Sayings

We're sitting at a bar in Knysna and the wine list has some wonderful quotes:

"What contempible scoundrel stole the cork from my lunch?"

"The great evil of wine is that it first seizes the feet, it is a crafty wrestler."

"I have enjoyed great health at a great age because everyday since I can remember I have consumed a bottle of wine except when I have not felt well. Then I have consumed two bottles."

"A hard drinker, being at a table, was offered grapes at dessert. 'Thank you', said he, pushing the dish away from him, 'but I am not in the habit of taking my wine in pills."
