He knows that most of his regulars will walk away with a bottle or three of something new to try, and if some new people come in for a tasting, they may be converted, or they may decide they hate the stuff - but at least they will have learnt something.

Try asking at your local Bottle-O, if they have someone who knows his stuff. (Hint: Don't open the conversation by asking "What goes well with Pepsi Max?" )
I was unaware of World Whisky Day - now I just have to wait till the 16th May next year.

Surely I can't be the only person on the planet who savours Cola and whisky? People have been ordering it in pubs since I was a lad - they must have liked it.

Perhaps there are many such closet cola drinkers - too ashamed to come out into the light of day.
