By unanimous decree, the executive committee of the Wine Century Club has approved The Official and Sacred Oath of The Wine Century Club. All members are to recite it upon receiving their certificate or when using public transportation.
The Sacred Oath of the Wine Century Club
I Promise to honor the ways of Bacchus
God of wine, agriculture and madness
But to go easy on the madness
So as not to end up
Shouting at the walls
In a cheap motel
Outside of Poughkeepsie*
*For those outside of New York, Poughkeepsie is pronounced puh-kip-see
