Until 1956, French children attending school were served wine on their
lunch breaks. Each pupil was entitled to four glasses a day.
In the past, wine, beer, and cider used to be sold in school
cafeterias, although it was up to each school's discretion whether to
allow it or not. Some parents would even include an alcoholic drink of
their choice - typically 500 mL of wine, cider, or beer, depending on
the region - in their child's lunch to take to school. In instances
where schools did not permit this practice, some parents would
encourage their children to have wine with breakfast before going to
school. Typically, these beverages were available in the school
cafeteria, where students were encouraged to purchase and consume
about half a liter daily.
