It was in 1846 that it became really popular thanks to Joseph Dubonnet who developed a wine-based medicine and quinine to fight against malaria. As his remedy had a bitter taste, he used a decoction of herbs and spices to mask the unpleasant taste of his drink. And that was it. First it was the soldiers of the Foreign Legion who used it in the mosquito-infested swamps of North Africa and then one day, for some reason, Joseph&#8217;s good wife decided to serve her husband&#8217;s magic potion as an aperitif to her friends. They found the drink delicious, and it became very popular, reaching its peak in 1930 with an advertisement that marked its time &#8220;Dubo, Dubon, Dubonnet&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"543\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/lesfrenchquiches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dubodubondubonnet.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lesfrenchquiches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dubodubondubonnet.png 543w, https:\/\/lesfrenchquiches.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dubodubondubonnet-226x300.png 226w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 543px) 100vw, 543px\" \/><figcaption>Adolphe, Jean Marie Mouron dit Cassandre (1901-1968)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What about pulling the Dubonnet out of the closet?

In a light and good-natured way, the song evokes a farmer who, seeing his wife Marie watching the show presented by V\u00e9ronique and Davina which praised the merits of aerobics, decided to get into the gym himself by uncorking bottles of wine and drinking them with a speedy rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube alignwide wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Les charlots L&#039;aperobic\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rjrCU5372Fs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>And one, I take the cap off and two, I put a little ice cube in..
