Poetry, wine and music
Wine might have been described as bottled poetry, but poetry suggests it can sometimes be bottled music, which you can drink with impunity!
“O, for a draught of vintage! Tasting of …Provençal song,” wrote the Romantic poet John Keats, in his Ode to a Nightingale. Like many writers since the dawn of wine, music and this most poetic of beverages, mingle in their imagination. Wine is often evoked as an insight-bringing and emotionally enriching substance in its couplings with music. Some poetic metaphors, like that of Keats, are even explicitly crossmodal.
