When the bottle has just been opened, and when
it's giving out, drink deep;
be sparing when it's half-full; but it's useless
to spare the fag end.

Hesiod

At the beginning of a cask and at the end take your fill; in the middle be sparing.

Hesiod

Take your fill when the cask is first opened and when it is nearly spent, but midways be sparing: it is poor saving when you come to the lees.

Hesiod
