After Frank Bruni (halfway) agreed with Christopher Hitchens' distaste for servers refilling wine glasses without asking, the debate continues with an actual wine server taking offense: "I doubt a guest at my restaurant has ever accused me, even in the deepest recesses of their secret thoughts, of barbarism. I believe it is my job to refill your glass when it is nearing empty ... when I'm in the diner's seat, it's a shame to have to pour my own wine. When I go out to eat, I want to be served, not be left to serve myself." [SE, previously]
