Oh wonderful, tempting wine, Delicate fruit of the vine, The grape, a luscious berry, Chosen to keep us merry. It was deemed medication, Despite intoxication. It may relieve pain and strife, It's a paradox of life. Red or white sparkling or still, You’ll love it, I know you will. Choose a bottle from the shelf Twill draw you out of yourself. Enhances meals, its vino The best pick-me-up we know.

Very good poem. I read your reply to Sara, and I agree. Wine isn't that tasty, but I drink some every day for health benefits. And like you, I love Baileys Irish Cream (I think it's the sugar). I imbibe only at night when I quit driving. Best wishes to you during the holidays.

Hi Hilda, We rarely have Baileys in the house but when we do, a lil goes in every coffee I have until the bottle is empty. (it can last quite a long time that way.) Thank you for your lovely comment. Every best wish to you for a happy safe holiday season, from Wen
