Don’t look at the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly.

Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'Do not look at wine when it is red... in the end it bites like a serpent' grounds the prohibition 'Do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation (asotia).' Coherence with the wisdom warning against drunkenness is strong; medium volume.
Medium confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'It is good not to eat meat, drink wine...' (14:21) — the renunciation of wine for the sake of another — has a faint sapiential backdrop in wisdom warnings about wine (Proverbs 23:31, 'do not look at wine when it is red'). Here, however, abstinence is for the brother's sake, not self-discipline; the link is thematic and weak.
