I know the Italian navy has wine on board. Doing training operations with them, and I was a liaison between my unit and them, apparently because I had taken French in high school (Yes I know). I was on board, and they asked if I was thirsty. It was quite hot out that night, so I told them I would appreciate a drink. Since the USN is dry, I assumed it would be water. Didn't realize the glass was full of red wine until it had hit the back of my throat. To be polite, I finished the glass.
