"Hail, shimmering color of wine, hail, unparalleled taste, strive to intoxicate us with your strength. What wondrous fruit has the pure vine produced, every table is gladdened by your presence. What a marvelous color, what a fragrant perfume, what a taste in the mouth, and sweetness on the tongue. Happy the belly you shall enter, happy the throat you shall traverse, happy the mouth and lips you shall wash. Therefore, let us praise wine, let us rejoice for the drinkers, and send to hell those who do not drink!"

Carmina Burana
