At the end of the Holy Mass, the Prince Delegate greeted the guests at the vin d’honneur held at the premises of the large Sacristy, during which Georgian wine was served, donated by the Delegate himself. Georgia is in fact known for being the cradle of wine; Homer already talks about it in the Odyssey, and Apollonius Rhodius in the Argonautics; in addition to the Georgian National Museum, even the world academia, such as the University of Milan, the University of Pennsylvania and many other academic bodies, agree in attributing to Georgia, which has over 520 native vines, the primacy on the origin of the wine. A particular thanks is due to Father Radek, of the Order of the Capuchin Friars Minor, Rector of the Church who hosted the Holy Mass and the subsequent banquet, and to Mons. Sandro Corradini, former Promoter of the Faith of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, for his presence at the delegation initiative as well as for having given his contribution in finding the Church that hosted the ceremony.
