Klokt sagt om vin

I den lilla vin-applikationen WineSnob som jag just skrev om fanns det också en sektion med kul vin-citat. Det är några jag gärna delar med mig av. Allt är på engelska, men det klarar ni nog. Håll tillgodo:

"If God forbade drinking, would He have made wine so good?" Cardinal Richelieu

"Wine offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than possibly any other purely sensory thing which may be purchased." Ernest Hemingway

"Champagne, if you are seeking the truth, is better than a lie detector. It encourages a man to be expansive, even reckless, while lie detectors are only a challenge to tell lies successfully."
Graham Greene

"Wine is made to be drunk as women are made to be loved. Profit by the freshness of youth, or the splendor of maturity, but do not await decreptitude." Theophile Malvezin

"Let us have wine and women, mirth and laughter. Sermons and soda water the day after." Lord Byron

"Beer is made by men, wine by God." Martin Luther

"Penicillin cures, but wine makes people happy." Alexander Fleming

"Wine improves with age. The older I get, the more I like it." Anonym

"Wine is bottled poetry." Robert Louis Stevenson

"Quickly, bring me a beaker of wine, so that I may wet my mind, and say something clever." Aristophanes

"The discovery of a wine is of a greater moment than the discovery of a constellation. The universe is too full of stars." Benjamin Franklin 

Slutligen lägger jag till en personlig svensk favorit:

"Livet är för kort för att dricka dåliga viner." Pehr G Gyllenhammar
