They are not long, the days of wine and roses. Out of a misty dream, our path emerges for a while, then closes, within a dream.

A lot of people want to take their wife out to dinner. They want to order a bottle of Champagne and they want other people to see the bottle. Wine is an adjunct. People can see it the same way they can see your clothes.

Wine is a grocery, not a luxury.

I should say upfront that I have never been in a cellar in my life. In fact, I can see no reason why anyone should ever go into a cellar unless there is wine involved.

RACHEL HAWKINS

Hex Hall


Now let you and me buy wine today!
Why say we have not the price?
My horse spotted with five flowers,
My fur-coat worth a thousand pieces of gold,
These I will take out, and call my boy
To barter them for sweet wine.
And with you twain, let me forget
The sorrow of ten thousand ages!

LI BAI

"An Exhortation"


Wine is a sensual pleasure. Its real value is when it splashes into the glass. It is not in the category of a Degas painting. The point is not for people to go to their cellar and stroke their bottles.

SERENA SUTCLIFFE


Go on, have a glass of wine with dinner. What is wine, anyway? Pure grapes. A glass of wine is much better for you than a Coke.

The memory of some bottles can stay with your for life. While the wine doesn't have to be old and rare, a great old bottle can be like a time capsule, capturing in its flavors and aromas the time and place of its creation.

MIREILLE GUILIANO

French Women for All Seasons


Thus, while I quaff the genial wine,
I live mid transports quite divine.

ANACREON

It's not sipping wine. It's a mourning wine. You drain it. Like this.

Pancakes and wine is not a slot that exists in my life. Does anyone drink wine with pancakes? If they do, would they even mind what that wine was?

VICTORIA MOORE

"Which wine should I drink with pancakes?", The Telegraph, February 6, 2016


Pure wine is fit for a royal table, while impure at any price proclaims an uneducated palate.

JAMES LEMOINE DENMAN

Pure Wine and How to Know It


The best way to learn about wine is to uncork a few bottles and start sampling.

HARVEY STEIMAN

Wine Spectator's


When you're new to wine drinking, the special wine seems esoteric, fetishistic, even faintly ridiculous. Simply put, you don't get it, like someone who doesn't follow sports listening to devoted fans rhapsodizing over a memorable game.

MATT KRAMER

"That Special Wine", Wine Spectator, April 30, 2017


Wine is a little bottle of teleportation. It takes you where it was made. The more you drink wine, the more you start to realize this tastes like Italy, or this tastes like France. How the hell can Italy have a taste?! Wine, that's how.

No wine can be regarded as unimportant, my friend, since the marriage at Cana.

Wine is for sharing. What's the fun of swirling, swishing, sloshing and yakking if my friends can't join in?

JENNIFER ROSEN

Waiter, There's a Horse in My Wine


Wine is the most healthful and most hygienic of beverages.

LOUIS PASTEUR

attributed, Sura's Quotable Quotes, Adages and Sayings


Drinking wine is easy: tilt glass and swallow. Really tasting wine is more of a challenge. You need the proper tools and environment, the ability to concentrate, a good memory and a vivid imagination.
