There is also rather close relation between wine and ancient Chinese literayure.
Ou Yangxiu became most well-known for his sentence “the drinker's heart is not in the cup.”
Many other literary giants such as Su Dongpo, Tao Yuanming were also bibbers. And as an outstanding drinker, Bai Juyi was famous not only for his large drinking capacity but also for his super skills of making wine.
There are many nice poems related to wine, forexample, “when drinking with a good friend, a thousand cups will still be too little.”
