This is the title of a documentary about wine. I'm having translator's block right now, and can only think of "Let's Toast". I'm looking for more creative ones. Please feel free to throw in your suggestions.

Weiwei: I do not think \"toast\" is good here for the title because this program is discussing, introducing and talking about wine.

Take a gulp of delicious wine
It is not for a banquet, is it?

Thanks! Yes,"sip" can do also. But it may be too "small". "來一口葡萄美酒"应该有些英雄好汉的气概。：—）

Let's raise a glass together
Along the line of "Let's toast" :-)
or "We'll Take a Glass Together". It's a song title from the musical "Grand Hotel". Love the song.
