According to Mayfair Hospitality, Est! Est!! Est!!! is the name of a famous Italian white wine, but the phrase comes from an old story told in Italy about a German bishop on his travels. “He directed a boy to travel ahead and scout the places that had good wine, writing “Est!” (Italian for “There is!”) on the walls of inns that served good wine,” Mayfair Hospitality explained. “When the scout arrived in Montefiascone, where Est! Est!! Est!!! is made, he found the wine to be so good that he wrote “Est! Est!! Est!!!””
