first, I'd give them a job so that they could earn some money to pay for the wine.
but you don't give someone an address unless they have an address, so I'd have to find somewhere for them to live.
but they couldn't afford to do that unless they had some money, so I'd turn them over to social services instead.
if they ever emerged, I'd invite them to a wine-tasting to see what they liked.

I suppose you're very nearly an MW anyway, so whatever you write must be right...
