Re "vintage wines"

On a visit to the Farmers Wine Factory in Malta ( Marsovin was the posh plonk) - the chap greeted my party order with a big smile and said "Ah signor, you are very lucky man, these are fresh wine - feel the bottle - is still warm" !

As for doit or doigt - reminds me of a tale told by one of our "coastal" brethren, Shacks at Ballykelly

Our Coastal Hero strikes gold and takes local Fair Maid for a late evening drive in his car. Pulls into a leafy glade and , as matters start to get steamy, and CH pops a button or two on FM's blouse:

FM: "you must be an officer then"
CH: "yes, but how can you tell"
FM: "Ah you've started at the top, the NCOs always start at the bottom"
