Abstract
Much of the world’s poetry contains discussion about wine. Poets of
different languages have symbolically used wine in their poetry. It is presented
as a source of ecstasy or as an escape from the worldly affairs, a cure for pain
and a link with the creator. In a way poetry world over is somehow associated
with enchan ng effects of wine. A large number of classical and modern Persian poets have recurrently referred to liquor, wineglass, intoxica on and taverns as symbols.
