Favorite Wine Quotes and Memes

Over the years, I’ve had a lot of fun collecting wine quotes and wine memes. Today I thought I would share some of my favorites. I’m guessing that some of these will be on all of our favorite lists, while others will be new. I’m also guessing that you have some that I’ve never seen. I would love for you to share those with all of us.

Favorite Wine Memes

On the meme front, I probably find one or two wine memes every week that make me laugh out loud. I would need to write a book to share all of the memes I’ve collected. So I will share just two of my favorites here. Please share your favorites, so that I can add to my collection. I will also point you to Zazzle, a WINEderful website where you can buy all kinds of incredible meme-ified goodies, including coffee mugs, bags and magnets.
