Proverbial wisdom

Proverbs are cool. I have a huge list of “regular” ones, but these are from the fermented-grape-juice world:

“Burgundy for kings, Champagne for duchesses, claret for gentlemen.” — French proverb

“He who doesn’t risk never gets to drink Champagne.” — Russian proverb

“Wine carries no rudder.” — Latin proverb

“In wine there is wisdom. In beer there is freedom. In water there is bacteria.” — German proverb
