• We need not be intimidated by the wine snob because we know that, in the last analysis, he is only putting on a front.

One of the most fascinating aspects of the wine-hobby is the extent to which you learn all the time

• No sane person, I hope, would accuse me of saying that every Distributist must drink beer; especially if he could brew his own cider or found claret better for his health.

And I would shout the name of beer a hundred times a day, to shock all the snobs who have so shameful a sense of shame.

  Gilbert K. Chesterton

Even losing has a certain gloomy glamour: the gods of chance are worthy opponents; we have engaged them in hand-to-hand combat and though we lost, at least we shrank not from the contest.
