Charles Dickens quote

There is a phrase that I cannot understand in Plated article of dickens - "It tastes of pepper, sugar, bitter almonds, vinegar, warm knives, any flat drinks, and a little brendi." He is talking about wine. And I cant determine the meaning of "warm knives" in this sentence.

I think he is saying that the wine has a metallic taste. He evidently doesn't like the wine any more than he likes anything else in the town.
