Damn I wish my parents were this cool
This some sort of clean water concern?
Yeah, if you don't hydrate and get enough electrolytes and wine you lose the ability to be a snobby french. Happened to my cousin.
As you’re clearly an expert, is there a cig ration?
3 per day, minimum. Tho ideally you should hit 7.
This daily cig ration increases in an easterly direction. Romanian models receive about 18 per day.
That's why you should drink Glucozade Port!
I know this argument for the middle ages but not the 1950s! I wasn't alive in either so what do I know
Having now read the article, there is no mention of illness concern, only “acclimating” the kids to wine
And in the Middle Ages they’d be drinking small beer, which is 0.5-3%.
No, just French.
Maybe they banned the practice to discourage watering wine.
