Hungarian term or phrase: Aki vizet tesz a borba, azt a guta üsse orrba!
Van itt valaki költői vénával? Ez egy fröccsellenes mondás (apparently), rímelnie kéne, meg minden. Ha nem, akkor kikerül a szövegből. És ez nem fenyegetés!

Próbálkozások:

Those diluting wine with water,
Be walled in by brick and mortar!

One who dilutes wine,
Deserves a broken spine!

Shame on you and your daughter
If you dilute wine with water

Water in the wine is a shame
The spitzer-inventor is to blame

Mostmár leállok, dolgoznom is kell...

agree  Leslie Gabor (X): Katalin, you're a poet; And I bet you didn't know it. Ha már itt tartunk, esetleg az orral kapcsolatban - Diluters of wine with water, heaven knows; All deserve a massive punch in the nose.
