It may sound small, but a charming story from Grevenmacher reminds us that kindness and community spirit aren’t lost. Last Thursday, during a photo shoot for Luxembourg’s annual Grape and Wine Festival, a thief made off with the distinctive wine glasses belonging to the Wine Queen and her princesses.

Rather than anger, organisers responded with humour: a public appeal offering amnesty, joking that the thief likely just wanted to “give the glasses a proper cleaning.” This light‑hearted tone struck a chord in the community.

And wouldn’t you know it—the glasses were anonymously returned to the Grevenmacher town hall on Tuesday. Notably, they still needed cleaning, but the gesture spoke volumes. It showed that even in moments of mischief, people still prefer goodwill over malice.

What's striking is how this simple act—returning a set of festival glasses—galvanized community connection and lightened the mood. In a world full of heavy headlines, it's nice to be reminded that sometimes all it takes is a bit of playfulness and forgiveness to set things right.

That’s what’s right with the world: laughter, light-heartedness, and the knowledge that a local gesture of amnesty can turn a minor crime into a little miracle.
