The art of grape production and pressing raised humanity from the state of rudeness and led it to civilization, and even today the grape-producing peoples are considered more civilized, or at least they consider themselves, than the people without wine, such as the Cimmerians, which is really remarkable. Because it means that civilization is not a matter of reason and well-articulated sobriety, but on the contrary, it has to do with enthusiasm, intoxication and a refreshed feeling.

Hungarian

"A szőlőtermelés és a sajtolás művészete emelte ki az emberiséget a durvaság állapotából, s vezette a civilizációhoz, és még ma is civilizáltabbaknak számítanak, vagy legalábbis számítják magukat a szőlőtermelő népek, mint a bortalanok, például a kimmeriaiak, ami igazán figyelemre méltó. Mert azt jelenti, hogy a civilizáció nem értelem és szépen tagolt józanság kérdése, hanem ellenkezőleg, a lelkesedéshez van köze, a mámorhoz és az üdített érzéshez."
