Note: I am really busy at the moment and I drown in Latin tests and 
questions every day. Because of that, I am sometimes not able to

small donation will be answered, and answered quickly.

Connoisseurs of wine
Claudius vina e Graecia importat; sine dubio vina bona sunt.
Itaque interdum amicos invitat; hodie quoque amici Claudium visitant.
Deos sacrificio placant; tum vino bono et multis iocis gaudent.
Claudius Epicharmo et Demarato narrat: "Magna diligentia vina
Graeca curo, quod bona sunt. Sed etiam vina Romana amo;
imprimis Falernum (vinum) cetera vina elegantia superat. Ecce!
Hodie vos Falerno delecto!" Cuncti scientiam Claudii laudant,
vino bono gaudent.
