stories associated with wine.

[brook]

I would like to give some fine white wines ( possibly chardonnay, a favorite) as a wedding gift to a friend and have heard that some wines, particularly famous ones, have meanings affiliated with them. Therefore, I am looking for stories associated with white wines; something about eternal love, for example, would be perfect. Although I have looked in all our literature about wine, there was no mention about such stories. Does anyone know of any symbolic meanings attached to any white wines or know of any books or other resources where I could look this up? Thank you!

Hello Brook,
I've moved your tread to the food and wine board will it will get more attention.
All the best.

also try looking at "the history of food" and "a brief history of wine." They are quite interesting books.
