un poco más autóctono es como Paco Stanley recitando "el vino" jajaja creo, mi estimado, que le reste lo dulce a tu post.

No en vano el Rey le concedió el privilegio de beberse un tonel diario, sacado de las reservas reales.

Amigo: es excelente saber esa clase de cosas. ¿Estará en Chesterton, por cierto?

Dos pasajes en los que Chesterton habla de la relación entre Chaucer y el vino:

"Now Chaucer came of a line of men that did deal directly with wine-barrels. They dealt as masters and not as servants, at least in the last two generations. But they dealt with a wine-barrel and not with a wine-list; with facts and not merely with figures. For them was natural magic and the world's desire stored in positive pots; solid as those that poured for Christ the incredible wine." (p. 73).

"His real period of wealth, public importance and (it is fair to add) public industry, stretches from that St. George's Day in 1374, when the great English poet received from the English King the highly symbolic pitcher of wine (which he afterwards turned into a pension), right away past the death of King Edward in 1377 to the time of the revolt of Gloucester in the councils of his grandson." (p.102).
