After more than a decade of not touching alcohol, Gu Qili had long forgotten its taste, barely remembering the sweet flavor from her childhood sip that turned spicy later, and then... the memory blurred.
First-timers tasting red wine may find it a bit unsettling initially, the heavy body swirling around the mouth, with a texture that's somewhat coarse and forceful, as heavy as stout, yet upon careful appreciation, that tangy note hits just right, like a volcanic eruption, ferocious at the onset and then bursting with dazzling colors.
Thinking of the descriptions she had learned about red wine, Gu Qili could roughly guess what kind of wine it was, quite consistent with what the label said.
Gu Qili didn't dare to drink more, wiping her mouth before returning to her room.
