France is globally recognised for its long wine history, which dates back to the 7th century BC (when the first Greek trading posts were established on the Southern shores). Today, wine undoubtedly remains an integral part of French culture, the latter having been heavily influenced by wine’s cultivation throughout the ages, such that France is known as ‘The country of wine’. Today, France has no less than 85,000 wineries, the vast majority of which consist of small winemakers who sell directly to local private clients, while not having the infrastructure to sell internationally. With this knowledge, Thomas Mangin - winemaker in Roussillon - and Adrien Niclot - China-based sommelier - decided to bring several winemakers together and launch the concept of ‘Soir d’Ivresse’. By gathering these winemakers’ productions under one label ‘Soir d’Ivresse’, this union aims to create a link between international wine lovers and those small French winemakers. The French poetic name ‘Soir d’Ivresse’ recalls the first evening when this group of winemakers decided to launch their common project to promote their wines.

法国因其悠久的葡萄酒历史而享誉全球，可以追溯到公元前7世纪（当时在南海 岸建立了第一个希腊贸易站）。如今，葡萄酒无疑仍是法国文化最璀璨的一部 分，后者在各个世纪以来都受到葡萄酒种植的重大影响，因此法国被称为“葡 萄酒之乡”。 如今，法国拥有85,000多个酒庄，其中绝大多数为小型酒庄，这些酒庄大多直接 向当地私人客户销售，而没有国际销售渠道。 有了这些知识，露喜龙（Roussillon）的酿酒师托马·曼金（Thomas Mangin，也 叫为马善语）和现居中国的侍酒师阿德里安·尼古拉（Adrien Niclot）决定将几 位酿酒师召集在一起，共同打造 “醉夜” （Soir d’Ivresse）的概念。 通过以“醉夜”（Soir d’Ivresse）的标签聚合这些酿酒师的作品，该联盟旨在为 国际葡萄酒爱好者和法国小型酿酒师之间建立联系。法国诗意的名字“醉夜” （Soir d’Ivresse）令人仿佛回到那一天晚上，微醺之际这群酿酒师决定打造共同 的品牌来跟更多的人分享自己的葡萄酒。
