A rather long list of sacred poetry containing wine as a theme (I'm not really sure where they draw the line between sacred and secular, but it's all there.)

I found this one there:

The Mysteries Remain

The mysteries remain,
I keep the same
cycle of seed-time
and of sun and rain;
Demeter in the grass,
I multiply,
renew and bless
Iacchus in the vine;
I hold the law,
I keep the mysteries true,
the first of these
to name the living, dead;
I am red wine and bread.

I keep the law,
I hold the mysteries true,
I am the vine,
the branches, you
and you.

Hilda Doolittle (This one does not appear in the book that I got last week)
