This month, WineShop At Home released a new label called Infinite Wisdom. The label is beautiful and has an incredible quote by Audrey Hepburn: “For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.” In this article, we’ll explore the connection between Audrey Hepburn, famous for her roles in Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and 29 other movies, and wine.
About Audrey Hepburn
According to Wikipedia, “Audrey Hepburn was a British actress and humanitarian. Recognized as both a film and fashion icon, she was ranked by the American Film Institute as the third-greatest female screen legend from the Golden Age of Hollywood and was inducted into the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame.” She was also included in Empire magazine’s “The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time”.
Hepburn started her career in dance and as a model. She then became an actress. Finally, in 1988, she became a special ambassador to the United Nations UNICEF fund helping children in Latin America and Africa, a position she retained until 1993, the year she died. She died at 63 from appendicular cancer.
Hepburn and Infinite Wisdom Wine
According to her first husband, Hepburn “was very careful about her diet, did not drink alcohol except an occasional glass of wine with dinner, and avoided desserts. She chose her diet as a dancer would: plenty of protein and lots of vegetables and salads. She ate sparingly and rarely splurged.” As she got older, she enjoyed J&B Scotch.
So why did we include a quote of hers on our newest wine label? Well, one of her sons said that every day ended with chocolate because, according to Hepburn, chocolate “helped banish sadness.” That gets us closer to a reason for including her quote on our new label. But I think the biggest reason is the quote is beautiful, our new label is beautiful, and the wine inside the bottles is beautiful. The quote is definitely infinite wisdom.
