Enjoy
I am confused.#14: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Nov 1, 2021 [SPOILER]
If you drop glasses and a bottle, wouldn't they break?
That doesn't seem nice at all.
Either that, or a drop sounds a little stingy for a wine portion.
Marz is one of my very favorite artists here, but I don't get this title.
I think it's the wine that drops into the glasses. :)#15: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Nov 2, 2021 [SPOILER]
In case you're serious about never hearing the phrase "a drop of wine", it is a classic case of understatement.
Understatement is very common in British English due to their politeness (not wanting to "make a fuss"). It also has become a hallmark of British humour.
It is also not uncommon in America, though, with phrases like "not bad" and "a drop of wine" meaning "excellent!" and "fill 'er up!"
