Just consider how many things Columbo can do in such a short period of time
He analizes the crime situation to the suspect and cooks a delicious meal at the same time. He times everything so perfect. Doesnt mention what type of poison was found until he gives a firm suspicion directly to him. That is a clear tactic to provoke the murderer to become greedy and try to poison him too, so he forces the proof in the glass but at the same time spares the murderer's own life for the sake of justice.
I like how Columbo is always so polite to the criminals. He doesn't ever kick down the door and start yelling at them, accusing them left and right. No, he explains his thought process then delicately places the blame.
I've watched this video several times, and I do not see where Columbo ever switched the glasses of wine. We see the villian take a glass of wine (with the posion?) over to Columbo while he is cooking, and Columbo telling him to just set it down. But Columbo returns back to the table with that same glass of wine (and not a different one).
So how is it that the villian ever ends up with the posioned wine? Can someone explain this? Columbo says he switched the glasses..but when??
@FreeSociety1 Gerard's wine is sitting on the table next to the stove (the one with Columbo's ingredients) when he brings Columbo the poisoned wine. If you pause it at 6:14 you can see both glasses (Gerard's is a little hidden but it's directly in front of Columbo). Columbo switched the glasses as Gerard walks off at that time, not hard since they're only a foot or so from each other.
@icewatercube, well remember Columbo told him there at the table, they (finally) found out how the man died.i guess he thought since the police did not know, he could still get away using it.......
@ferocel The only thing I've never been sure is whether he was saying the food was good and he wished Columbo had gone that route versus detective or if he was saying the food was terrible and he wished he could have savaged him in a review...
@tfan68a Hey, good point! I watched him chewing before I wrote this and yes, his reaction is ambiguous. You'd make a great detective yourself! Or is that 'great chef'? Hang on, I'm getting confused ................

This is one of the most satisfying Columbo endings of all time. Jourdan is a marvelous, almost reptilian adversary.
