This magical drinking vessel appears to be
nothing more than a rather well-made figure, usually of nickel-silver,
with some fair amount of engraving and bas-relief sculptures depicting
grapes, vines, wine cellars, drinking, etc.

Somewhere on the vessel
will be a line of magical writing - the words of a toast. The first
individual to pick up the flagon will be able to read what is written, but
no other can do so, normally or magically, until they become the
owner of the vessel. The toast phrase is read to activate the flagon -
and each time it is activated, the phrase changes. Recitation of the
magical toasting words causes the flagon to fill with good-tasting, but
rather weak, wine. Each time thereafter that the flagon is drained, it
refills itself with better-tasting liquid. The weak wine initially therein is
of about 7% alcohol content: The next liquid is about 10% alcohol,
the third draught of wine is 13%, the fourth is port-like and about
20%, the fifth is a near-liquor of some 40% alcoholic content, and the
sixth and last draught is brandy-like liquid of nearly 80% alcohol. The
typical flagon contains about 1 pint of liquid (16 ounces). It is 90% unlikely
that any creature partaking of the first draught will notice the increase
in alcohol of the second, third, and so on. Thus, unsuspecting
drinkers are quickly and easily made intoxicated and possibly
brought to stupor from the contents of the flagon. The container is usable
a maximum of three times per day.
