Looks lonely.

The glass is about to fall over the edge, thus loosing the contents. What a waste!

What's wrong is that there is a huge hippopotamus head about to emerge from the water and it's eye seems to be on the vino...

Hah! Correct answers, all.....but not quite what I was going for in my too-foggy quiz.
My error, as I was vague in the photo and question.
Red wine on the rocks.
The glass of red wine in shown .. 'on the rocks'... and I meant to convey that it is not customary to serve cool or chilled red wine.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has often wondered why?
Breaking from tradition?...but not really, in summer months, reds are served slightly chilled in lots of countries.
Anybody else like a refreshing chilled red wine on a warm day? It goes great with a light lunch. Regardless of the season, red wines are often drunk
too warm and white wines are usually drunk too cold.
Admittedly, the idea of plunging a bottle of red wine into an ice bucket, or tossing it into the refrigerator, is counterintuitive and may even strike
some people as vaguely sacrilegious
I'm a pleasure-seeking Baja afficianado who likes a small squeeze of lime in beer and a cool red with my burger. A little practical knowledge in the
pursuit of pleasure is no bad thing.
So here is some research into this all-important subject.
Serve cool:
Okay, Gallo Family....send me 2 cases as my advertising fee?

Must agree on the digestion thingy from red wine... it really works for me with meals.. just one or two glasses, that's all..
Thought it was showing 'YOU' were just on your lonesome "some place" ... which was a bit unusual IMHO

I was trying to think deep like you and was gonna say "it's only half full" but of course I overTHUNK it...lol

i always like my reds what i call "castle temp" meaning in the old days the rooms of your average "castle" [or hovel] were maybe 62 degrees. So any
wine stored on shelves before the days of refers, AC and central heat would attain the adjacent ambient temp and remain so.
i find 62 to be a great temp for any red. In fact instead of 55 or 57 as recommended by the mfgr [KoolSpace] of the device that cools and conditions
my cellar, i have the set point at 62 - saving me a little electricity as well since it is a 4 amp pull.
i keep the whites in the same racks so when one beckons i just give it a 20 min ice bath in a cradle and bingo - 45 or so, great for a chard or
savignon blanc.
