Summary: The Rift’s latest gift to Torchwood has Jack all excited.

A/N: Double drabble.
The Rift alert was practically on their doorstep, and what was left behind had Jack as wide-eyed as a kid at Christmas.
“This is incredible!”
Ianto had seldom seen Jack so excited about something that had nothing to do with sex. Then again, it was a bottle of sparkling liquid so perhaps it would turn out to be an aphrodisiac of some description.
“What is it, and what’s so special about it?”
“It’s Corundian Lustre Wine,” Jack enthused. “The rarest wine in the universe. Only fifty bottles were ever produced. You could buy an entire planet for less than a single bottle would set you back, and look at this crate! Four unopened bottles sequentially numbered nine through twelve!”
“It’s… sparkly.”
“It’s infused with gold, platinum, and several rarer elements not found on earth,” Jack explained.
“How delicious,” Ianto said dryly.
“Actually it’s not, the stuff’s totally undrinkable, but that’s not the point.”
“It’s not?”
“Of course not! The point is that only the absolutely wealthiest individuals can afford to own a bottle for display purposes, and we’ve got four! Trust me, Ianto; this is Torchwood’s most valuable find ever! Shame we can’t sell them for another two thousand years.”
The End
