I don’t think you realize how much labor and arable land goes into wine making. It also creates a lot of alcoholics. When the normal culture in vast regions of the country is to drink 6 liters of wine per day (yes one person) you have a problem. One way to fix it is to incentivize people to stop hoarding hectoliters of wine in their basements. My grandpa stopped making wine 5 or os years ago and still has about 1,000 liters of inventory. Now that he drinks less it’s almost def gonna last him for as long as he stays kicking. How’s that for broken window? |

Can you hear the sloshing as people walk? Do you have to salt the wine to avoid a nationwide epidemic of hyponatremia? Do people actually eat food, or do they just get all their dietary calories from sweeter wines?
Six liters? What the hell? I might have had 750mL of wine total so far this year. How do you even... What do you... No, I literally cannot fathom the depths of this aspect of Slovenian culture.
This has to be an exaggeration, so let's check.... "Slovenians drink on average almost 100L of beer per year." "Economic improvement in Slovenia leads to increased sales of alcoholic beverages." "Slovenia ranks 5th in alcohol consumption in EU." "...between 10.3 and 13.5L of pure alcohol per year." "Slovenia: Could a Country Be Addicted to Alcohol?" "According to official data, every fifth man and every 25th woman in the country is an alcoholic."
The alcoholism rate in the US is maybe 5% to 5.5%. I think it's safe to say I don't understand the problem. At least you're not Estonia, I guess.
