The origins of summer happiness: rosé wine, a French passion born with the paid holidays of 1936

Let’s set the scene first. A village square, preferably Provençal and sheltered by the plane trees, the traditional game of pétanque which ends or continues with the no less traditional aperitif. This scene, millions of French people will perpetuate it this summer in bistros, campsites or terraces, with this sacrosanct convivial moment. As a marker of a successful vacation.
