I was at a coffee shop tonight getting some work done. They can sell liquor in coffee shops in Wisconsin, or at least this coffee shop can. It was wine tasting night, but I stuck to the coffees. While I was waiting for my coffee, I noticed a case of Prosecco with a sign on it that went on about its merits: "Slight apple flavor, oak finish," blah blah blah. And then it ends with, "Very nice in the glass."
...What is THAT supposed to mean? I would hope it would be nice in the glass, since that's where one traditionally pours wine. Why would you specify that a wine is "very nice in the glass?"
"This wine is very nice in the glass, but for the love of little green apples, don't drink it out of a mug. It really sucks in a mug. Now it burns when I pee."
I'm missing something. Maybe that's their subtle hint that you're not supposed to swill Prosecco directly from the bottle.
