The “Wine Runner”: The Dream Job You’ll Never Have 👑

Yes, really. The job? Shadow Her Majesty through the palace, armed with a mobile wine cellar — always ready to uncork a bottle at a moment’s notice without spilling a single drop (or bumping into a powdered wig).

📝 Job Posting – Versailles Edition:

• Position: Wine Runner (M/F)

• Duties: Sprinting after the Queen with six bottles and flawless balance

• Skills Required: royal-level stamina, lightning-fast cork popping, and spatial awareness to navigate Versailles’ halls

• Perks: top-tier gossip access, a cardio routine fit for a king, and premium wine fumes (tasting optional)

Here’s the kicker: Marie-Antoinette was practically a teetotaler.
That’s right — these poor runners got their daily workout lugging around full bottles that were rarely even opened. Early history’s version of workplace burnout? We think so.

Oh, and get this: there were FOUR Wine Runners.
Picture it — a relay team in silk stockings, passing bottles like Olympic torches. Versailles’ very own Wine Games 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️
