I think what designeddtodie said is spot on - I came in here looking to see if I'd heard the lyric right, about dépanneur red wine (having just returned from a summer vacation in Québec, where dépanneurs are literally everywhere and they all sell alcohol of varying quality, I wasn't sure if I heard right!) and I love the interpretation of the nouveau-riche martini vs. the cheap convenience store wine (that comes in a box, probably... .) It totally fits with the theme of the song, about selling-out vs. staying true to one's roots. Leave it to Metric to use corner store wine as a metaphor for authenticity... gawd I love these guys!!!
