Vash goes to his father's office to find out what is going on. Later, the disguised Slitheen returns to the cart and supervises a group of workmen who carry the barrels into the distillery before opening one of the barrels so he can show its contents to Vash and his father. Once the Slitheen has left, Vash returns to Andiba so he can tell her that he avoided the vinegar and that he claimed that the barrel contained the best wine that they will ever taste and that they shouldn't taste it until he returns. | Vash goes to his father's office to find out what is going on.

Once the Slitheen has left, Vash returns to Andiba so he can tell her that he avoided the vinegar and that he claimed that the barrel contained the best wine that they will ever taste and that they shouldn't taste it until he returns. | ||
Both Vash and Andiba decide to taste the wine. Vash recounts that his father thought there was something odd about the man who gave them his so-called wine. Once the workers have left the distillery for the day, Vash's father tastes the liquid in the barrels to find that it's merely [[water]]. Andiba tells him about the Slitheen's plan to infiltrate the distillery by hiding within the barrels. | |||
After some discussion, Vash convinces his father that vinegar is the Slitheen's weakness. They attach a hose to the outlet atop one of the vats of vinegar before Vash's father opens one of the barrels, from which emerges a Slitheen who is soon destroyed after Vash sprays it with vinegar. The other two slitheen also emerge from their barrels and are killed by the vinegar. The trio realize that the last Slitheen will return to see if the plan to infiltrate the distillery has worked. | |||
The next day, the disguised Slitheen returns to the distillery. Vash's father explains to the Slitheen that he had some new equipment delivered to the distillery and they have had to store it on top of the barrels that had been delivered the day before. Vash and Andiba give the Slitheen a wine bottle and a glass before telling him to drink their "wine" which has an unusual color. After a moment of hesitation, the Slitheen drinks the wine, only to find out with horror that he has actually drunken vinegar. | |||
Once the last Slitheen is dead, Andiba is given a new job of coordinating the business strategy at the distillery. During this job, she soon falls in love with Vash and they soon share the jewels that were within the Slitheen's ship with the rest of the townsfolk. At Andiba and Vash's wedding, Vash's father serves his finest wines. | |||
