Another commented, ''Drones take graphic design and marketing to another level!'' A third said, ''Terrific! What an interesting use of technology in marketing!'' 

A fourth wrote, ''These airborne ambassadors of joy defied convention by illuminating the night with a synchronized dance of lights. They soared through the velvety darkness, each drone representing a grape-filled glass, creating a celestial display reminiscent of a cosmic wine tasting.''
