“Wine is divine”

“Wine is divine” is a wine saying that has been printed on many images. “Wine is divine” was printed in The New Northwest (Portland, OR) on July 31, 1874.
 
“Candy is dandy, but wine is divine” is an extension of the saying.
 
       
31 July 1874, The New Northwest (Portland, OR), pg. 3, col. 6:
... and if I shall succeed in saving even one from the delusion that “wine is divine,” the snare so skillfully set for the unwary, I shall feel amply repaid for my labors.

“The good Patriarch Noah was so disgusted with water and objected to its use hence the Lord gave him the grape to produce wine to quench his thirst; hence wine is divine.”
 
15 February 1966, The Oregonian (Portland, OR), “Wine Tasting On Calendar,” sec. 2, pg. 4, col. 4:
Five samples of wine will be presented by Garnarino, Arighi, Marracci & Co. for the “Sipping Wine is Divine” program.

Don’t drink wine quickly; drunk gently with food, wine is divine.
   
27 August 1980, Washington (DC) Star, “Listening to Your Conscience Can Help You Feel Fine Over 40,” fashion sec., pg. 7, col. 1:
Wine is divine and brandy is dandy. But, please no more than two drinks a day.
