I know someone whom I believe could make the mistake and who claims to be knowledgeable about wines. Of course that’s not the point, nor is it a metaphor for guys who are dogs. It’s a fantasy of getting even for a deception. The relationship between having a glass of wine with a man and having sex is an add-on, not the main purpose of the poem. Still, the metaphor works in real life, I think, though it’s admittedly not well developed in the poem.
