Both to the rich and poor, wine is the happy antidote for sorrow.

Euripides
Wine, Sorrow, Rich

Young man, two are the forces most precious to mankind. The first is Demeter, the Goddess. She is the Earth -- or any name you wish to call her -- and she sustains humanity with solid food. Next came Dionysus, the son of the virgin, bringing the counterpart to bread: wine and the blessings of life's flowing juices. His blood, the blood of the grape, lightens the burden of our mortal misery. Though himself a God, it is his blood we pour out to offer thanks to the Gods. And through him, we are blessed.

Euripides
Blessed, Wine, Son

Wine is a terrible foe, hard to wrestle with.

Euripides
Wine, Terrible, Foe
Euripides (2013). “Delphi Complete Works of Euripides (Illustrated)”, p.924, Delphi Classics

Mankind . . . possesses two supreme blessings. First of these is the goddess Demeter, or Earth whichever name you choose to call her by. It was she who gave to man his nourishment of grain. But after her there came the son of Semele, who matched her present by inventing liquid wine as his gift to man. For filled with that good gift, suffering mankind forgets its grief; from it comes sleep; with it oblivion of the troubles of the day. There is no other medicine for misery.

Euripides
Grief, Wine, Sleep
Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides (1958). “The complete Greek tragedies”
