To Kir, or Kir Royale?

I am a glass of Merlot. And what they never tell you about us is that we go on dates, too. The suspense begins in the bottle. We never know which molecule of us will be chosen to go on the date, Poured out in a hurried storm that resembles an avalanche of jewels, or a rope of silk untwisting before your eyes.

It’s no secret that most of us like to enjoy a few drinks during the week, as a way to unwind.
