Carlo, who hadn't had much leisure time at the Royal Palace, quickly felt the sensation of money being swept in by the wind.
On January 5, 1886, Steward Loren excitedly found Carlo to report good news about the development of the Spanish Royal Family's wine industry.
To be precise, it wasn't just the Spanish Royal Family's wine industry that was developing, but the entire Spanish wine industry.
What kind of good news was it?
Last year, in 1885, the total export volume of all Spanish wine brands exceeded one million tons.
What kind of extravagant concept is one million tons of wine? Currently, a standard bottle of wine in Europe is 750 milliliters, meaning a ton of wine can fill about 1333 bottles.
One million tons of wine is equivalent to 1.333 billion bottles. Based on Spain's population of just over 23 million, these exported wines would allow each Spaniard to drink more than 57 bottles a year.
Of course, selling wine doesn't actually make that much money.
