Could somebody explain me the sentence. I can't catch it...

Is it correct in English?

Hi ss230467,

Could you explain the meaning of your sentence? or perhaps provide more context? It's quite difficult to understand.

Really? I find it a beautiful, poetic way to describe wine (take sunlight, add water to keep it together and there you are).

Yes! It is the water that helds the sunlight together, so it is being held together by water. Sunlight itself would be too light and fly away.

It is a qoute by Galileo Galilei, and poetically describes wine the way he saw it. Something fantastic, the light from the sun caught in a bottle and kept there by water.

Aneta, is that clear enough for you to do the translation?

Yes, it is, Lilly! Thank you to all of you for the explanation... I probably haven't got so fertile imagination as Lein does, but I really can understand what she thinks...

I'll do it in a moment!

It is beautiful metaphor indeed. I have been thinking in the right direction before, but couldn't believe somebody could think about a wine in this way!!!
