In the informative video, Shelley brought humor to the many apprehensions people had and have about drinking and serving wine. She poked humor at the serving red wine with ice, at the serving certain wines with certain foods, at the drinking of wine with one's favorite foods, at how wine should be opened and stored. But, as the video concluded, Bernard Erpicum appeared and stated that it ultimately came to one's preference. If viewers wanted to throw out all the "rules" regarding the drinking and the serving of wine, they should just go ahead and do that. He said that it is the enjoyment of consuming wine in the way one prefers that is more important.
