"Wine, the most pleasant of drinks,
whether it is owed to Noah who planted the vineyard,
or whether it is owed to Bacchus who first squeezed the juice from the grape,
given from the infancy of the world. [...]
This thirst for a liquid that nature had wrapped in veils,
this extraordinary craving that acts on all human races,
under every climate and every temperature,
is well worthy of stopping the attention of the philosophical observer."
