What foreshadowing can be seen in the narrator's descriptions of English liquor in "The Second Night"?

Balram’s job of buying European liquor for his employers is an aspect of his work that continually recurs throughout his time with Mr. Ashok and his family. On every occasion it appears it foreshadows the role that a bottle of European alcohol plays in the novel’s climax, when Balram uses a bottle to kill Mr. Ashok.
