In Vino Veritas
The Vic is currently handing out free wine to the players. One female staff member is walking around with two bottles of wine while another followed behind with a tray of empty glasses. Several players have taken her up on the offer for free wine.
As photographer Neil Stoddard mentioned, "Hopefully the wine will speed up the action."
Inebriated players tend to get a tad rowdy at the tables, but they'll loosen up and induce action.
And yes, my Latin teacher from my Jesuit high school back in New York City will be happy that I used a Latin phrase as a title post.
