A four-panel comic in a wine shop. Panel 1: A woman tells a man, "And this Pinot Noir pairs well with fish or chicken," and he flatly replies, "No, it doesn't." Panel 2: The man explains, "I've read science. You can tell good wine from bad is merely a social convention." Panel 3: The woman asks, "So you're here because..." and the man finishes her thought: "Which wine goes best with the smug satisfaction of knowing that even experts can't tell fine wine from cheap?" Panel 4: The woman cheerfully recommends, "We recommend this Chardonnay and cherry Kool-Aid blend," and the man exclaims, "Magnifique!" Votey: A close-up profile of a person sipping from a glass, eyes closed in appreciation, saying, "Mmm. Notes of Red 40" (Red 40 being a synthetic food dye used in Kool-Aid).
