pull a fast one: to trick someone in a smart or sneaky way

The wine was brewed in his bathroom and strained through a sock, staying true to prison-style methods. He called his creation “The Grape Escape.”
Max invited three respected critics to a tasting at a stylish bar in London. Without knowing what they were drinking, the critics praised the wine for its floral notes and acidity. One even picked it as her favorite. Watch the video below to see their reaction when Max reveals how the wine was made.
