Zitate

There are countless anecdotes, poems, stories, legends, and Weingenuss related quotes. Even in ancient writings and religious works, wine is a very popular and central theme. A good example is the Bibel, which contains countless quotes about and in connection with wine. One of the most beautiful is found in Psalm 104/15 in the Old Testament: The wine gladdens the heart of man. Wine and love are a wonderful connection, and not a few people probably owe their existence to a few glasses of enjoyed wine.

Quotes - Book and Wine Glass

Popular sayings express this aptly: Where Bacchus (God of Wine) pours the fire, Lady Venus sits by the oven. Anecdotes and quotes about wine exist from many famous personalities. A true declaration of love for Champagner comes from Madame Lily Bollinger (1899-1977), the famous head of the Champagne house. One of the most beautiful anecdotes comes from the French statesman Prince Charles Maurice Talleyrand (1754-1838).

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
