Very simple. The food was brought in quite late. Besides, it was dished out by the caterer before the eyes of forty or fifty people or more and there was no telling which plate would go to Werner's place. The drinks were poured last of all.

Just think, a dried stain of the wine, no matter how tiny, might have served me in a chemical analysis.
