Wine is bottled poetry.
What wine is so sparkling, so fragrant, so intoxicating![Og hvilken Viin er saa skummende, hvilken saa duftende, hvilken saa berusende!]
So much the worse for those who fear wine, for it is because they have some bad thoughts which they are afraid the liquor will extract from their hearts.[Tant pis pour ceux qui craignent le vin, c’est qu’ils ont quelque mauvaise pensée qu’ils craignent que le vin ne leur tire du cœur.]
A bottle of good wine, like a good act, shines ever in the retrospect.
