns to leave the wine cellar. He gasps and nearly drops the bottle of Dom, but his look of surprise quickly gives way to a grin.

"I'm ready," he says, gesturing to his clothes: an oversized hoodie and matching, generously-cut joggers, all in charcoal with tasteful neon yellow piping.

The devil only looks confused. "Does it matter what you're wearing?"

"Wouldn't it?" Now Jerm is confused. Why shouldn't it matter?

"Well the house isn't going to fit anymore, nevermind your clothes."

Jerm blinks, uncomprehending. "What?"

"I suppose I thought that I'd find you outside somewhere, but this will certainly be a bit more fun."

The fabric of his clothes is already starting to pull tighter across his skin, but Jerm has not yet noticed that he has begun to grow. He is still trying to grasp what the devil could mean. "The house…?" A knot of dread settles into the pit of his stomach.

"Well, you remember the deal."

"I…" Jerm looks down at his belly, slowly swelling out like an inflating balloon, and registers his predicament. The bottle of champagne smashes to the floor.

"No," is all he can say as he staggers out, through the bright light and crisp whiteness of the kitchen. "No, no, no--"

Out in the foyer, between the two symmetrical staircases that lead up to the second floor, hangs a portrait of Jerm looking just as he did moments ago: slim in a very specific, fastidious way. Not scrawny or wiry. Just full and toned enough to suggest a breezy fitness routine, yet without any muscular bulk that might belie vulgar, meat-headed vanity.

Now, tottering beneath that portrait, Jerm is already unrecognizable. He is expanding all over, swelling outward in all directions, his flesh sitting taut instead of sagging down. The waistband of the joggers is digging into his midsection. But he continues to steadily grow.

"Why?" he gasps.

"Our deal! Today's the day!"

The seams of his clothes are pulling tight.

"I thought…" he gasps, "Only…a couple hundred…pounds…."

The stitches running down his pant legs begin to pull apart.

"A couple hundred?" The devil gapes, incredulous. "Didn't you do the math?"

With a POP the waistband of Jerm's pants snaps. He groans against the oppressive tightness of the hoodie wrapped around his chest and arms. "Just a…tiny…fraction…."

The devil conjures up a brimstone-pocked scroll and consults it. "Right here," it goes on, tapping the scroll, "one thousandth of a pound per dollar. You didn't specify 'profit,' so we settled upon total sale price. That was the deal, Jeremy. You must have known what that meant."

Jerm only moans. The hoodie finally shreds, defeated at last by his relentless growth. He has started to take on a domed shape. His feet are buried beneath the bulk that used to be his legs. His barrel-like arms lie straight out, resting atop his impossibly huge sides. His entire midsection is all of a piece, still firm and rounded like the hull of a boat.

"Make it…stop…."

"Jeremy," the devil leans in close to Jerm's great broad face, "a deal's a deal. You just sold the company for three billion dollars. You know what that means."

"Nooo," Jerm sobs. Tears collect atop his cantaloupe sized cheeks.

"Three million pounds. That's what you agreed to."

Jerm wails. His growth continues unabated. The floorboards underneath him groan as if in sympathy.

The devil pokes pensively at his chest. "This will be very interesting to see."

"You…really are…the Devil…."

"No. I am only a devil."

+++

Breaking news:

"Emergency personnel are on the scene at the home of Jeremy 'Jerm' Scallon, creator and former owner of Skdli.do. Scallon recently made headlines thanks to the high-profile sale of Skdli.do to Meta, a move that turned him into an overnight billionaire. It seems that a neighbor called 911 following some sort of disturbance at the property. It is not clear at this time whether Mr. Scallon or anyone else is at home."

+++

Jerm can hear vehicles pulling up outside but he has gotten stuck here in the foyer with his back to the front door and windows. All that he can see is his portrait up on the wall, taunting him above the burgeoning horizon of his belly. Himself as he was. When he stepped on the bathroom scale this morning, it read 175 pounds. Now….

With a soft pap the underside of his belly reaches the floor and the whole thing continues to swell. Behind him, his titanic ass cheeks are already spreading across the floorboards.

"No…more…."

