Portmanteau of "Charles Shaw," cheap, respectable wine available by the case from Trader Joe's. A way of life for struggling writers, artists, and other poorly-paid individuals with some self-respect.
Also referred to as "two buck chuck," "ChaShaw," or simply "chuck."
In anticipation of a stressful month ahead, Ogilvy took the opportunity to acquire a case of Chaw Shiraz for a cheap, but effective, soporific.
