Wine Quotes
What is wine? It is the grape present in another form; its essence is there, though the fruit which produced it grew thousands of miles away, and perished years ago. So the object of many a tender thought may be spiritually present, in defiance of space - and fond recollections cherished in defiance of time.
Samuel Lover

Ah, wasteful woman, she who mayOn her sweet self set her own price,Knowing man cannot choose but pay,How has she cheapen'd paradise;How given for nought her priceless gift,How spoil'd the bread and spill'd the wine,Which, spent with due, respective thrift,Had made brutes men, and men divine.
