- A glass of wine...served out of a window 🍷
In Florence, Italy there are tiny little windows built into the side of most noble palaces. And from these tiny windows, wine is served.
Affectionately known as "buchette del vino", Florence's wine windows date back to the 16th Century, and were a means for noble families to sell their wine directly to the public. Their usefulness, however, really became apparent during the Covid-19 pandemic, and doubled as a unique solution to minimizing contact and halting the spread of illness.
We explore the history and preservation of these wine windows, and how they are still used today. Watch as @JacobHarrell guides you through this story. 🚀

Will you be adding this window wine tasting experience to your travel bucket list? 👀🤭
Happy Autism Acceptance Month (APRIL!) Hope Great Big Story can celebrate!
FOR SURE
Wine windows aka medieval door dash
… get out 😂😂😂😂😂
I got lost about 200 times filming around the city for this one! 😅 Could have been the wine though I suppose... But what a city and great characters, thanks for sending me out to film here GBS!
Ease up on the drinks sir xD
So how many wine you have while filming this?
So glad you are back JH and GBS too!
Applause to passionate people like Matteo who preserve underappreciated traditions!
Me: I don't have a drinking problem.
16th Century Italian Nobles: We should have a system of holes across the city that will hand us a glass of wine whenever we want.
🤣
you sure better not drink the water!
This was wonderful, really makes me want to visit Florence and Tuscany!
We love that, you should! 🥹
If only Windows updates were like this...
One of the best channel on the internet. How I miss you for 2 yrs! Now my life is complete🎉

How to add charm to a place that’s already charming!
so glad to have this channel back!
Love you guys. So glad you’re back and bringing us really cool in-sites to culture like this.
You guys are back!!!! Congrats!!! 🎉
Great video. Wine windows are a novel little thing I hadn't ever heard about and the video is in the same style as your older videos (the better style, if I may).
A sunset walk along the river, a glass of wine from the hole in the wall, followed by a bistecca alla Fiorentina neraby. One of my favourite memories from Florence.
bro the title, I thought this was a tech video!
Umm, that is definitely not what we were going for 😂😆
Well the video did include window servers, running wine too. It’s old tech, not bad tech.
We were in Florence/Tuscany in May.I was on a wine tour as I love Italian food and especially the wine. I completely forgot about the windows! But it was a fantastic trip! If you can make the trip to Italy you must go! Bellissimo!
Nice and fresh editing guys! Love the vid
Great edit on this one, that masking was fire
Thank you for sharing this very interesting video
another great one!!

I do love me an Aperol spritz, and I have tried a limoncello spritz before as well and it's pretty good. But the Aperol will always be my primary go to drink. Oh...yes!
Watching during school lol, great video.
Love it!
Renaissance social distancing - who knew? Nonetheless, hooray for Jacob! Let's request more Jacob - kilt optional...
😅
Oh my guide pointed these out! She was a treasure when I went abroad summer of 2019.
Wow.. A local history 😍😍😍😍
Now I really wish I had check this out when I was in Florence last year
Brilliant
Adding this to my bucket list.
We love to see it 🥰🫶
MOLTO INTERESSante
that is awesome
That`s a great idea actually....
So cool
Yep there are a lot of them in Florence !
I like how despite the plague stalking the land, they weren't gonna stop drinking.
Neat.
How do you return the glass tho??
It is so sweet
My next trip is Europe
Wow
0:02 Why is the water flowing backwards?
Looks all delicious and amazing
Italians are very forward thinking
Wouldn't passing the dirty glass back through the window defeat the purpose during a pandemic?
beautiful, amazing city. if you needed a reason to go, here you are.
man its sad seeing gbs not even break 200k these days
0:01 why does this statue have cake
Hello.. I was looking for a video about a guy working on a video game ,(mostly but him self ) for a long time . I was wondering if it was this channel and if you could repost it
Maybe dwarf fortress and probably ars technica channel as well
it doesn't mean window, it means little mouth, like literally "Little Mouth of Wine" which is way better than window (which would be finestra)
Not exactly, "little mouth" would be "bocchetta", but this is "buchetta" or "little hole" (the words are related).
I though they were going to be free.
GBS Nice
🍷🪟🍷
Isn't it just a drive thru window?
It’s a walk thru window.
WOOO early
Do they ask for id before selling you the wine .do I have to carry my passport on me?
silly
