Locust Lane Grapes

In a move that would never happen here in the UK, the French Government has apparently approved plans to add wine tasting to university curriculums. According to a government report published in Decanter magazine, proposals have been submitted which detail how wine tasting sessions could be run in university canteens.

Those in favour of the idea have said that in moderation, wine tasting lessons can teach students to enjoy wine responsibly, appreciating its flavour and its place in national heritage. Those opposed to the scheme have said, in what would be the argument if someone proposed the idea here in England, that it will do nothing to prevent problems with binge drinking.
