בבא מציעא עג

In response to חסידים debating the qualities of different wines at a שבת kiddish, the Rebba told them: in פרשת ויגש, we are informed that יוסף sent his father מטוב מצרים. But note that the תורה does not say that he sent them wine. The reason, he said, is because, as stated in Kereisos 6b, הדיבור רע ליין. Wine is meant to be savored and enjoyed, not debated.
