Greetings from the Critique Club!

You've achieved a nice effect here. The transition from clear to red is perfect, and the frozen drops add impact. The drops on the inside of the glass are a bit distracting, but unavoidable. The composition works well; the space on the left opens up the image, suggesting the libation will be offered to someone after it is poured. The glare on the left of the glass is near the edge so helps define the contour without getting in the way. The glare on the right isn't quite so useful; a small specular highlight (like the one to the left of the water stream) would have been preferable. But overall a great photo.

Cute pun in the title, very nice shot. I like the way you lighted the glass to get the feeling of transparency and reflectiveness.

Fantastic picture! I really love the effect that you get it between mix wine with water, but I hope it was a bad wine!!! Good use of the rule of the thirds. Definitely, good picture. 9

Composition is well done. Interesting and inventive shot. Clear liquid becoming red. Wondering what chemicals you used.
Only thing I like are some stray highlights that are reflecting off the glass.

Funny--I had the same idea but never shot it, hated to waste good wine. I think having the glass more full would have been better, and of course watching for the water splashes (see the front right). Might have also been good to include the full glass, just for that class of elegance. But still a good and fun entry.
