@Raymott, thanks. That is quite funny!!

It reminds me of a cartoon about wine tasting. The person in the cartoon says he likes the wine and asks which one it is. It is actually from the spittoon where people swirl the wine in their mouth and then spit it out! I forgot if there is a special word for that.