"Much more," comes the devil's voice in his ear. "You've gained, what, a thousand pounds, give or take? You're going to pack on three thousand times that much before it stops. That was the deal! I did warn you." With that it disappears in a puff of sulfurous smoke.

Someone is knocking at the front door. Of course Jerm cannot turn to look. His head is completely smothered, his face pinned between cheeks the size of sofa cushions. His hands have disappeared into the burgeoning barrel-like appendages that used to be his forearms, and those will soon be swallowed up by his now mattress-sized upper arms. Overall, he has taken on the rough shape of an enormous dome. And every part of him continues to grow steadily. Bigger, and bigger, and bigger. Heavier and heavier.

"Mr. Scallon? A neighbor ca--"

The cops entering through the front door cannot parse what they have walked into. An advancing wall of flesh, nearly as tall as a man, cleft vertically. Two impossibly huge ass cheeks, surging inexorably toward them and toward the door.

"Gnnhh…." Jerm moans. His belly is now touching the wall beneath the portrait, and pressing ever harder against it as he grows.

"M-Mr. Scallon…?"

"Helllp…me…."

+++

"Some kind of scene continues to unfold at the home of Skdli.do founder Jeremy Scallon. Law enforcement have not released any details except to report that Mr. Scallon is alive. Multiple ambulances are on the scene now but no one appears to have been taken out of the home."

+++

Jerm has grown flush with the walls but his expansion continues unabated. All that he can see is his own belly forced upward against the wall in front of him. Before his eyes it swallows up the portrait of his former self. Except for an upturned face floating in a sea of flesh, all vestiges of his humanity are gone. And still he continues to grow, filling up endlessly like a monstrous water balloon.

The walls are so, so tight, and getting tighter. He moans in discomfort, and even begins to weep. Alarmed voices chirp around him; he can feel tentative hands against the skin of his impossibly huge buttocks. But no one can help him.

+++

"At this time we have secured the scene, and have taken every precaution," says an FBI spokesman during the press conference. "We cannot rule out the possibility of some kind of pathogen."

+++

Jerm has completely filled up the foyer. With no more room to grow, his obscene bulk has been swelling upward, such that the buried core of his skeleton and musculature is buoyed within it like a morsel of fruit suspended within a gigantic jelly. His flesh begins to squeeze out into other areas of the house: into the kitchen on one side, into the library on the other. Up the staircases, which groan in protest. Pressing against the front door and windows….

+++

In the news footage of the Scallon mansion, there is a sudden flurry of panic among the assembled firefighters and paramedics. The first storey windows break and…something oozes out of them. The front door bulges outward ominously. It buckles, the hinges break, and the same fleshy substance fills the frame.

+++

Jerm is utterly alone. His flesh blots out the light from the windows, and muffles the sound of sirens and screams. His immense weight has splintered the floorboards and collapsed the staircases. Still he grows and grows. He is starting to forget who he is. All he knows is that he is horribly confined, squeezed. Outgrowing the house, just as the devil had said.

+++

"Authorities believe that the object is human, or human in origin, and that it is still alive. It is not clear what has caused the extreme growth, or whether the effect may be contagious. Residents of the surrounding neighborhood have been evacuated for their safety."

In the live footage, personnel in hazmat suits mill around the perimeter of the mansion. The fleshy mass continues to swell and ooze out of the windows and doors. The figures start and flee as, all at once, the house seems to come apart at the seams. The walls burst, forced outward by a relentless tide of flesh.

+++

Unheard by anyone else, the thing that once was Jerm moans in relief as he finally bursts free of the house. Everything is too small. He needs room. Unfettered by walls, he can continue to expand unabated. He has forgotten everything: his money, his name, how his face used to look. Everything except the sensation of growth. The feeling of his own unfathomable weight.

+++

Using a crane, they are able to remove the roof--the only thing that remains of the house--from atop the mountain of flesh. With a drone-mounted camera, they confirm that there is the vestige of a human face sunken into the top of the thing.

"Authorities believe, but are unable to confirm, that what we are looking at is Jeremy Scallon himself."

