A quotation from The Bible

Wine is very life to humans
   if taken in moderation.
What is life to one who is without wine?
   It has been created to make people happy.
Wine drunk at the proper time and in moderation
   is rejoicing of heart and gladness of soul.
   
[ἔφισον ζωῆς οἶνος ἀνθρώποις,
   ἐὰν πίνῃς αὐτὸν ἐν μέτρῳ αὐτοῦ.
τίς ζωὴ ἐλασσουμένῳ οἴνῳ;
   καὶ αὐτὸς ἔκτισται εἰς εὐφροσύνην ἀνθρώποις.
ἀγαλλίαμα καρδίας καὶ εὐφροσύνη ψυχῆς
   οἶνος πινόμενος ἐν καιρῷ αὐτάρκης·]

The Bible (The Old Testament) (14th - 2nd C BC) Judeo-Christian sacred scripture [Tanakh, Hebrew Bible], incl. the Apocrypha (Deuterocanonicals)
Book 22b. Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 31:27ff (Sir 31:27–28) [tr. NRSV (2021 ed.)]
