Nice twist, something that you might have done before but aren't sure. I was thinking (a slow event)

Removed the entire capsule rather than just cut away the top?

Quite often I pull of the whole capsule.

Not related to the capsule.

One could do this same thing to un-fortified wine, but, as with the Port, if I have done it before, it has been very rare.

No. Not involving the used glasses.

Use previously, multiple times.

The done thing is, rightly, frowned upon. By me, amongst others.

Now it really is good night.

So the done thing isn't the done thing. As it were.

I was watching the second part of the BBC NI interview with Ian Paisley. Lovely to see them all stabbing one another in the back.

You had white port and poured some water into it. Like you might do with white wine in summer.

It could be argued that the problem was that something was mixed with the Port, but that might mislead.

Not water; not lemon.

No. Well, some went in the bolognaise, but that also happens often enough.

The origin of the thing was, I suppose, laziness.