The thing resembles a massive organic dome, cleft fore and aft where it apparently has monstrous ass cheeks and the hemispheres of an obscenely vast belly. It is still growing, spreading upward and outward in all directions, threatening the neighboring mansions.

"While he appears to be alive, it remains unclear when or if Mr. Scallon will stop growing. No plans have yet been announced as to how the situation will be addressed if this…mass cannot be contained."

Jerm made his infernal pact in secret: in exchange for the successful sale of his company, he would gain one thousandth of a pound per dollar of the final price. When Jerm weighed himself this morning, the scale read 175 pounds. And so the thing will only stop growing when it finally weighs just about 3,000,175 pounds.

Of course no one has any idea, they cannot possibly know, exactly how big the thing will get. It cannot speak, and will never speak again. Viewers and bystanders, Jerm's buyers and colleagues and family, can only watch helplessly as it swells bigger, and bigger, and bigger.... +++

Down in the offices of Hell, the devil sighs as it adds the last bit of data to its quarterly report. "You'd think a computer guy would have been better at math."

Not a Modder (Just like to think creatively)

THE SIMS 4 HORSE RANCH

These were ideas I had before the pack came out with just knowing we were getting horses, nectar making, and mini-goats and sheep and just thought of how much more they could've done.

Tabletop dancing -> broken arm, leg, drunken antics, ie consequences

Bulk -> sell to bars, shipping, packaging, (carton of eggs, wine, boxes of apples), (personally would like to see cat and dog food as a purchasable item, cans and bags and tupperware)

Scouts update - > fundraising, bake sales / cookie drive, and horse camp

Lasso -> toddler to elder, child+ competitions

billiards -> social activity for teen+, random outcome, betting, pool hall

motorcycles -> we have bikes, wouldn't this basically be the same animation without the moving feet.

Rodeos - > with zero pixel animal abuse - social event and competition (using mechanical bull riding) at a saloon lot type with saloon doors

glasswork, ironwork, stones -> gold or stones from river, mining, making horseshoes, glassblowing, bead-making

any indigenous gameplay?! Sage harvestable, burnable, craftable sage, weaving skill, dreamcatchers, totems, blankets, books/conversing with sim about culture - > beads, jewelry, knitting addons - > crafting table

horse plow -> attachable wheel barrow to mass harvest all

mischief and politics -> new protests, new policies, and the urban legend of cowtipping

petting zoo - > update to barn to free llama and cow, ability to lock bunnies in, employee a fox, [just adding snakes and lizards]

nectar making - > should've been in mws - winetasting, order bottle during meal, blends, nameable, snob interactions and/or moodlets about the notes, make box wine [low, get drunk quick quality],

stare down - > rude introduction

pianola - > upgradable to play on its own [even though not historically accurate] - > ability to play piano drunk

MY IDEAS AFTER THE PACK WAS RELEASED (and I've spent like two days in game, not bored just drawing out that single drop of gameplay) - this is mainly where the "not a modder" comes in as I have no idea how easy or difficult it would be to add these things.

First off, lock that dance behind a skill or something

A Wandering Cowboy Mod - a cowboy NPC shows up randomly at my doorstep, is he hurt, is he friendly, is he a burglar, is he here to start a quest???

^^^ same concept but Alien Crash landing

Horses that steers goats/cattle back.

Ability to lead horses

Horse betting / mini game (make my rich sims poor)

Obvi, wild horses

Ability to brush teeth and/or an actual horse bath

Horsegirl books, toys, interactions,

Holster gun match with chances of misfire, with either possibly dying, etc, (historic version of this too)

Gunslingers and Bounty Hunters

obvi, Unicorn things; could be cool if used to cure all sickness/alignments from other mods and/or resets their age and/or work like Father Winter.

Bank Heists

A fiddle or banjo.

Ability to craft all the furniture with woodworking table.

Falling off the horse -> consequences

Replace in-game harvestable grapes with debug grape vines

Dual riders, teach to ride for children, romantic kiss where one sim is on the horse and the other is standing below them, lift onto horse to kiss, thrown over the horse and taken, watching stars together while sitting on horses

Nothing to do with westerns but the rocking horse mod made me want a rocket ride coin machine mod

Add with more thoughts later.

