Since no one else has mentioned it, I'll just point out that your brother is
not entirely wrong to cool the wine, especially if you're in a hot climate. By
way of example Guide Hachette suggests a service temperature of ~ 42 F
for "liquoreux" (dessert wines generally).

I like them a bit chilled too, so I might do like your brother.

All this said I am unlikely to ever buy a Far Niente product...
