Buongiorno,
avrei bisogno di aiuto nella resa in inglese di questa espressione. E' inserita all'interno di un testo relativo a dei vini e alle loro peculiarità (una brochuere).
Dal contesto, sembrerebbe doversi intendere come 'coccolarsi, quindi non 'to love each other, ma piuttosto 'to treat oneself'. Qualcuno può aiutarmi?
grazie mille

A good wine is one of life's simple pleasures
Or something along those lines, around the idea of "simple pleasures". But straying a bit far from the ITA :-)
