My dinner party pet peeve is hosts (or overly enthusiastic guests) who miss the point of bracketing the wines of the courses with an aperitif and a digestif, and instead bring out one bottle of red wine after the other until late into the night. It's in bad taste and a recipe for getting guests wasted, sick, or both.
