As David Auerbach once said,
In wine there is wisdom,
in beer there is freedom,
in water there is bacteria.”
So I guess you can have a beer or glass of wine tonight with your dinner and not feel too guilty over it. But, remember, do all good things in moderation! I think the Pope said that.
“We hear of the conversion of water into wine at the marriage in Cana as of a miracle. But this conversion is, through the goodness of God, made every day before our eyes. Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, and which incorporates itself with the grapes, to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy.” Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
“Wine is the most healthful and most hygienic of beverages.”
Louis Pasteur (1822-1895)
“Wine is a precarious aphrodisiac, and its fumes have blighted many a mating.” Norman Douglas, English writer (1868-1952)
