Why did Bacchus want to give midas a gift?

Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and revelry, wanted to grant Midas a gift in gratitude for Midas's hospitality. Midas had shown kindness to Bacchus and his followers, and as a reward, Bacchus offered him a wish. However, Midas's wish for the ability to turn everything he touched into gold ultimately became a curse rather than a blessing.
