Prompts = Scrape, Vanilla, Worker
In the bowels of a French winery, a winemaker paced. The old oak casks were nearing the end of their useful lives. Stainless steel vessels were on the way, but how could they produce anything of quality?
A young worker, sweeping up, saw the anguish and wondered if he could help. ‘Monsieur, what if we put the old casks inside the new ones?’
‘If only we could. But mais non.’
‘Can we scrape the oak insides and put shavings into the steel casks?’
‘Sacrebleu!’

Worker and Winemaker clinked glasses of award-winning vintage (with hints of vanilla, fruit, and oak).
