Literary analysis:
In a few instances, writers extend the image of wine beyond its role as a libation to evoke a richly hued, deep red tone that carries layers of passion and complexity. Although most references to wine in literature focus on its taste and social symbolism, select passages employ its chromatic qualities as a metaphor for emotional depth and beauty. For example, in one passage the “precious wine” becomes a symbol of something once pure that has been spoiled [1], while in another the exhilaration of love is likened to the intoxicating, vivid glow of wine [2]. In these cases the color of wine—its warm, luscious red—serves not merely to describe a beverage but to suggest an inner vibrancy and bittersweet quality that enriches the narrative’s emotional landscape.
  1. [Pg 126] The lover who loves not the highest love, Is like a fool polluting precious wine.
    — from The Evolution of Love by Emil Lucka
  2. She is so shy, this little love of mine, So pale and pure, almost I fear to speak The love that thrills my every pulse like wine
    — from The Path of Dreams Poems by Leigh Gordon Giltner

This tab, the new OneLook "color thesaurus", is a work in progress. It draws from a data set of more than 2000 color names gathered from sources around the Web, and an analysis of how they are referenced in English texts. Some words, like "peach", function as both a color name and an object; when you do a search for words like these, you will see both of the above sections.
