Wine, working the land, selling its fruits are gifts from God, pope says

“Wine, the land, farming skills and entrepreneurial activity are gifts from God,” the Pope Francis told winegrowers, winemakers and others taking part in an international wine and spirits exhibition in Verona, Italy. The event was dedicated to Italian wine and “the economy of Francesco,” an economy inspired by St. Francis of Assisi that respects the earth and promotes peace and justice.
