Default AFW haiku contest

Following the occasional success of the AFW limerick contest, I thought
I'd try and launch a haiku version. If you can't drink a bottle and then write
one of these you're no Hemingway. Usual 5-7-5, winner is by popular acclaim and
gets to claim his or her prize of a cold pizza and bottle of 2 buck chuck (or
local equivalent) paid for out of their own sad (and no doubt rapidly emptying
if they spend time on such trivia) pocket.

My very humble entry:

Carmine glass beckons
In swift autumn grapes ripen
Drink up? No, it's corked.

If you can't beat that you can't write your way out of a paper bag. Or
a ham sandwich. Or whatever.

Any takers?
