MAN IS PUTTING SHOPPING AWAY IN CUPBOARD, TAKES OUT JAR FROM SHOPPING BAG AND HOLDS IT UP.
MAN
Oh, and I thought we could try this. A little something to liven up mealtimes.
WIFE:
Oh, Harry, you know we're trying to cut down on luxuries at the moment. We just can't afford them. I could just as easily make my own.
MAN:
It's OK, it was reduced
CLOSE UP OF LABEL: REDUCED RED WINE SAUCE.
EXT. HOUSE: SOUND OF GLASS SMASHING.
Not too bad Rob0.

Think it's just my execution.
The idea is the man thinks he's got a bargain as it's reduced (as with the little "reduced" price labels supermarkets put on stuff they need to sell).
The misunderstanding being it's actually a reduced sauce (as in it's been boiled down to thicken). Just a premise for a gag that popped into my head from some TV cooking at lunchtime.
Basically a pun gag.
