SEPTEMBER IS JOY AND WORK Pour me some September wine, I want to recall the songs It is difficult to describe the autumn celebration during harvest time, the slender legs of girls trampling fruit in barrels and songs sung in celebration of grapes or wine. You have to experience that in Serbia for yourself B ack in the 13 th century, during the time of Stefan Nemanja's successors, the Kingdom of Serbia had a law that referred to the prepa- ration and quality of wine. Even the Char- ter of Stefan the First-Crowned contains re- cords showing that Tzar Dušan had large vineyards and a royal wine cellar in the vicinity of Prizren. The same charter also records the meaning and significance of the wine goblet in medieval Serbia. The wine goblet repre- sented an invitation for discussion and agreement, and drinking wine from the goblet meant an oath, a warn- ing, a promise… There are many historical tales and legends from ancient times, but the 19 th century is still remembered
