Subject
France’s grands crus are the stuff of dreams, and marketing teams have understood this: it’s essential to make customers get excited. That’s why brands are focusing on maximum customisation.
This is perfect timing for the Golden Tech candidate, who will have to demonstrate the breadth of his or her skills: in mechanics, with motor couplings; in electricals, through wiring; and in programming, with a section dedicated to developing a programme. The ultimate goal? Inscribing the famous G logo on a pattern for personalising champagne bottle overwraps.
History
France’s winemaking tradition dates back to Roman times and has been perfected over the centuries. The vineyards are distinguished by their varied terroirs, giving rise to renowned crus. Champagne, made in Champagne from the 17th century onwards, became an emblem of celebration and a symbol of French luxury. Spirits have been developed since the Middle Ages through the distillation of plants and wine.
