Knight of the Spigot

Mock-heroic name for a bartender. In the spirit of "knight of the quill" being used for a writer.

"He nods to the fellow tending bar and gives a slight shake of his thumb and forefinger. Next thing I know someone’s handing me a champagne flute brimming with effervescent gold. Aldo Pennebeck is the outgoing sort, definitely, even in his least exuberant moments. He’s a stockjobber who's making money as easily as a bartender draws a pint. A regular knight of the spigot."
