The Cenosilicaphobic Cat

This is one of the most bizarre story of the wine world. Chester Osborn, winemaker of McLaren Vale in Australia, had a large ginger cat with blood shot eyes named Non Alcoholic Booze. In typical Australian fashion this was shortened to Booze after he was caught cleaning up a small red wine spill with his tongue.
Osborn parents were concerned about this habit of the cat and they asked Chester not to “provide” him with wine anymore. Consequently Non Alcoholic Booze started acting in a very weird way , because despite his nickname, he suffered a monumental case of Cenosilicaphobia (the fear of an empty glass).
