"Wine is poetry in a bottle."
Translation:Le vin, c'est de la poésie en bouteille.

(not native French speaker but...) "la poesie" would translate as "wine is the poetry in a bottle" which doesn't sound right, partitif is natural choice here: "wine is (like some) poetry in a bottle".
I think one could say "le vin est une poésie en bouteille", "wine is a poem in a bottle", or especially "ce vin..." to praise some specific wine.
