"Tired". A wine that is not holding up well. The old zip has gone. Past its prime, the wine lacks vitality and muscle to sustain it. The fruit has all but vanished. Tannin and/or acid are petering out. The wine cannot develop or improve. A tired wine is sometimes attributable to old age, sometimes not : poor storage, sloppy vinification methods, faulty handling along the line of distribution could be the cause, among other factors. Other descriptions : faded, old, exhausted, dull, flat, played out, uninteresting. 2, record 17, English, - tired

[The coral stitch or knot] is best worked as a firm line as it becomes weak and straggling if the knots are too far apart. Work from right to left or from top to bottom. Bring the thread out at the starting point and lay it along the line to be worked, holding it down with the left thumb. Take a small stitch under the line where the knot is to be spaced(the thread lies on top of the needle as it enters the fabric) and pull through, taking the needle over the lower loop to form the knot.(A complete Guide to Embroidery, D.
