Veronique tries to snatch the bottle out of his hands. Michel resists.

Annette: "What's the matter with you, Michel?!"

Michel: "All right, there you are, take it. Drink, drink, who cares."

Veronique: "It's wonderful."

This indicates that the topic of alcohol is more important than the actual problem at hand.
