[[Severus Snape]] ordered his "assistant" [[Peter Pettigrew]] to bring a bottle so he (Snape) could serve it to sisters [[Bellatrix Lestrange]] and [[Narcissa Malfoy]] when they visited his home at [[Spinner's End]] in [[1996]]. The bottle had probably been laying about for a while, as it was covered in dust. When poured out, the color is revealed to be blood-red. Later that year, [[Rubeus Hagrid]] and [[Horace Slughorn]] drank some wine as a way of respecting [[Aragog]]'s death.
