The first professor "reception" (and here I go seriously dating myself) I went to, the Prof had one of those nifty double-dispenser contraptions made out of glass and wrought iron, with (bad) "sherry" and (even worse) "port" in the two containers. Back then, that was considered by many in academia to be the absolute height of sophistication.

The bad reflection of age-old traditions at Cambridge and Oxford. Based on my limited exposure to those two hallowed institutions, I can assure all and sundry that the real thing is far, far more appealing. Dinner at high table can be quite the experience with the right connections (my uncle was cellarmaster for Clare College for a good few decades late last century).
