In Italy we have the same saying: "Sono come il vino buono, invecchiando miglioro". ;-)

Google translation is always so good :D "Ils sont comme le bon vin, le vieillissement mieux"

Yeah, actually we have also a variant which is more similar to yours: "Sono come il vino buono, più invecchio più divento buono".

what's cool with italian is that I understand 2/3 of it when reading with a bit of french & latin, the rest is left to my interpretation :D

yeah, that's "isomorphic". I understand 2/3 of french when reading with a bit of italian & latin. :-D

and I have no idea wtf you're talking about

you speak about old people ageing like stinking cheese, I speak about senior people ageing like good wine ;)

I understood every word in this thread from just my French, exposure to foreign background sounds, context, and the German word for cheese.
