醉心匈牙利酒之際，翻開酒書，讀到以下節錄：
Ancient Persians declared that wine is the king of medicines, the beautifier of man's face. Experts agree that this is true of Tokaj wines.
...
To preserve the queen's health, Maria Therese's doctor, Dr. Swieten, prescribed a daily dose of Tokaj, and the ruler also shared it with her parrot. Károly Lübeck, a 19th century doctor, believed that Tokaj wine increases the appetite, assists digestion, and helps with fevers.
...
Dr. Barna Keletnei, professor at the Debrecen Medical University Pharmaceutical Institute, has completed research using Eszencia as a cure for nervous disorders and stimulation of sex hormones. The ancients already knew about the nectar's powers as an aphrodisiac.
