A summer to savour
Here, we present a brief guide to cultivating “Il dolce far niente” with style. These options will delight those who wish to refresh body and mind without leaving the sofa... or putting down the glass. Are you ready to discover them?
Summer is synonymous with holidays, relaxation, terraces... and guilt-free pleasures. We won't judge if your only marathon is a series binge, or if your idea of adventure is opening a bottle of something you've yet to try; the important thing is to enjoy yourself. And if it's with a glass in hand, fan on full blast, and a good story (liquid, visual, or literary), all the better.
For afternoons on the sofa with air conditioning and a glass in hand
Drops of God. Series on Apple TV+
An exhilarating 8-episode series inspired by the manga of the same name, a visual and emotional gem. Rivalry, wine inheritances, and bottles that seem to have a soul of their own. Perfect for those who believe a wine can change your life... or at least your summer afternoons. Aesthetically impeccable.
For reading under the parasol or on a terrace with vermouth
The Drunken Botanist. Book by Amy Stewart
Do you know what's in what you're drinking? This book is a botanical marvel that reveals the vegetal (and original!) side of beverages. Ideal if you're fascinated by gin, rum, mezcal... and nature. With recipes and tips included, blending science and laughter, you'll want to try everything!
For summer nights at home (with a light dinner and candles lit)
Druk. Film by Thomas Vinterberg
This multi-award-winning Danish film is an emotional (and alcoholic) journey about the lives of four teachers who decide to investigate the theory that maintaining a constant blood alcohol level improves their performance and mood. The film explores with humour and seriousness how alcohol becomes a way to rediscover life, but also a dilemma and a reason for deep reflection. A fun and moving toast to life.
To taste and learn without leaving the fan

Angel’s Share. Film by Ken Loach
A British film that follows a group of young people who, after a minor offence, end up in a rehabilitation programme where a man guides them into the world of whisky.
