Wine Tasting
- 1. Come, come, good wine is a good familiar creature if it be well used; exclaim no more against it. (W. Shakespeare: Othello)There is not the hundredth part of the wine consumed in this kingdom that there ought to be. Our foggy climate wants help. (Jane Austen: Northanger Abbey )When I find someone I respect writing about an edgy, nervous wine that dithered in the glass, I cringe.油 When I hear someone I don't respect talking about an austere, unforgiving wine, I turn a bit austere and unforgiving myself.油 When I come across stuff like that and remember about the figs and bananas, I want to snigger uneasily.油 You can call a wine red, and dry, and strong, and pleasant.油 After that, watch out.... (Kingsley Amis: Everyday Drinking)Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing. (Ernest Hemingway: Death in the Afternoon )1
- 2. John Keats: The Mermaid TavernSouls of Poets dead and gone, What Elysium have ye known, Happy field or mossy cavern, Choicer than the Mermaid Tavern? Have ye tippled drink more fine Than mine host`s Canary wine? Or are fruits of Paradise Sweeter than those dainty pies Of Venison? O generous food! Drest as though bold Robin Hood Would, with his Maid Marian, Sup and bowse from horn and can. .Souls of Poets dead and gone, What Elysium have ye known Happy field or mossy cavern Choicer than the Mermaid Tavern? 2

- 10. Emily Dickinson I taste a liquor never brewedI taste a liquor never brewed, From tankards scooped in pearl; Not all the vats upon the Rhine Yield such an alcohol! Inebriate of air am I, And debauchee of dew, Reeling, through endless summer days, From inns of molten blue. When the landlord turn the drunken bee Out of the foxglove's door, When butterflies renounce their drams, I shall but drink the more! Till seraphs swing their snowy hats, And saints to windows run, To see the little tippler Leaning against the sun.10
- 11. Ben Johnson: To Celia Drink to me only with thine eyesAnd I will pledge with mine; Or leave a kiss but in the cup And I'll not look for wine. The thirst that from the soul doth rise Doth ask a drink divine; But might I of Jove's nectar sup, I would not change for thine. I sent thee late a rosy wreath, Not so much honouring thee As giving it a hope that there It could not wither'd be; But thou thereon didst only breathe, And sent'st it back to me; Since when it grows, and smells, I swear, Not of itself but thee!11
