On a warm summer evening 20 years ago, an 8-year-old boy made a discovery that would put his tiny French village on the map.

Thibault Mottet and his family were strolling around a construction site in Coisia, their town of about 200 people, checking out the progress of a local road expansion, when something on the newly exposed rock caught the boy’s eye. “I recognized the form — a bit circular, imprinted onto the rock,” he explained over the phone.

In a little village within the wine region of Alsace in northeastern France, five three-year-old children gathered together for pre-school among a community of wine grape growers. The children were asked to draw pictures that represented what they wanted to be when they grew up and so four of the kids, all boys, drew tractors and vines as they wanted to be grape growers and winemakers like their fathers but the one little girl didn’t have winemaking parents and so she was curious about these pictures that the boys drew as well as their enthusiastic descriptions of their fathers’ job. “I want to work in the vineyards too!” the girl exclaimed but everyone else was dumbfounded by such a statement from a little girl as it was known during those times that it was the men who worked in the vineyards and winery.

Dubbed the “rebound plan”, the strategy rolled out by the Alsace wine marketing board CIVA to overcome the coronavirus crisis is both ambitious and consistent with the repositioning programme launched last year. “In the face of adversity, it is a mistake to change course when the first positive signals from the market are coming in. Alsace continues to wake from its slumber. The number one danger in a crisis is to seek out initiatives that reassure”, pointed out Philippe Bouvet, CIVA's marketing director.
