You know this is the thirteenth bottle, don’t you?
So what?
The thirteenth bottle is the last wine. It’s the culmination of a whole eschatology of wine. It’s the wine all the others have been leading up to. That will make all of them make sense.
We’ve been ascending a wine ladder, don’t you see?
Or descending it. We’ve been going down, down, down a spiral staircase.
There’s been a method – of sorts.
A method in our drinking?
Thirteen bottles is the end of the course of anti-poison.
Do you think?
It’s a cure. A cure in doses.
The thirteenth bottle turns lies into truth.
Is that right?
It’s the messianic wine.
