Ruby

Just that---ruby.

Why would you ever add "red" to that? I thought this after reading the description on the back of a wine bottle. Are not all rubies red? I mean deep, luscious, lasciviously, sensuously----RED?!

I mean, I'm sure there is some rare blue ruby out there somewhere, but really, even if one has not seen a real ruby --and that is most of us-- don't we all know deep in our mind-eyes what that color is like?
