Vessel linework

[Jorge_Stolfi]

The straw wrapping is there to prevent the glass bottles in a crate from knocking together and breaking.

One of the advantages of being an Authority is that you don't need to learn the truth, you just know it.  Like "women have fewer teeth and ribs than men".  Obviously. No need to ask Mrs. Aristotle to open her mouth and count.

And then I am the one hallucinating...

Then why don't all wine bottles have straw wrapping?

Wouldn't it be easier to just stuff straw between the bottles in the crate, than weave those baskets around them? 

All the best, --stolfi
