It will languish in a dark cellar, when the liquid sunshine should be liberated to give pleasure.
The grapes would die in shame.

just the same with many in the classic car movement. open the garage door on a nice weekend day to wash and show off their toy. then they,ll go to a show with it on the back of a trailer, drive it off, back on and trailer it home. do not get me started as well on the snobbish attitude of jaguar and MG owners that look down on us lesser mortals with more massed produced vehicles.
