“Wine, with all its scents, aromas, lightness, and body, is essentially like a person. That’s why it’s such a noble thing. You don’t know it by its appearance, but by tasting it.

So, you have to wait for the right moment; it’s not easy, but you have to feel when it comes, and then, without hesitation, remove it from its environment. Once you’ve done that, just like with people, let it release its soul. Then, take a good look at it, like when saying goodbye to an old friend, and then happily say farewell.”
– Ezel (from Revenge)
