In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Hollande ivre à Vinexpo” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 1230 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3511 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Hollande ivre à Vinexpo” meme mean?

The meme works through the gap between the office, the solemnity of an official speech and mangled words that make the speaker sound as if he has tasted a bit too much. It became a shorthand for any clumsy talk full of slips and approximations. People cite it to mock a wobbly presentation, to joke about their own flubbed word, or to evoke the mood of a tasting event. The verbal slips, far more than the context, are what make the clip stick.

Where does the “Hollande ivre à Vinexpo” meme come from?

François Hollande was President of France from 15 May 2012 to 14 May 2017. In 2015 he gave a speech at Vinexpo, the international wine and spirits trade show created in 1981 by the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce During the address several words came out garbled: “un peau pays” instead of “un beau pays”, “consommotion” and “dorzédéjà”. Set against the wine-trade backdrop, these slips led online viewers to joke that the speaker was drunk. The sequence has since become a staple of viral videos about the president. The footage shows only a hesitant delivery; the idea of drunkenness is a humorous reading by viewers.
