One of my favourite poets is Rumi, also know under his full name of Mawlānā Jalāl-ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī (Persian: مولانا جلال الدین محمد رومی, Turkish: Mevlânâ Celâleddin Mehmed Rumi, Arabic: جلال الدين الرومي, shortened to إبن الرومي). a 13th century Muslim jurist and theologian from Persia.
Rumi (from wikipedia)
For us modern, 21st century vintners and wine lovers the following excerpts from one of his poems on wine are of interest:
The Many Wines
God has given us a dark wine so potent that,
drinking it, we leave the two worlds.
There are thousands of wines
That can take over your minds.
Be a connoisseur,
And taste with caution.
Any wine will get you high.
Judge like a king, and choose the purest,
The ones unadulterated with fear,
or some urgency about “what’s needed”.
Drink the wine that moves you
as a camel moves when it’s been untied,
and is just ambling about.
(Source: cited from: “The Essential Rumi”, translated by Coleman Barks, with John Moyne, A.J. Arberry and Reynold Nicholson, Castle Books, 1997, page 6 and 7)

Hi
Vinters Knive 2 – Roman pruning knives:
Not a hammer knob on the back of the blades , but a small pruning chisel – still commonly found on tools from France, Italy and Spain..
Regards,
Bob
That’s not a poem of the 21st century I think. But it’s true. I’m from Germany and we love wine and beer, too.
