And Noah he often said to his wife when he sat down to dine, "I don't care where the water goes if it doesn't get into the wine". G.K. Chesterton(1874–1936) Wine and Water
The smell of wine, oh how much more delicate, cheerful, gratifying, celestial and delicious it is than that of oil.
Rabelias Gargantua
Wine gives great pleasure; and every pleasure is of itself a good. It is a good, unless counterbalanced by evil.
Samuel Johnson Boswell's Life of Johnson
Wine is the drink of the gods, milk the drink of babies, tea the drink of women, and water the drink of beasts.
