6 There were white and blue linen curtains fastened with cords of fine linen and purple on silver rods and marble pillars; and the acouches were of gold and silver on a mosaic pavement of alabaster, turquoise, and white and black marble.  
7 And they served drinks in golden vessels, each vessel being different from the other, with royal wine in abundance, aaccording to the generosity of the king.  
8 In accordance with the law, the drinking was not compulsory; for so the king had ordered all the officers of his household, that they should do according to each man’s pleasure.
9 Queen Vashti also made a feast for the women in the royal palace which belonged to King Ahasuerus.

Esther 1:7

they gave them drink in vessels of gold—There is reason to believe from this account, as well as from Esther 5:6; Esther 7:2, Esther 7:7-8, where the drinking of wine occupies by far the most prominent place in the description, that this was a banquet rather than a feast.
