In summer in the north Atlantic, where the phrase seems to have originated, this would have been at about 11am.

I genuinely don't like wine. It is the best thing and the worst thing in the world. Best thing because I don't have that temptation of just a glass or two that pretty much everyone I know seems to have, and the worst because I usually end up having to drink water at restaurants.
