The origin of the immortal drink comes from the Latin word VINUM,

for which literal translation does not exist. There is not an artist, writer

or a poet who did not devote at least one sentence, one verse to the

wine. Large number of proverbs as an essential wisdom from many

nations is devoted to wine and its properties.

In these collected Latin sentences we come across:

In vino veritas - In wine is trouth

Vinum lac senum - Wine is milk of old people

Post vinum verba, post ibrem nascitur herba - After wine come words,
as grass grows after rain

Quante vinum, tale latinum - Like wine like Latin

Vina dant animus - Wine lifts up one’s spirit

Vinum dementat sapientem - Wine turns even wise man into
madness

Vinum st mulieres apostatare faciunt - Wine and woman make wise
man fall off
