The façade of the life of wine

Escape from the cloud and mist of the city, hide in the room of muskiness and drown your sorrows, as you worry about the sun rising tomorrow. You wish and hope that the alcohol in the wine will numb your tongue and numb your senses. You drink as if you are enjoying but you tear and drip drops of blood in the inner self of yours. Alone you sit, and you no longer remember how it feels like to savour the smooth taste of a glass of harmonic wine that once made you so peaceful.

Do you long for it? Do you still long to regain the warmth and comfort that the glass of red wine always promises you? If you do, please allow yourself to depart from the city of stress, but not with a longing to glurp and be drunk. But i urge you to depart from the city of unease and search for peace and a refreshing of the mind once you hold "her" in your embrace.

Yes you may feel burdened from work, but why not take a minute to choose the love of the night you would wish to have for company tonight? Assess her colour, her clarity, and her subtleness. Swirl her to release her mysterious aromas, and please do allow her to take your burdened mind away with the swirls. Listen to the waves and close your eyes as you bring her closer. Do you not see behind your closed eyelids, how gentle the drops of wine are dancing in the wavy movements? Awake your taste buds that can no longer wait by now. You finally take a sip but please do not let her pass you by just like that. Feel the swoosh in you mouth and you will realise how she feels for you. "She" may love you with sweetness of fruits or hate you so much out of love that she makes your gums and teeth dry or furry with tannin. Appreciate her nevertheless, for every one of them are unique in "herself".

And as my topic goes, wine has got many façades. It is really worth while to pay a little more attention to them. Gushing them down your throat is never a good way to appreciate them. Sip and savour. You may not love it the first time, but if you are patient enough to taste it one more time, you may start to discover the deeper roots of the vine that it once belonged to, something that you just might fall so in love with.
