Summary
This quote suggests that individuals in positions of power or authority, referred to as "lords," often exhibit their most dominant and assertive behavior when they are under the influence of alcohol. It implies that their true nature and characteristics are most apparent when they indulge in the consumption of wine. This could be interpreted as a warning about the potential dangers of alcohol and how it can bring out both the best and worst qualities in people, especially those who hold positions of authority.
