FAIRY TALE

Following a very good and successfull grape harvests, Persian King Jamshid ordered to put all grapes into jars and to write on top of them:

POISON

so the precious grapes would not be stolen.
However being too much preoccupied with foreign affairs and economic crisis in his kingdom, he completely forgets about the jars containing grapes of the last harvest.
At the same time the most pretty houri of his harem, being jealous for the king after
loosing his favors and feeling that he does not love her any longer, takes the most dramatic decision:

she wants to commit suicide.

Now therefore, she drunk the fermented juice, from one of the jars. Juice which she
believed was supposed to be poison.
But to her bigggest surpize instead of dying, she became happy, full of positive energy
as well as optimism....
As soon as the king was informed about such development, as well as he found the same reactions in himself, he again offered his favors to the pretty houri.
They simply became a truly happy couple again.
Since that time the wine is not any longer called the poison, but provides happiness
and love to all of us.
The wine opens all hearts to love... but bourgogne specifically.
