Sorry Disney a real faux pas on this one!
Visited the Epcot food & wine festival last week and couldn’t believe French red wine served in the French sector chilled from the fridge!!!
We asked for wine at the correct temperature and the staff clearly didn’t know what we were talking about!
Perhaps French staff or some wine education!
