“Be happy and drink well” Of a beautiful ruby red color tending towards garnet.

Drinking together was one of the most important social forms in the Ancient Greek world. The symposium or symposium aggregation was aimed at a specific celebration of particular occasions: the convivial poems or poems were intended to be recited in the final moment of the banquet, which represented a generator of collective gratification. Most forms of entertainment derived from the drinking itself following the symposium ethos of drinking moderation. An inscription on a drinking cup from the 5th century aC thus invited the guests: "Be happy and drink well". The sympathetic poetry increased the pleasures of the banquet and the diners drank according to the prescriptions of the symposiarch, who decided the pouring of the wine in the right doses and according to the importance of the guest: to do honor to the table it was necessary to drink sparingly and then to weave intellectual conversations .
