agree  scooty: I'd leave "sack" too. It refers to a quotation of Shakespeare's character, Falstaff.

agree  Alfredo Tutino: si potrebbe dire qualcosa come "(quello che Falstaff chiamava 'sack') - vedi ad esempio http://www.shaksper.net/archives/1994/0038.html

  -> certo! se proprio si vuole sottolineare la sfumatura del riferimento di"Falstaff"ma Umberto mette tra parentesi Falstaff's sack,quindi non é chiaro se nel testo che ha da tradurre,tale riferimento sia fondamentale o meno.Grazie!
