[Avodah] Wine Gladdens the Heart

[Cantor Wolberg]

I find the following somewhat strange:

The usual Seudah Mafsekes is replaced with a regular Seudah  
Shlishis        																							                                 
of Shabbos at which one may eat meat and drink wine and eat any foods  
one desires...etc.              
																	                               Shulchan Aruch w/ 
Mishnah Brurah 552:10, Shmiras Shabbos Kehilchasa 28:77, Igros Moshe  
4:112

What I find strange is being allowed to drink wine right before the  
saddest day of our year.    
															                                                     I  
needn't go into detail what wine can do and the happy effect it can  
have.  I would have thought    
														                                          that wine  
would have been assur right before Tisha b'Av, even though it is  
Shabbos.

Any thoughts?
