I want to brag a little. I am dizzy,
under the influence of wine, which makes
even the wisest people sing and giggle,
and dance, and say things best not spoken.

Wine whets the wit, improves its native force…

Wine is wont to show the mind of man.

5749. Wine shews what a Man is.

Music is the wine which inspires one to new generative processes, and I am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for mankind and makes them spiritually drunken.

To exalt, enthrone, establish and defend,
To welcome home mankind's mysterious friend
Wine, true begetter of all arts that be;
Wine, privilege of the completely free;
Wine the recorder; wine the sagely strong;
Wine, bright avenger of sly-dealing wrong,
Awake, Ausonian Muse, and sing the vineyard song!

Wine can of their wits the wise beguile, Make the sage frolic, and the serious smile

"Every object, every being,
is a jar full of delight.

Be a connoisseur,
and taste with caution.

Any wine will get you high.
Judge like a king, and choose the purest,

the ones unadulterated with fear,
or some urgency about "what's needed."

Drink the wine that moves you
as a camel moves when it's been untied,
and is just ambling about."

Wine is bottled poetry.

Choice wine, whose bitter strength can sweeten best
The embittered mind, and flood
The air with colour, as when goshawk's breast
Is dyed with pheasant's blood

Yo bebí un vino fuerte,
como sólo el audaz bebe el placer.

Laughter for the soul, and wine for the body.

It seems there is something spiritual in wine.

From wine what sudden friendship springs!
