Water Tasting like WinePliny (ii. 103) tells us of a fountain in the Isle of Andros, in the temple of Bacchus, which every year, on January 5th, tasted like wine. Baccius de Thermis (vi. 22) gives numerous examples of similar
vinous springs. In Lanternland there was a fountain in the middle of
the temple, the water of which had the flavour of the wine which the
drinker most liked. ( Source: Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, E. Cobham Brewer, 1894 More on Water Tasting like Wine from Infoplease:
