The glass in his hand stirred with vigor and enthusiasm, stirred again and again, and yet another, the glass to his nose, then to his mouth. The pleasure of these gestures is denounced by a look of happiness, almost childlike, a huge smile, which after another bit of wine, makes him raise his eyes to the ceiling in a reflex of concentration.

This, which Daniel refers to, is a white Burgundy wine from a renowned producer and untouchable reputation.
