O sing unto the grape, her glory!
Impatient, she awaits undress—
Sun warmed, sun ripened, Rubenesque!
They who decry her worth, her alchemies,
flatworms shall feed upon them.

.

In praise of the grape and a curse upon oenophobes (haters of wine). Sacrificio, the name of this sort of wine, from "Sacrifice," originated as the 1st wine of the season that was reserved for the Roman god, Bacchus. Wine was once considered to be a remedy for flatworms (tapeworms and their relatives).

Enjoyed, my friend.  But the only thing I like about wine . . . is the pretty bottles. My wife loves, and partakes regularly - I think the best wine is the "poured out" variety.

LOL . . . jimmy
