What this phrase means? - Quote from Patricia Cornwell
"Wine has never known a good year at academy"
It is translated in my language as: A good Wine could never been found in the academy.
I am wondering if this phrase is dealing the Wine as someone that have thoughts just for a moment to say the same thing as the translation, is that right? Can I say for example: "A machine gun has never known a good year on the maximum security prison. " with the same context of saying that never the prison has found a machine gun among the prisoners, for example?
