There\u2019s a lot of wisdom in a bottle of wine<\/a>. You know that because as you drink, you find yourself musing on all aspects of life, and conversation becomes so much more interesting. Here, we\u2019ve collected 10 of the best wine sayings<\/strong>. They\u2019re drawn from across the wine drinking world, and over the centuries. What they have to say could completely change your life, or just improve your next dinner.<\/p>\n

The Wine Sayings You Need to Know<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

1) What Grows Together, Goes Together<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This is a great rule of thumb for choosing wine in a hurry. If you know a certain wine comes from a coastal region, it\u2019s likely to go with the seafood of the country that it comes from. Similarly, if it comes from an inland region, the chances are that it\u2019ll match a region\u2019s agricultural based food. That\u2019s because the winemakers in an area would make wine that tasted good with the food that they ate every day. For some awesome pairings based on this principle, read \u2018What Grows Together Goes Together: Regional Food and Wine Pairings<\/a>\u2019.<\/p>\n

2) The Greater the Smoke, The Greater the Oak<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This is another excellent rule for understanding oakiness in a wine. The smokier the food tastes, the more oak aging the wine needs to have had in order to taste good in combination with the dish. Unoaked wine with barbecued meat will be overwhelmed with the flavours from the food. By comparison, there\u2019s not much point choosing a wine that\u2019s spent five years aging in a cask if the meat has been steamed.<\/p>\n

3) Life is Too Short for Crap Wine<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Seriously. There are lots of good bottles of wine around, and you don\u2019t need to drink something which you hate. If you don\u2019t know what the good bottles are, wine critics will happily tell you. Our database even has a special section of wine recommended by Robert Parker<\/a>, the internationally renowned critic, and we put scores next to highly rated wine.<\/p>\n

4) \u201cI cook with wine. Sometimes I even add it to the food.\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

W. C. Fields<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fields was onto something. You should only cook with wine that you\u2019re prepared to drink. That\u2019s because if it\u2019s awful in the glass, it\u2019ll just add those terrible flavours to your meal. Similarly, bland wine won\u2019t add much to a dish. Also pair the wine that you\u2019re cooking with with the meal, as I have an unfortuate memory of adding a very floral Beaujolais<\/a> to a bolognese. The result was that a traditionally tomatoey meat dish tasted of flowers.<\/p>\n

5) \u201cI spent ninety percent of my money on wine, women and song, and just wasted the other ten percent.\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Ronnie Hawkins<\/strong><\/p>\n

Can you buy happiness? Psychologists have looked into the issue and come up with a very clear \u2018sort of\u2019. First of all, you need enough money to take care of your daily needs. After that, extra money doesn\u2019t add to your happiness, unless you spend it on experiences that you enjoy. Status objects will do nothing for you. Yet experiences like good wine that you enjoy will add pleasure to your life.<\/p>\n

6) \u201cMen are like wine – some turn to vinegar, but the best improve with age.\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Pope John XXII<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking from the 14thC., His Holiness hit on a timeless truth. Over the years, a wine\u2019s acidity, sweetness, tannin and flavour expression come into balance if there\u2019s potential. Or the wine spoils. Also with the right fundamentals, people come into balance over their lifespan, or turn bad.<\/p>\n

7) \u201cMarriage is like wine. It is not to be properly judged until the second glass.\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Douglas William Jerrold<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wine often improves on a second tasting. Recently, I tried Moscatel de Valencia, and on the first glass, I thought it was only so-so. Yet on the second, it tasted like a liquid slice of lemon pie, with interesting sherbet and bitter lemon notes. It\u2019s now become quite a favourite for me. Also, relationships change, and marriages have to last beyond that first flush of romance. There\u2019s no reason they can\u2019t also get better with time like a delicious bottle of Spanish moscatel.<\/a><\/p>\n