The Essentials of Wine Wholesale: A Guide to Success in the Wine Business

Starting a wine wholesale business can be an exciting venture, especially as the global wine industry continues to thrive. Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur or a newcomer to the wine scene, understanding the ins and outs of wholesale distribution is essential for success. Here’s a brief guide to help you navigate the world of wine wholesale.

What is Wine Wholesale?

Wine wholesale involves purchasing large quantities of wine from wineries, vineyards, or established distributors at a lower price and reselling it to retailers, restaurants, and bars. The difference between the wholesale price (what you pay) and the retail price (what the end consumer pays) is your margin of profit. The bulk purchasing model helps businesses in the food and beverage industry stock their shelves with wine at a lower cost, while wholesalers benefit from scaling their operations.

Getting Started in Wine Wholesale

To launch a wine wholesale business, the first thing you’ll need is the proper licensing. Laws vary depending on your location, but most areas require a special distributor or wholesaler’s license to legally sell alcohol. Additionally, you’ll need to become familiar with local, state, and federal regulations on alcohol sales, including age restrictions and transport regulations.

Finding Reliable Suppliers

One of the cornerstones of a successful wine wholesale business is building strong relationships with reliable wine suppliers. Whether you decide to partner with local vineyards or large wine distributors, it’s important to choose suppliers who can offer high-quality wines consistently. When selecting suppliers, consider factors such as the variety of wines they offer, their reputation in the industry, and their pricing structures.

Having a wide selection of wines, ranging from affordable options to premium labels, will help you cater to a broad range of customers. Also, keep in mind that trends in wine consumption shift frequently. A good supplier will stay up-to-date on these trends and offer products that align with what’s popular in the market.

Managing Logistics and Distribution

Once you’ve secured your supplier, the next step is logistics. Efficient delivery systems, storage, and inventory management are crucial. Wine requires proper storage conditions, such as temperature control and humidity regulation, to ensure it remains in top condition. A warehouse space with adequate facilities is necessary, along with reliable transport for delivering wine to your clients.

Building Relationships with Clients

Success in wine wholesale also comes down to building strong relationships with your clients. Establish a reputation for reliability, quality, and competitive pricing. Offering personalized service and staying connected with your customers can help you stand out in a competitive market.

Conclusion

Wine wholesale is a promising business with substantial growth potential. By understanding the industry’s basics, building strong supplier relationships, maintaining proper logistics, and delivering excellent customer service, you’ll be on your way to building a successful wine wholesale business. Cheers to your success!

How Do Food Cartons Ensure Safe And Efficient Packaging For Your Products?

Food cartons are one of the most widely used forms of packaging for food products, offering safety, convenience, and efficiency. Whether you're shipping, storing, or displaying food, the right food cartons are essential for protecting your products and ensuring they reach consumers in optimal condition. In this blog, we’ll dive into the different types of food cartons, their protective qualities, sustainability considerations, and regulatory compliance to help you make the best choices for your food packaging needs.

Packaging Options: What Are the Different Types of Food Cartons, and How Do They Protect Food Items?

Food cartons come in a wide variety of styles, each offering distinct benefits for food packaging. Some common types include:

Folding Cartons: These cartons are commonly used for retail food products like cereals, snacks, and frozen goods. They provide excellent protection during transport and display, and they’re easy to fold and assemble for efficient packing.

Rigid Cartons: Often used for luxury or premium food items like chocolates or wines, rigid cartons are sturdy and offer a high level of protection. These cartons are often designed with custom prints for branding and consumer appeal.

Corrugated Cartons: Made from layers of cardboard, these cartons are used for shipping and bulk storage. Their durability and strength make them ideal for packing fresh produce, canned goods, and frozen foods.

Wax-Coated Cartons: For items that need to be kept dry or refrigerated, wax-coated cartons provide a moisture-resistant barrier, keeping food products safe during transport and storage.

Sustainability Considerations: How Can Food Cartons Be Eco-Friendly Without Compromising Quality or Safety?

