1. Whew, that's doing it the hard way
I guess it gets its "aged in oak" while it's being pressed.

2. I can see old monks in hooded brown cloaks... old drunk monks.
This is wonderful, trusty elf. You do keep bringing us the old countries' contributions, and each time it's a winner.
Now, about Beaune, I thought that was in Germany!

3. I would truly like to try out
this press . . . just to see if it still can produce! Just saying! ;-)

Nice shot, and just wondering where you came across such a wonderful work of art!

4. It is a beautiful machine, isn't it?
This press and other wine making stuff is housed in a barn-like structure next to the Ducal Palace in Beaune. The palace, which has been turned into a wine museum, is in the old town, near the Basilica, in the Rue du Paradis. :-)

5. ...
You travel too much. Mixing up Beaune and Bonn, and now you take Paradise Drive out of Las Vegas.
Wine Museum - Casino. Old wine press - early slot machine. You can't fool me!

Up to now I trusted you, trusty elf!

6. Busted!
I was trying to keep my gambling and drinking habits a secret, but I see you're on to me. :D
