People Are Loving This Story About 2 Strangers Sharing a Bottle of Wine Together on the Subway

The most important rule about living in NYC: prepare yourself to see anything go down on the subway. Sometimes you see the usual showtime break-dancing routine on your commute to work, but then there are days where a perfectly good bottle of wine will roll out from under your seat and the only logical thing to do next is to drink and share it with someone. That's exactly what happened to two strangers on the subway, according to a tweet and photo from Twitter user and journalist Colleen Hagerty.

The tweet, posted on Feb. 25, shows two strangers sharing a bottle of wine. It clearly struck a nerve with the internet, since it has more than 56,000 retweets and 191,000 "likes." You can see it for yourself ahead.

People didn't know whether to believe the story, considering opening a wine bottle requires a corkscrew. Hagerty then clarified in a followup tweet that the "top was popped." She also tweeted that the man in the hat found his empty bottle to drink from under his seat as well.

@colleenhagerty And the man on the left actually found that empty bottle also under the seat to drink it from I SWEAR.

One person came up with a great idea to bring even more New Yorkers together.

@colleenhagerty What an awesome idea. Hide wine throughout the subway system and see the friendships and connections that form

Just another reason to love wine and all the joy it brings.
