For the Bible tells me so …

The so-called “Good Book” is filled with vinous references. A few of my favorites:

• “Eat thy bread with joy and drink thy wine with a merry head.” — Ecclesiastes 9:7

• “No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.” — Luke 5:39

• “Wine, which cheereth God and man.” — Judges 9:13

• “Wine was created from the beginning to make men joyful, and not to make men drunk. Wine drunk with moderation is the joy of soul and the heart.” — Ecclesiastes 31:35-36

• “Forsake not an old friend; for the new is not comparable to him: a new friend is as new wine; when it is old, thou shalt drink it with pleasure” — Ecclesiastes 9:10
