The saying goes that God gave water for thirst and wine for joy. The noble drop accompanies various meetings and celebrations: it is used to toast at the birth of children, at a wedding, a high Jubilee or just at a good lunch. Often, when the wine glasses sound full, a toast also sounds. People have probably written hymns to wine since time immemorial. The Romans left us interesting proverbs: and vino veritas – there is truth in wine; Vinum lac senum – wine is milk for old people; Vinum bonum deorum donum – good wine is a gift from God. Especially innkeepers and their guests would agree with the latter, who are ready to shell out high money for a good drop. The Slovenian proverb "drink, but don't drink your mind" warns us about the danger of wine intoxication; but if husbands refused, they often received harsh words from their wives. The large number of folk and artificial songs that sing this noble drop shows that wine is deeply rooted in Slovenian hearts. So you are invited to sing and toast with us!
Slovenski rek pravi, da je Bog dal vodo za žejo, vino pa za veselje. Žlahtna kapljica spremlja raznorazna srečanja in praznovanja: z njo se nazdravlja ob rojstvu otrok, ob poroki, visokem jubileju ali zgolj ob dobrem kosilu. Nemalokrat ob zvenečih trkih polnih vinskih kozarcev zazveni tudi zdravica. Hvalospeve vinu so ljudje verjetno pisali že od nekdaj. Rimljani so nam zapustili zanimive pregovore: In vino veritas – V vinu je resnica; Vinum lac senum – Vino je mleko starcem; Vinum bonum deorum donum – Dobro vino je božji dar. S slednjim bi se strinjali zlasti gostilničarji in njihovi gostje, ki so za dobro kapljico pripravljeni odšteti visoke denarce. Na nevarnost opojnosti vina nas opozarja slovenski pregovor »Pij, toda uma ne zapij«; če pa so se možje spozabili, so bili nemalokrat deležni ostrih besed svojih žena. Veliko število ljudskih in umetnih pesmi, ki opevajo to žlahtno kapljico, kaže, da je vino globoko zakoreninjeno v slovenskih srcih. Vabljeni torej, da zapojete in nazdravite z nami!
