[A nod to confirm, followed by a look indicative of someone who'd just heard the flat earth theory for the first time -- something like that. So he's drinking for the buzz.
He's prepared to suggest a myriad of other wines that would get the job done with finesse, but he's provided with additional instructions and is all the more reluctant to help himself. Still, there's an eventual (if not forced) smirk, appreciative of the heads up.]
Thank you.
[For sharing, for the warning. He'll take his cup with an extended pinky and bring it close to his lips -- but not without sniffing it first. Meant to be a subtle thing.
He'll have himself a sip just after, test his lips together a few times like a dog that's licked something unexpectedly unpleasant, but he doesn't look outright repulsed.
He's a practiced bullshitter. That, and this isn't the first time he's tasted such potent alcohol.]
Aren't you ambitious.
[It's easier than plainly telling him his drink sucks and he should find some way to cope with life without burning a hole through his stomach -- that's none of his business to begin with. He'll help himself to a second, longer taste.]
