Talking about booze and cosmic affairs... Have you seen this? We at work have concluded what it was. The ISS crew jettisoned the beer keg after the Armistice Day celebrations.
I hope a couple of minutes. But I hope longer than its take for you to complete this paper: https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/help/moonorbit.html

12th you say, fine by me then...but is it correct? You tell me...

Why so super? The moon's orbit around the Earth is slightly elliptical, so sometimes it's closer and sometimes it's farther away. When the moon is full as it passes closest to the Earth, it's called a "supermoon." At that point, it can be as much as 14 percent closer to the Earth than at apogee, or when it's furthest away.

The proximity makes the full moon appear much larger in diameter and because it is larger, it shines 30 percent more moonlight onto the Earth.

I'm out of wine...BARTENDER! Moonshine please.

Moon...shine. Get it? what country will provide the best moonshine?
