Superstitions irk wine lovers too!
Is there any truth in that? Whether you believe it or not there are a lot of superstitions and folklores related to wine. We list a few:
When in Rome, don't spill wine
Everyone has always lived by the notion that there's no use crying over spilled milk. Spilled wine is another story altogether. The Romans possessed a belief that spilling wine inadvertently was an omen of disaster, as ominous as crossing paths with a black cat or having a snake fall from the roof into a yard. When wine fell to the ground or on a table, bad things were bound to happen.
Spilling wine on purpose brings luck
The breaking of a wine filled glass is typically thought of as a good omen when performed at marriages. A token for a happy life, this act will lead to unyielding love and affection.
Women invented wine
The Persian legend says wine was invented when a woman, plagued by a headache, drank fermented juice from a jar used for grape storage. After consumption, she became relaxed and at ease, eventually falling asleep and waking up cured.
Shake it right
The Germans believe that when someone dies, the wine in the cellar must be shaken immediately. If it's not shaken, the wine stored will turn sour.
Quick remedy
The Italians believe that spilling wine at the dinner table can be easily remedied by dabbing a little of the spilled wine behind each ear!
We will probably never know whether or not the tales are true. But chances are the stories will become more believable with each glass of wine consumed! Three cheers to wine!
