There is a storm over the words that the writer Antonella Boralevi uttered during the Tg2 while commenting on the end of Vinitaly, the Italian fair dedicated to wine.

While commenting on the success of the fair, Alessandro Scorsone stated: “Wine is poetry. Especially for those who really love it and who know how to spread it with love and not just people. Wine is also an extraordinary way to get to know people and above all to win them over, which is why women always like it when a glass of wine is served.”

At this point, therefore, the writer Antonella Boralevi intervened and declared: “On the topic of women, perhaps it is better to look things in the face a little. We women have done many things, we have achieved many things, but there is something inside us, I fear it is genetic. We never feel up to it, because a woman always has to fight with a part of herself for which she doesn't feel up to it.”

“Women don't feel up to it and drink to give themselves a boost.
Never drink alone”

The author then continued: “What is the theme? That women often drink like they used to smoke a cigarette, that is, they drink to tone themselves up. That's fine, but we don't need a glass of wine to know that we are people of value like you men. And above all a glass, a small dose, never drink alone at home.”

Words that obviously did not go unnoticed on the web and which quickly raised a real fuss.
