Description

🍷 "Invignez-vous!" by Jacques Dupont – A Plea for Wine and the Freedom to Talk About It

France is globally recognized for its wine, a millennia-old tradition embedded at the heart of its gastronomic heritage. However, this pillar of French identity is undermined by the Evin Law, which prohibits any advertising or communication promoting the pleasure of wine. An astonishing paradox, as the wine industry represents the second inflow of foreign currency after aeronautics and that the French gourmet meal is ranked at UNESCO intangible cultural heritage.

In Get drunk !, Jacques Dupont addresses this contradiction and questions the foundations of a guilt-inducing ideology which seems to want to deny the wine culture in favor of sometimes excessive moralism.
