You are right...it is a case of buying it so that you can swank about it.
And isn’t that a sad thing...that it will not be opened to celebrate a birth, an engagement, a coming of age, a recovery from ill health, something that is a landmark event and deserves a toast.
It will languish in a dark cellar, when the liquid sunshine should be liberated to give pleasure.
The grapes would die in shame.
