If you know that amontillado is wine, and there is an entire cask of it, then one might suspect a good deal of drinking, or perhaps that is worth a great deal. This isn't a simple bottle, it's an entire cask which could hold 5-20 gallons!!! Wow!
When you later learn that this wine is in itself valuable, then oh boy, things are looking up, we are talking money or else the people drinking it are sophisticated people who are about to enjoy a very nice time.

This title cannot convey anything. E.A. Poe has passed in to the realm of pop literature, and pop, in that it is distributed so broadly, reproduced so thoroughly, survives beyond meaning in the play of pure, equivocal signs against one another. The work, its title, its cannonization in American Lit., etc., all arise simultaneously, like a hologram, without center and without meaning. This is why E. A. Poe sucks.

That the story will be about sharing a glass of wine.

It sounds historical and sort of like a mystery.
