Particularly bad wine mars local wine competition

VANCOUVER, BC, October 6, 2007. A neighbourhood's celebration of wine and friendship was nearly ruined when one guest brought a wine so foul tasting it interfered with the proper tasting of the other wines. "I don't know who brought wine number two," said co-host Rob. "But I noticed Daz was particularly complimentary about it all night, and this one score of 8.5 out of ten seems to be in his handwriting."
"I quite like number two," said Daz nervously, before gulping down a large wedge of brie cheese. But word soon spread among the amateur wine tasters to avoid the infamous number two, and it ended up receiving the lowest overall score since the inception of wine tasting competition in 1957.
"After taking out the best and worst scores, we averaged all the wine scores, and number two ended up with a 2.7," said Rob showing off his sophisticated Excel tracking spreadsheet.
The winning wine was Rolf Binder-Hales' Barossa Valley Shiraz from Australia, brought by Cathy, which scored an average 8.6.
