"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink, I feel shame. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams shattered. Then I say to myself, it is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver." - Jack Handy

"Grapes are the most noble and challenging of fruits." - Malcolm Dunn, 1867

"The air is like a draught of wine. The undertaker cleans his sign, the Hull express goes off the line, when it's raspberry time in Runcorn." - Noel Coward (1899-1973)
