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. It feels like 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. It’s a cure. A cure in doses.
The thirteenth bottle turns lies into truth.
Is that right?
It’s the messianic wine.
Drink the bottle, the last bottle, the thirteen bottle, and you’ll step across the threshold. You’ll actually be alive. For the first time .Your life won’t have been entirely worthless.