Sustainability is becoming a key focus in food packaging, and food cartons can be made eco-friendly without compromising safety. Key ways to make food cartons more sustainable include:

Recycled Materials: Many food cartons are now made from recycled paperboard or cardboard, reducing waste and promoting a circular economy. These materials offer the same level of protection and durability as non-recycled options.

Biodegradable Options: Some food cartons are made from biodegradable materials, which decompose naturally over time, reducing the environmental impact once the packaging is disposed of.

Minimalist Packaging: Using minimal packaging reduces the overall material waste. Cartons that are optimally sized for the product help avoid excessive use of paper or cardboard, further promoting sustainability.

Sustainable Ink and Coatings: Food cartons can be printed with eco-friendly inks, and some even feature water-based coatings, which are less harmful to the environment than traditional oil-based finishes.

Size and Design: How Do You Choose the Right Food Carton Size and Design for Your Product’s Needs?

The size and design of a food carton are critical to ensuring both safety and efficiency. Here’s how to choose the right carton:

Right Fit: The carton should be sized appropriately to fit the product without too much extra space. Too much room can lead to shifting during transport, while a tight fit can damage the contents.

Branding and Aesthetics: Design your food carton to reflect your brand’s identity, incorporating colours, logos, and product details that make the product appealing to consumers. Packaging is often the first thing that catches a buyer’s eye, so a good design can drive sales.

Stackability: Choose a design that allows for easy stacking during transport and storage. Cartons that are too bulky or oddly shaped can result in inefficient use of space.

Regulatory Compliance: What Are the Key Food Packaging Regulations That Food Cartons Must Meet?

Food cartons must meet several regulatory standards to ensure that they are safe for storing and transporting food. These regulations typically include:

Food Safety Standards: Food cartons must be made from materials that are non-toxic and safe for food contact, as outlined by health authorities like the FDA or the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

Labelling Requirements: Food cartons often need to include specific labelling information, such as ingredients, nutritional facts, allergen warnings, and expiration dates, all of which must be printed clearly and accurately.

Traceability: In some regions, packaging must include barcodes or batch numbers for traceability purposes, which helps authorities track food products in case of contamination or recalls.

Conclusion

Choosing the right food cartons is essential for ensuring your products stay safe, fresh, and compliant with regulations. From selecting the right type of packaging to considering sustainability and regulatory standards, there are many factors to consider. By making informed decisions about food carton materials, size, and design, you can optimize your packaging strategy while protecting both your product and the environment.

The Comprehensive Guide to Finding the Right Wholesale Drink Supplier

In today’s competitive beverage industry, having a reliable wholesale drink supplier is essential for bars, restaurants, retailers, and events. From beer and wine to spirits and mixers, the variety of wholesale drink suppliers offers businesses access to a wide selection of beverages. Partnering with a knowledgeable supplier not only streamlines the purchasing process but also ensures you consistently meet customer demand with quality and variety. Here, we’ll dive into the different aspects of wholesale beverage supply and explore what to look for when choosing a supplier.

Benefits of Choosing Wholesale Beer Suppliers

Working with a wholesale beer supplier offers many advantages for businesses that serve beer, whether on tap or bottled. Wholesale beer suppliers typically have a broad range of options, including craft, domestic, and imported varieties. Buying in bulk from a wholesaler also allows businesses to enjoy better pricing, which directly affects profit margins. Additionally, wholesale beer suppliers often provide valuable insights into trends within the beer industry, helping establishments keep up with seasonal and regional preferences.

Another advantage is that wholesale beer suppliers often offer logistical support, ensuring reliable delivery schedules to keep inventory at optimal levels. This consistency helps prevent stockouts, a critical factor in ensuring customer satisfaction, especially for high-demand products.

Why Work with a Beer Wholesaler?

Partnering with a beer wholesaler enables businesses to access a curated selection of beers from reputable breweries. Beer wholesalers maintain relationships with various breweries and distributors, giving you access to an extensive range of options and even exclusive products. This is especially beneficial for establishments looking to stand out with unique offerings that can’t be found in every store or bar.

A beer wholesaler can also streamline the ordering process, enabling businesses to receive a variety of beer options in one delivery, thus simplifying inventory management. For businesses focused on seasonal offerings or rotating menus, beer wholesalers offer the flexibility and variety needed to keep things fresh and exciting for patrons.

