I drank a bottle of wine for company. It was Chateau Margaux. It was pleasant to be drinking slowly and to be tasting the wine and to be drinking alone. A bottle of wine was good company.

Ernest Hemingway

In the early '90s, my parents weren't really drinking wine. They had a bottle or two laying around, but it had been a stigma where a bottle of wine had to be for a super special occasion. A bottle of wine had to go with a steak. And it was this thing that seemed so distant.

Channing Frye

I like how wine continues to evolve, like if I opened a bottle of wine today it would taste different than if I'd opened it on any other day, because a bottle of wine is actually alive. And it's constantly evolving and gaining complexity.

Virginia Madsen

I've always loved my red wine, and when I'm not working I can open a bottle too many. I love to cook, so it's one for me and one for the casserole. I would consume a bottle of wine on my own of an evening and then literally pass out.

Amanda Donohoe

There are some pretty darn good bottles of wine for $50. I think I can tell that from a bottle of wine that costs $15 or $20.

Si's a red wine fanatic; I'm a white wine fanatic. Which is good, because it means you get a bottle to yourself!

Dave Myers

A sweetheart is a bottle of wine, a wife is a wine bottle.

Charles Baudelaire

You do not need to be an expert, or even particularly interested in wine, in order to enjoy drinking it. But tasting is not the same as drinking. Drinking pleases, mellows, loosens the tongue and inhibitions; drinking wine with food is healthy and natural; drinking good wine with good food in good company is one of life's most civilized pleasures.

Michael Broadbent

You can enjoy a $15 bottle of wine as much as you can enjoy a $100 bottle of wine.

Joe Bastianich

One holds a bottle of red wine by the neck, a woman by the waist, and a bottle of champagne by the derriere.

Mark Twain

A bottle of good wine, like a good act, shines ever in the retrospect.

Robert Louis Stevenson

A timely, interesting, educational approach to today's wine picture. Wine still makes a feast out of a meal, but in times of not so plenty we will enjoy a bottle that is more reasonable. This tome is a must-read for wine lovers as well as the trade.
