Wine Bon Mot

[Rudi Finkler]

A bon mot of the German writer and philosopher Jean Paul, 1763-1825,
“Der Wein wirkt stärkend auf den Geisteszustand, den er vorfindet: Er macht die Dummen dümmer, die Klugen klüger.”
Loosely translated,
„Wine can only reinforce what already exists: Dumb people become dumber, bright people become brighter.”

[AlohaArtakaHoundsong]

Wein auf Bier, das rat ich dir.
Bier auf Wein, das lass sein.

[Rudi Finkler]

Haha, indeed, as the saying goes… but I would call that into question. It is all a question of quantity and moderation.
