 [[Smithers]] does lackey tasks with [[Mr. Burns]], including duck hunting, where Burns shoots a shot but throws down pre-killed ones, evicts the [[Springfield Children's Hospital]], and transforms it into a chandelier storage, restocks organs, takes out the trash with a plane, and melts [[Iceland]]. To celebrate the completed to-do list, they take a swing at a bottle of 1945 {{W|Bordeaux wine|Bordeaux}}.
-At the plant, everyone runs off after [[Lenny]] catches Smithers coming to the restroom to take someone for extra work, but [[Homer]] is late to cook his {{W|Taquito|taquito}}. He takes him to the port where a safe arrives with a special [[Gevrey-Chambertin Wine|Gevrey-Chambertin]] inside, once owned by [[Napoleon Bonaparte]], bought by Mr. Burns. He needs Homer to ride with it as a human airbag. Smithers gets called on the phone by Burns and needs to leave him alone, so Homer can bring it to [[Burns' manor|Mr. Burns' mansion]].

-When he gets distracted to check the best route, however, the bottle gets snatched by [[Mrs. Vanderbilt]] to christen The Upper Decker. She fails to break it, since it hits Homer instead, and the bottle rolls on the ground, continuing to roll during a marriage, then to a swingers party, where they use it for the {{W|Spin the bottle}} game. Homer recovers it but trips on a rock, and it almost gets shot by [[Dubya Spuckler|Dubya]] and the other [[Spuckler family|Spuckler kids]] at [[Cletus's farm]]. Homer gets shot in the back instead.

-Arriving at home, he hides the bottle in a safe. At dinner, Homer eats [[Marge]]'s good soup but asks what ingredients she used to make it so good, and she informs him she used a bottle of wine she found, Mr. Burns'. Homer finds out that his [[Homer (bowling ball)|bowling ball]] was really placed in the safe to cover a hole he made when the {{W|Major League Baseball}} added the pitch clock. Smithers arrives, and they confess what happened, but Homer proposes to do what he always does, [[Cover It Up|covering it up]].

 Since Mr. Burns will pour the wine to some of the most wine connoisseurs in the world, [[Lisa]] remembers it's just chemistry, and thus they just need to find someone who knows the chemistry of alcohol. After failing with [[Moe]], they go to [[Professor Frink]], who creates a replica of it, and at the meeting, it actually works. At home, Marge proposes Smithers become a wine-forging [[Robin Hood]] by selling fake wine to the rich to give to the poor.
