I'm particularly fond of this entry in his "Devil's Dictionary":

Point, n. A unit of measurement used by critics to indicate the degree
to which a Bordeaux resembles a California cabernet, a Burgundy
resembles a Rhône, a Rhône resembles a shiraz, and a shiraz resembles
crude oil.

And love his "Beer, n. A beverage essential to the production of wine."

Very apt for Oz winemakers.

The rest of the DD is also extremely witty.

Cheers!
