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
