Can do.... Here are examples of a local white wine and my favorite Chianti from Italy:

As with the beers, you have to know the local varieties since the offering varies by regions.
Reds? Two of those look like VERY clear whites. Clear as glass!

The second one will be used for spare parts and the motor will end up in a go cart:

Visited a museum that showed items from a fortified settlement that was discovered in 1973 and is only
5 km from where I grew up. It was inhabited from 4000 BC to 700 BC and had it's heyday in the late bronze age from 800 to 880 BC:
