At a cheese and wine party recently, my companion commented on the delicate aroma of strawberries wafting from his glass of wine. Someone nearby guffawed at the non-existent joke, and made an infantile comment that wine should surely smell of grapes.

He should have received a poke with a pointed wooden stick for making such a fatuous remark, but at the time I didn’t have one with me. Wine never smells of grapes. Well, not often anyway. Even my dogs know that. And yes, they’re very well thank you, since you asked.
