The value of wine?

And much as Wine has play'd the Infidel,
And robb'd me of my Robe of Honor - well,
I often wonder what the Vintners buy
One half so precious as the stuff they sell.

Edward Fitzgerald's translation of Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám

Cooking with wine

I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food.
W. C. Fields
