It can still be an annoyance if it's a wine he knows he won't like.
Then he will be put through the paces of drinking it and expressing
his appreciation to you for it.

In this case, I'm bringing wine which has a point and frankly I don't care
if he likes it. He made my last Thanksgiving miserable, being critical all
day long. So I'm taking this wine in a lovely wooden box with brass
fittings. And the wine is a French Chardonnay called FAT *******.

If he misses the inference, too bad. ROFL

Now you're making sense. I'm glad you've developed a complex semiotics of
gift-giving.
