‘I made wine from the lilac tree: Put my heart in its recipe: It makes me see what I want to see…’ – Lilac Wine, James SheltonWine has long been considered the true drink of bohemian artists and socialist scoundrels the world over. In other terms, uneasy intellectuals who wish to drown their sorrows and partake in its temporary revelry and pseudo-escapism. It is one of the most important attributes of great parties and social gatherings across time. Winemaking in itself is considered and refined; an art, of which to speak. Enjoyment of this lucid, luscious, liquid, as in art, is found in sampling each of its diverse delights and finding a repertoire that really complements your palette. Never has the fermentation of fruit offered so much mirth. So whether your choice be red, white or rose – a fine Chilean Merlot, or a soft French Muscadet – peruse the art on offer in celebration of this delectable and desirable drink. by John Greene
