Hannibal Lector would not say test when he meant quantify.
Hannibal Lector would not drink Chianti by choice but might very well drink an Amarone with 15-20 years of bottle age. Perhaps the Dal Forno, the Speri, or the Antonieri. Amarone is also a red wine.
The point in your link is irrelevant. The line as written by Thomas Harris in the novel was fine and if it was a joke about MAO inhibitors, it was he who intended it so. The movie line sucks.
Besides which I have been treated for chronic depression for over 25 years. I am very familiar with any and all treatments used for this and their uses for other conditions. The movie line still sucks.

I'm rereading LotR and I'm of the opinion Jackson did a terrific job with the movies.
