1. “You must be drunk always. That is everything: the only question. Not to feel the horrible burden of Time that crushes your shoulders and bends you earthward, you must be drunk without respite. But drunk on what? On wine, on poetry, on virtue – take your pick. But be drunk.”
Charles Baudelaire

20. “There's always a wine bully. The one person who did read the 'Wine Spectator,' who tells you what to drink and why the '97 is better than the '98. I want to punch the wine bully in the face. I want to make sure this generation of wine drinkers isn't elitist and snotty. I want it to be about family and bringing people together.” Gary Vaynerchuk Wine, Culture, Inclusivity, Elitism, Family
22. “The world has changed - through technology, through wine-making techniques, the quality of wine is greater than it's ever been.

We're in the golden years of wine!” Gary Vaynerchuk Wine, Technology, Quality, Innovation, Growth
25. “The Greeks have a trick of disguising a poor quality wine by adding pine resin to it, the idea being that the taste of the resin is not quite so appalling as the taste of the wine. We drank retsina because that was all there was.” Roald Dahl Cultural Tradition, Wine Description, Greek Practice, Culture, Wine, Tradition
