A sweetheart is a bottle of wine, a wife is a wine bottle.

Summary

This quote humorously compares the roles of a sweetheart and a wife by using the analogy of a bottle of wine. The "sweetheart" is likened to a bottle of wine, symbolizing the excitement and pleasure experienced in a romantic relationship - something enjoyable and exciting. On the other hand, the "wife" is compared to a wine bottle, suggesting a more stable and enduring partnership. It implies that while a sweetheart brings temporary delight, a wife represents a commitment and deeper level of connection found in a long-term relationship.
