Just as I thought - the meaning is so deeeeeep ........ As E.G. Krishnamurti said, "Don't ask me these questions." Dee Dovey

Depends how you interpret "have". You need to taste wine to appreciate it - you only have it in the colloquial sense of having a sip, or having a glass of the wine.

Possessing a bottle gives me very little pleasure. And indeed if it truns out to be corked it never will.
