Benedetta: | Ti svelo una curiosità che ti lascerà sbalordito. Forse saprai che Italia e Francia ogni anno si contendono il titolo di maggior produttore di vini al mondo… |
Stefano: | Certo che lo so! |
Benedetta: | Un anno vincono i francesi e l’anno successivo gli abitanti dello Stivale. Tutto, ovviamente, dipende dai fattori climatici. |
Stefano: | Ed era questa la notizia che avrebbe dovuto stupirmi? |
Benedetta: | Aspetta! Non ho mica finito! Sebbene produca ogni anno milioni di ettolitri di vino, la nostra penisola si piazza ultima in un'altra classifica. |
Stefano: | Quale? |
Benedetta: | È il paese che consuma meno alcolici tra i paesi dell’OCSE, l’Organizzazione per la cooperazione e lo sviluppo economico. |
Stefano: | Agli italiani, quindi, non piace alzare il gomito? |
