The Divine Grape
Every sip brings you closer to the gods.Although Dionysus is a god of many things, we like to focus on his responsibilities for all things wine-related, from the success and high yield of the grape harvest, to the winemaking process. To have his patronage is essential in a society that consumes as much wine as we do! Eubulus, the comic poet – a contemporary of ours – described the toasting process thusly: “Three bowls do I mix for the temperate: one to health, which they empty first; the second to love and pleasure; the third to sleep. When this bowl is drunk up, wise guests go home. The fourth bowl is ours no longer, but belongs to violence; the fifth to uproar; the sixth to drunken revel; the seventh to black eyes; the eighth is the policeman’s; the ninth belongs to biliousness; and the tenth to madness and the hurling of furniture.” Never a truer word said!
