Wine Windows Remind Us Of The Need to Find Ways to Live with Contagious Organisms

An article in Decanter describers the return of wine windows....small windows in which drink was served to patrons during the times of the bubonic plague.  Now with COVID-19, there is a move to revive these wine windows.

Hopefully, this scourge. like the bubonic plague centuries ago, will pass.  But it is important that we learn how to live with it, because who knows whether the next contagion  will be right around the corner.  Or if it will be worse.   Hiding from it will only get us so far, but as we have seen with this virus, we can manage.  We need to accept the masks just as we accept wearing shoes or underwear.  Giving people some extra space is not a bad thing.  Minding our own health conditions with a nod towards staying home if not right is also good.   

A glass of Chianti please.
