Let me go out of town for a moment. Adelaide. If having a restaurant called The Snooty Fox isn’t bad enough, conditions may apply to your free corkage! Fucking Outrage! If a man gives me his bond that his corkage is free, I don’t want to have to bring in a commercial lawyer to have the $3 charge waived? Good day Adelaide. Good day Old Adelaide Inn, Good day Snooty Fox. I SAID GOOD DAY! Jesus, Snooty Fox? Really? Sounds a bit like it would be full of arseholes. Arseholes suddenly enraged at having the corkage they fully and sincerely believed was free, snatched away due to some jiggery pokery with the fine print. Maybe people only went because of the free corkage…”Dear, what’s that restaurant that has a name like only a cunt would go there..? Umm, The Wanky Dog..? The Bleached Ringhole..? The New Age Pussy..? The Uppity Garden Bed..? You know, the one where we never have to pay for corkage..?”
“Under what conditions is corkage charged madam? On the condition of shut the fuck up.” Well I guess that’s fair. By Meccano.

Free Corkage the main band, supported by Conditions Apply?
LikeLike
Just one band. They originally formed as Free Corkage and the Applicable Conditions but the record company made them change it to ‘The Corks’ because they felt it was more commercial.
Anyway, there were issues with drugs and arguments about the direction the band was heading in; and the record company eventually dropped them and they broke up.
Then a couple of years ago they reformed with the original line up, sans the base player who died of an overdose, under the name Free Corkage. Conditions Apply.

Right. Wasn’t Conditions Apply the album?
LikeLike
A lot of people make that mistake. It was actually a self titled album with just a blank, turquoise cover but, as a marketing gimmick, the album came with a free cork. Of course, for the sake of practicality, the free cork was conditional on you sending your proof of purchase and a small fee to cover postage to the band and they would mail out your free cork.
They got in some trouble with the ACCC and were forced to add a sticker ‘Conditions Apply” to the record, confusing a lot of people into thinking the album was titled Conditions Apply.

I originally wrote the piece as more barrel-centric, but figured a commenter would make that connection. It’s wonderful that SA is mainly known for its barrels.

Maybe it’s free if it’s a screw top and there’s only a charge if there’s an actual cork?

Nothing about conditions on the wine list.
