God knows they have the money, the least they could do is purchase some better drinks.
The glass of wine was turned in Igor's fidgety hands - the taste was sour, the way Goblins preferred their drink, but to Igor's taste and the estimation of others, it was unpalatable. Still, most of the human guests invited to this party did not want to say anything to their hosts, since Goblins were an irritable lot, sensitive to offenses.

Igor mingled, smiling falsely at unrecognized faces who knew him only as Headmaster of Durmstrang Institute. Everybody carried their glasses, loathe to drink but reluctant to set them down. Among the humans, their short-statured hosts weaved through the crowd. Igor resisted the urge to sneer - ever since he could remember, his family had to work with these ... people (to use the term loosely)... and he acquired a distaste for them. Still, they were powerful and influential, since they were practically in control of the Wizarding World's currency in many countries. They were not to be trifled with, and thus were treated with courtesy.
