Online Wine Wit

A resource site for Irish wine-lovers, www.wrathofgrapes

A resource site for Irish wine-lovers, www.wrathofgrapes.com, features an extensive and diverting collection of quotations about wine - many from classical and biblical sources, but some less well known ones from films. Take Bond in Goldfinger, for instance, back in 1964: "My dear girl, there are some things which just aren't done, such as drinking Dom Perignon '53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. That's just as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs."