The Importance of Reliable Drinks Wholesalers

Working with reputable drinks wholesalers is critical for businesses that require an assortment of beverages beyond just beer or wine. A reliable drinks wholesaler will carry a wide variety of beverages, including non-alcoholic options, soft drinks, mixers, and specialty items. This variety helps businesses meet diverse customer demands, whether catering to patrons seeking craft cocktails, fine wines, or refreshing sodas.

Drinks wholesalers often provide comprehensive customer support, including inventory recommendations based on sales trends, pricing strategies, and seasonal demand. This level of expertise can be invaluable for businesses that want to maximize profitability while maintaining a well-rounded drink selection for their customers.

Wine Wholesalers in Cork: Local Knowledge and Unique Selection

For establishments based in Ireland, wine wholesalers Cork offer a unique advantage by providing locally tailored selections and deep knowledge of the regional wine market. Cork is known for its wine culture, and local wholesalers have insights into preferences, helping businesses create wine lists that appeal to the local palate. Many of these wholesalers offer both local and international wines, allowing businesses to blend familiar favorites with exclusive imports.

Wine wholesalers in Cork also understand the logistics of sourcing wines within Ireland, often delivering fresher products with shorter lead times. For restaurants and retailers focused on Irish-made or regionally popular wines, working with a Cork-based wine wholesaler can enhance their offerings and appeal to local customers more effectively.

Finding the Right Wholesale Vodka Supplier

Vodka is a staple in most bars and restaurants, making it essential to source it from a reliable wholesale vodka supplier. A good vodka wholesaler will offer a variety of options, from well-known brands to specialty and premium vodkas. This allows businesses to meet the needs of different clientele, from budget-conscious consumers to those seeking high-end options.

Wholesale vodka suppliers can also advise on popular trends, such as flavored vodkas or small-batch artisanal vodkas, helping businesses keep up with customer preferences. With the ability to buy in bulk, establishments can secure competitive pricing on vodka, one of the most versatile and commonly ordered spirits in the industry.

The Role of a Beverage Supplier in Your Business

A reputable beverage supplier is invaluable for businesses that serve a wide array of drinks, from alcoholic beverages to soft drinks and mixers. Beverage suppliers maintain relationships with manufacturers and distributors, giving businesses access to diverse options that suit their brand and target audience. A good supplier will understand your specific needs, providing recommendations that align with seasonal trends, regional preferences, and menu themes.

Beverage suppliers also offer logistical support, ensuring timely delivery and consistent stock levels. For businesses that experience high-volume demands or seasonal fluctuations, working with a reliable beverage supplier helps streamline operations and minimizes disruptions, keeping customers satisfied with a well-stocked drink selection.

Corn: Fresh corn, cornbread mix, or canned corn for pudding

This sweet and tart side perfectly balances the savory flavors of the meal. Options include:

Canned Cranberry Sauce (for convenience)

Fresh Cranberries and Sugar (if you prefer homemade)

Keep your guests happy with light snacks before the main course. Here are a few ideas:

Cheese and crackers

Charcuterie board

Deviled eggs

Vegetable platter with dip

Stuffed mushrooms

6. Desserts: The Grand Finale

A Thanksgiving meal isn’t complete without desserts. Stock up on these classics:

Pumpkin Pie: A must-have with whipped cream

Apple Pie: Perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream

Other Options: Cheesecakes, sweet potato pie, or chocolate desserts

7. Beverages

Make sure you have plenty of drinks for your guests:

8. Tableware and Decor

Create a warm and festive atmosphere with the right decor. Don’t forget:

Tablecloths, Placemats, and Napkins

Candles and Centerpieces: Pumpkins, gourds, or floral arrangements

Serving Platters and Utensils: Make sure you have large serving spoons, gravy boats, and extra plates

Adding a Creative Twist

If you want to put a unique spin on your Thanksgiving celebration, consider adding some international flair to your menu. For example:

Maple-Glazed Turkey wrapped in bacon

Paella as a side dish for a Spanish touch
