"Let's pour the red wine - lovingly, with infinite caution - into the pot-bellied glass that demands the warm caress of the hand; or, with equal care, the white into the tall, aristocratic and nervy glass, which the hand keeps away; let's observe in transparency the colors, let's already enjoy the cheerful and flashing play of tonal reflections; let's give the glass, lightly, a hint of rotation: the wine surface increases; every hidden suggestion is released, and we inhale it, from the bouquet; in a kiss we sip it for the tongue, for the palate; we let ourselves be invaded by memories: thousands and thousands and thousands; every wine drunk has its story."

Luigi Veronelli
