I've actually done the reverse with a few good friends, by saving a bottle
from a lesser wine, and then putting a, IMHO, much better wine into the empty,
clean bottle. It's fun to hear the responses. I always divulge my trickery,
especially if the wine is the hit I hope it to be, so my "friends" don't go
out and put in several cases of the dummy wine by mistake.
