She never liked red, anyhow. Gave her heartburn and not the crisp, flutter of intoxicating white. Her likeable friend who got her giddy without side effects. Thank goodness she had a friend waiting for her with it's chilled coat on. So there they sat across the table - white versus red. His next move now scuppered.

His glass of red went over him, in a beauty of a splat as well, and the white followed seconds after. Well, they do say that white wine helps to rid a red wine stain, don't they...? It did the trick. Nicely. And the troublesome blot cleared off his Mercedes Benz.

Profile's had to meet her distinct approval. She stopped on Doug. Seemed a nice fellow and he had the perfect likings. A red wine lover most of all. Click!
