“Wine is the most civilized thing in the world,” says the writer Ernest Hemingway. On the other hand the dramatist William Shakespeare wrote: “O thou invisible spirit of wine, if thou hast no name to be known by, let us call thee devil.”
    “In wine there is truth” says a Roman proverb, but the Greek philosopher Heraclitus wrote: “It is better to hide ignorance, but it is hard to do this when we relax over wine.” Old William Shakespeare weighed in again:: “I am falser than vows made in wine.”
    There is an anonymous old saying that “Reality is an illusion that occurs due to a lack of wine,” to that Benjamin Franklin the American statesman, author, scientist, political philosopher, printer, and inventor added “Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.”
    The yangs have it: Wine is a good thing and it improves when you know more about it.

Give the joy of a fine wine tasting
