Italy's Wine Windows Are Back

Medieval “Wine Windows” in Florence Are Finding New Uses During COVID-19
Apparently rich Italians with their own vineyards would sell their wines directly to customers through a tiny window in the wall.
But in the 1630s, the wine windows really found their use due to the Black Death. It was an efficient & safe way to sell wine and hopefully not catch the literal plague. Social distancing at it's finest!
There's even a cultural association called Buchette Del Vino that maps them all out!
But the real big news is that the wine windows have been recommissioned due to Covid-19! What's more to like?
SAFE & CUTE!
