What is the "weak point" that the narrator is referring to in paragraph three?

1. His command of respect
2. His connoisseurship in wine
3. His demand to make folly of those he considered inferior
4. His desire to be feared
5. All of the above

While it's true that Fortunato looked down on others -- at least according to the author's point of view -- the narrator is clearly stating that it's connoisseurship of wine that he plans on using against him.
