There are some really clever and famous wine quotations out there, so let's share some.  I will start with a "tongue-in-cheek" quote - not sure who said it but it brings a smile to my face:

"Men are like a fine wine.  They all start out like grapes, and it's our job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something you'd like to have dinner with"

Another one I like is the Spanish Proverb "With wine and hope, anything is possible".

We have a plaque hanging in the kitchen which reads:

One not only drinks the wine, one smells it, observes it, tastes it, sips it and - one talks about it.

Not a wine quote, but a life quote and since lovewine is about people who love with with life, thought was ok:

Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told: "I'm with you kid. Let's go." Maya Angelou

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. Mohandas Gandhi

Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need - a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink; for thirst is a dangerous thing.
Jerome K. Jerome
Three Men in a Boat

The correct way to treat a good wine... Open the bottle to allow it to breathe. If it does not look like it's breathing, give it mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
