oskar hansen - Wine Story

An Abridged Story of Wine br The bottom of the nave used to be a lake's bed, but one night, br when moon was white as search light and the sky maroon, br the lake vanished. Dead fish and toenail clippings at the bottom, br but the soil was rich, and the people who used to fish for a living, br planted vine which bore healthy grapes, but grapes fermented br and wine was discovered. A drink that made them merry, they br sang, slapped flat stones together and made music. br But if drinking too much they ended fighting and used stones as br missiles, and given to arguing about the quality of snow that fell br the year before. In clay pots they sold red wine and became rich, br till Moslems came, forbad the making of wine, they planted pale br yellow orange trees instead. But the juice of sweet blue grapes br has an unstoppable allure it fills heart with music, the production br was moved to hidden dells in Alentejo. When Arabs, defeated by br Christian hordes, fled; Iberia had abundance of red wine but also br sugary orange juice.
