I photographed a beautiful stencil of this quote on a building near Marksburg Castle in Germany. I want to frame it and give it as a gift. Before I do that, I would like to know the correct Latin to English translation. I understand the first phrase, so it is the second one that I really need help with... Thanks!

The nearest I can come up with is this: "In wine there is truth. Is it not (Nune) wine (vino) that drives way (pellite) the pain (curas)?"

I guess it should read:
In vino veritas. Nunc vino pellite curas.
In wine is (lies) the truth. Now drive away the (your) sorrows with wine.
