No wine star would glitter in the sky
If earth itself liked no wine
On earth the place of wine fountain should not lie

And thick wine can make a man wise and fine

Why to beg the lord and heaven?

One jar merges me into nature well
The delight I enjoyed while drunk
Those who are sober can never tell”

Wine has lit up for me the pages of literature, and revealed in life romance lurking in the commonplace. Wine has made me bold but not foolish; has induced me to say silly things but not to do them.”
