In Vino Veritas - Astrid Friedrich

The Latin expression In vino veritas, litteraly translates as "in wine, truth" more precisely it suggests that in wine we find truth. Losely this suggests that a person under the influence of alcohol is more likely to speak their hidden thoughts and desires. The phrase is sometimes continued as, "In vino veritas, in aqua sanitas", that is "In wine there is truth, in water there is health." Similar phrases exist across cultures and languages.
