“[God] made wine to gladden the heart of men; do not, therefore, when at table you see your neighbor pour wine into his glass, be eager to mingle water with it. Why would you drown truth?.. Man...is framed in a manner that he may raise his glass to his mouth...Let us, then, with glass in hand, adore this benevolent wisdom; --let us adore and drink!” - Benjamin Franklin
“Wine, madam, is God's next best gift to man.” - The Devil's Dictionary
“Wine is the most civilized thing in the world.” - Ernest Hemingway
And perhaps my favorite...
“A mind of the calibre of mine cannot derive its nutriment from cows.” - George Bernard Shaw
Touché, Shaw!
