2 great ways to enjoy free wine

Enjoy Free Wine with These 2 Great Tips

1) Wall Street Pigalle: Free Bottle of Wine for Three Girls

If you're a fan of trying out Parisian bars with unique concepts, you might have come across places that mimic the stock market's ups and downs in pricing. Wall Street Pigalle is one such bar, and while it embraces this stock market-inspired concept, it has more to offer than just fluctuating prices.

At Wall Street Pigalle, the appeal lies not only in the dynamic pricing but also in its menu featuring tempting dishes and tapas (the raclette burger is a standout) and its themed nights. On Thursdays, the bar hosts a "Ladies Night": when three girls arrive together, they get a free bottle of wine. So, if you’re looking for a way to enjoy some free wine, this is your cue!

2) Italy: A Wine Fountain in the Streets

For something truly unusual, leave the dimly lit bars of Paris behind and head to Italy, specifically the Abruzzo region. In October, the small town of Caldari di Ortona unveiled a giant fountain where wine flows freely 24/7.

If you're in the area, make sure to stop by and experience this remarkable attraction. Simply step into the enormous barrel, grab a glass, and let the fountain fill it up with wine.
