"And when I die and go before the Maker to account for my sins, which have been scarlet, I shall say to him 'Lord, I don't remember the name of the girl, or even the name of the town. But the wine, my God, was Chambertin!'"
Although not technically a toast, another also stuck in my mind - and this one I do use. Often.
The story goes of a dinner party where, afterwards, a Stilton and a decanter of Port are presented. The wine goes around from one man to the next until one gentleman, an ardent and vociferous teetotaler, is offered the decanter. He looks sternly at the man offering the flagon and says in a loud voice, "Sir, I would rather commit adultery than drink a glass of port!" There's a stunned silence at this breach of etiquette, until finally the host says, "Well sir, I think any of us would."
Know any good ones yourself? I'm looking to expand my repertoire
