If Ideal Wine Company had any
doubts that France was the wine capital of the world, they were allayed this
week.
Ideal Wine Company Hails France, Wine-Making Capital of the World
As a provider of luxury wine,
naturally, we have a lot of French vintages on the Ideal Wine Company product
list. France is one of the oldest, most renowned viticulture centres in the
world. Bottles from the land of liberty, equality and fraternity, are beyond
compare.
It’s also said that the French
have always known how to live well; look at their devotion to wine, for
example. However, news this week has suggested that the French know how to die
well too, and once again, it’s all about wine.
You Die as You Lived, With a Glass of Wine!
So what are we talking about?
Well, according to Yahoo
Health, one French hospital has opened a wine bar for its terminally ill
patients. The thinking behind it seems to be that if your time is up, you might
as well die as you lived. With a sumptuously decadent glass of bubbly in your
hands.
Specifically, Central France’s Clermont-Ferrand
University Hospital has announced that it will soon open the wine bar for its
terminally ill patients. The bar will allow patients to indulge in medically
supervised tasting sessions with their friends and family.
Why Should We Deprive People of Wine?
The idea was conceptualised by Dr
Virgine Guastella, who has suggested that she did so to improve her patients’
quality of life in their final days. Dr Guastella will provide patients with
tasting sessions for local wines, whiskeys and champagnes.
Yahoo Health reported the
Guastella commented on the matter. The doctor said quite simply, "why
should we deprive people reaching the end of their lives of the traditional
flavours of our land?"
The French recognise that Wine is a Passion
The idea may seem odd, and we have
no doubt that it will offend some people, but Ideal Wine Company, we see its
merit. It’s not like Guastella is prompting terminally ill patients to down the
bottle. They will be medically supervised tastings; meaning no patient will be
allowed to consume more than they can handle.
This is why Ideal Wine Company
hails France as the capital of the wine-making world. They understand, just as
they always have, that for enthusiasts, wine is a passion. Why should people
give up that passion just because their days are numbered?
