Riddled: Come lovely and soothing death, Undulate round the world, serenely arriving, arriving, And fall on Slough. To get it ready for the plough.

The bottle is then riddled, so that the lees settles in the neck of the wine bottle... Manual riddling is still done for Prestige Cuvées in Champagne... mechanised riddling equipment (a gyropalette) is used instead. (Wikipedia)

Come lovely and soothing death,
Undulate round the world, serenely arriving, arriving,
And fall on Slough.
To get it ready for the plough.

The world needs more Walt Whitman / John Betjeman mash-ups.
