Christopher Plummer once told me that he never orders a wine without first confirming that the restaurant has a second bottle in case he loves it.

My wife and I really enjoy a glass of red wine. We're too old to drink cheap wine, and we don't.

Wine is something to enjoy. We get sick and tired of people who pick it apart and talk about its 'saucy nuances.'

I think wine is such a big universe that it's kind of like food - it's intimidating to a lot of people, myself included.

Mixing one's wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably.

I never taste the wine first in restaurants, I just ask the waiter to pour.

I've always loved my red wine, and when I'm not working I can open a bottle too many. I love to cook, so it's one for me and one for the casserole. I would consume a bottle of wine on my own of an evening and then literally pass out.

Wine is a turncoat; first a friend and then an enemy.

Wine is a treacherous friend who you must always be on guard for.

Wine is wonderful stuff. But so many people are put off by the snobbery of it.
