NO GENTLEMAN will grumble at the absence of wine at his host's table. It is good form for a host to serve or _not_ serve wine, as he chooses; it is very bad form for his guest to comment on his choice. When any one who is conscientiously opposed to wine-drinking, is present at a dinner where wine is served, he declines it by simply laying his hand on the rim of his glass as the butler approaches. No words are necessary.
