Now Len:
When one has a good bottle of wine or liquor stoppered
by a cork, one lays it on its side, while it ages, to
keep the cork moist. 

This prevents the cork from drying, shrinking, and
therefore no longer stoppering the bottle, allowing
the contents to oxidize and spoil.

A dusty bottle is what one would expect if one were to
conjure it from ones wine cellar.
