No Better Way to Serve Blood Wine
It was the day before the Khitomer peace-talks, 2293. Captain James T. Kirk offered Klingon Chancellor Gorkon and his retinue Romulan Ale. Sure, it was illegal, but there are certain advantages to being Captain James T. Kirk. The conversation ranged from William Shakespeare to the finer points of Earth’s own history, and even touched on topics of semantics and table manners.
Those initial talks were a disaster, which was less attributed to the inebriative effects of the bright blue Romulan beverage, but more to the shape of the corkscrew used. Little known fact – the corkscrew used was roughly the same shape as the ancient-Klingon pictogram for the words “turtlehead,” considered a grave slur in tlinghan Hol.
There were words exchanged, a Chancellor murdered in cold blood, and photon torpedoes flew like Rigelian fire-hawks. It wasn’t pretty. If only they had a corkscrew like this one! This chromed-out bad boy is shaped like a Klingon Bird-of-Prey firing a disruptor. Not only would this not offend the Klingons, they would have seen it as a nod to superior Klingon starship design.
So, avoid future interstellar incidents by opening your own corked beverages of choice, be it French Bordeaux, English cask-conditioned ales, or even Klingon War Nog or Blood Wine should you have any!
