An "addictive" bottle of 1825 Perrier-Jouet was opened at a ceremony attended by 12 of the world's top wine tasters. How can you get addicted to something there's only one of?
What a bunch of oxymorons.

There are now just two 1825 vintage bottles left - and Perrier-Jouet has no plans to open them soon. Oops. My mistake.
It helps to follow the source link sometimes.

I thought an Oxy-moron was a dumb kid with a severe case of zits.

An "oxymoron" is: "A figure of speech in which incongruous or contradictory terms appear side by side; a compressed paradox." It is not a fancy way of saying "moron".
When you criticize someone else's use of the language, it's a good idea to avoid making a much worse error in your critique.
