Don’t look at the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly.

ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૨૩:૩૧
જ્યારે દ્રાક્ષારસ લાલ હોય, જ્યારે તે પ્યાલામાં પોતાનો રંગ પ્રકાશતો હોય અને જ્યારે તે સરળતાથી પેટમાં ઊતરતો હોય, ત્યારે તે પર દૃષ્ટિ ન કર.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २३:३१
जब दाखमधु लाल दिखाई देता है, और कटोरे में उसका सुन्दर रंग होता है, और जब वह धार के साथ उण्डेला जाता है, तब उसको न देखना। (इफिसियों 5:18)

In context

29Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?

30Those who stay long at the wine; those who go to seek out mixed wine.

31Don’t look at the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly.

32In the end, it bites like a snake, and poisons like a viper.

33Your eyes will see strange things, and your mind will imagine confusing things.
