This List of Wine Puns is a Real Corker
The relationship between wine and wit has long been a topic of discussion among writers and philosophers. Ralph Waldo Emerson said “a man will be eloquent if you give him good wine.” Samuel Johnson had a different take: “Wine makes a man better pleased with himself. I do not say that it makes him more pleasing to others.”
We don’t know whether wine makes you more witty, or just makes you feel more witty. What we do know is that it makes for some good puns. The following list of wine puns illustrates many of the intoxicating possibilities for clever wordplay. Pour yourself a nice glass of vino and drink it all in.
