Drink Me

Important message found under the foil wrap on a bottle of wine... My mind, perhaps predictably, jumped immediately to Alice in Wonderland:


"There seemed to be no use in waiting by the little door, so she went back to the table, half hoping she might find another key on it, or at any rate a book of rules for shutting people up like telescopes: this time she found a little bottle on it, (`which certainly was not here before,' said Alice,) and round the neck of the bottle was a paper label, with the words `DRINK ME' beautifully printed on it in large letters. ...
... this bottle was not marked `poison,' so Alice ventured to taste it, and finding it very nice, (it had, in fact, a sort of mixed flavour of cherry-tart, custard, pine-apple, roast turkey, toffee, and hot buttered toast,) she very soon finished it off.
"

And, in fact, this particular wine was also very nice. And my wife and I had very soon (or soon enough) finished it off.
Great story!

I thought of Alice too, as soon as I saw this. Glad you enjoyed the wine.
