FOLKLORE DANCER BOTTLE OPENER

This bottle opener combines three integral parts of Hungarian culture: dance, alcohol and hospitality. The figurine is wearing a traditional costume, including a vest and a comfortable pair of breeches. The outfit enables a lot of leg freedom, which is needed for the vivid dance moves of the Hungarian csárdás. However, the image of the custom-obsessed Hungarian is outdated, as nowadays over 70% of Hungarians live in urban areas, getting more out of touch with folklore traditions. In terms of the alcohol consumption, there’s good and bad news. Unfortunately, Hungary still saves itself a seat on the list of the 10 heaviest drinking countries, with an alarming alcoholism rate of about 10%. On a good note, it has been like this since decades, so the situation is not getting worse. Egészségére to that.
