St Ives 3 - with wine

personally I like it. It just goes to show that it's not just drinking and driving that should be banned. drinking and drawing isn't good either.

Frame it now, before you spill the gin and tonic over it. If you're serious about the technical question - well - the usual way to remove red wine is to swab it with white wine; won't work too well if you leave it too long, and the reverse isn't true: you can't clean up white wine with red wine.

Yes it's lovely and unique. never seen one like it
