I am writing something that is discussing Italian wine.
At the end I want to say something in Italian like: Enjoy!
Any ideas?

1. Italians speak Italian. |
|
And some others. At the end, say, "Salut!"

I don't think that's Italian, though. I used to date an Italian woman. Her dad made great wine. And never pronounce it "eye-talilan."

26. You need to say "Salute!"... That is what you need... |

Edited on Mon Jun-06-05 11:37 PM by valis
"Forza: has nothing to do with it... Note that it is spelled with an "e" at the end.

28. Thank you thank you thank you! |

This is going on a commercial wine label actually. So I really appreciate it. I thought Salute might be OK, but not speaking the language, I was not sure if it was an actual Italian colloquial phrase. Or just an Americanism.
