"Waiter, what whine is being served?"

"Russian."

"Russian?"

"Russian."

"Is it a good whine?"

"It's mass produced. Totally artificial. Thin, slightly bitter, almost tasteless, lacking imagination. Predictable. Sour."

"Oh. Will I like it?"

"It depends. Are you Russian?"

"Da."

"Nyet."

"Perfect. I'll have a glass."
