We can list artists and philosophers from ancient times to the present who have been inspired by it and embarked upon its praise. In his work entitled The Philosophy of Wine the Hungarian writer Béla Hamvas declares that wine is a spiritual essence, which embodies order and harmony. Its consumption raises a man to a state of consciousness above and beyond the everyday. According to him, wine people are different from people that drink pálinka (a strong fruit brandy) - in their thoughts, emotions, their whole life style and even in their movements. Wine people are like Muses for whom drinking is a spiritual act; a ritual. Hungarians are also a Muse-like people. For Hungarians and the other peoples that live amongst them, wine holds a place of honor.
