Wine culture
A major topic of Greek ethics was pleasure, and particularly whether or not pleasure was to be regarded as the
highest goal. And if it was, then one naturally had to ask what kind of pleasure was an appropriate aim, for
few were prepared to affirm that pleasures associated with the basest of acts were ever worthy of pursuit. ...
Furthermore, the pleasurable life would be assumed by the majority of Greek males to involve symposia, at
which fine food, pleasant drink, and entertainment of a sexual nature would all be present. These social
occasions, where friends gathered together, and, unlike Polyphemus, had nothing to fear from others present,
were the appropriate place for exploiting the pleasures of wine while minimizing the risks.
The very word ‘symposium’ implied social drinking, and the drink concerned was wine: usually mixed with what
was held to be the appropriate quantity of water in a large broad vessel known as a krater, often decorated with
scenes of revelry. ...the tendency to see friends as extensions of oneself naturally led to a concern for their happiness,
leading to a willingness to share those things that best made one happy – and in this context the sharing of wine at
symposia became natural, while gifts of wine were also favored by those rich enough to be giving it.
Pliny the Elder is the source of the
quoted statement "In wine, there is truth." Most people interpret this as meaning that wine causes people to tell
truths that they censor when they are sober, but it can also be interpreted much more broadly. Drinking wine frees
up the mind from all sorts of social, cultural, and political censors in a way that may help us to see insights, make
connections, and recognize truths that might have otherwise remained hidden to us.
People open the wine packaging, enjoy the party with friends, what a nice day.
