If you think you love wine as much as we do, then give us a like and a follow anywhere you get your pods. What is your perspective about the younger generation with wine? Because in my opinion, what I see is that the younger generation, they are not very, let's say, fond of wine in general. The young generation to put the wine in the young table. So the future is the next generation of the winemakers. How can we get the younger generation to drink more wine, be more interested in wine. What can we do? And maybe to start to travel, maybe with some girlfriend, to find and discover the winery and the small winery all around Italy. Starts from Italy, and then go outside. Where do you live? I'm from Palermo. So listen, tell us to our audience, going to Palermo for the first time, the younger generation. What is kind of the favorite bar that they can go to and favorite food place. Just one and one. One and one. For food, Feramenta, in the historical center of Palamo, one of the biggest of Europe. And for Bar, I think it's Magini Ranta, and one of the best mixology and one list in Parerno. So that's my choice. Okay. Great. That's it for now. Signing off. Unless you will be very proud of you.
