It’s been a long time since I read the story, but yes, Amontillado is a type of wine. Montresor is the narrator of the story. I believe he’s leading Luchesi (or it may be Fortunato, I’m not sure. At any rate, it’s the sick man) into the catacombs to seal him in. Before the story, I don’t think any one had died. Montresor just believes Luchesi (or Fortunato) committed some injustice to him – insulted him or something. The story is about Montresor’s revenge.

Yes, amontillado is wine. Montresor leads a drunken Fortunato into the catacombs of his estate where he chains him to a wall and seals him up with brick to die. Montresor did this because Fortunato insulted him. If I remember right, I think it had to do with his family motto. It’s been awhile. I think Luchesi was a composer.

The story is told…

BY the last breath of the four winds that blow

I’ll have revenge upon Fortunato

Smile in his face I’ll say “come let us go

I’ve a cask of Amontillado”

Sheltered inside from the cold of the snow

Follow me now to the vault down below

Drinking the wine as we laugh at the time

Which is passing incredibly slow

(What are these chains that are binding my arm?)

Part of you dies each passing day

(Say it’s a game and I’ll come to no harm)

You’ll feel your life slipping away

You who are rich and whose troubles are few

May come around to see my point of view

What price the Crown of a King on his throne

When you’re chained in the dark all alone

(Spare me my life only name your reward)

Part of you dies each brick I lay

(Bring back some light in the name of the Lord)

You’ll feel your mind slipping away
