Adrian Grösser: "I find rosé wine very fashionable."

Actors have rotating schedules: when people are resting, you're working. When's that one moment you have to unwind and have a glass of wine?

— Not only that, but when you're doing theater, you live a little bit for the theater. I mean, you wake up in the morning and you already have the show in your head. I've always said that, especially with theater, there's a kind of mental turmoil. You're done working at 11 p.m. after the show, but you know that from the moment you wake up the next day until the show starts, you'll already have it in your head, no matter how much you go to the gym or do anything else. There's always the... run run. Filming is also very intense, and you don't have more time until the end. I'm not a big fan of actors' schedules. That's why the glass of wine always happens after the performance, or in this case on Monday, which is usually the day off.

There's often food or drinks placed in the dressing rooms. What do you order?

— I always have a bottle of Ballantine's I bought myself. This was because I was given it one year when I did the opening of a show and it went really well. I can't remember which one now, but since then I always have to keep a bottle of Ballantine's in my dressing room for luck. Although I'm not a big whisky drinker, right? It's just superstition. It's when we finish the show that we put up a mat. I think it's nice because in the end it's something you share with your teammates and because it's still a sign of closure and celebration.

Precisely because of your travels as an actor, you've been able to travel quite a bit. Do you remember any drinks in particular?

— I was once invited, along with other actors, to harvest wine at Jean León's vineyards. They have a deeply rooted culture with film, so they decided to do the film harvest. I remember it very well because, apart from the harvest, we also tasted some very good wines and had a great meal. There I tasted the best wine I've ever tasted. I'm not a wine expert, but that wine was very good, and I still remember it now. I remember we brought a lot of wine, and when you're in that situation, you don't usually want more wine because it doesn't sink in, but I remember them insisting and telling me that the last thing they would serve was especially good. It was. I think it was a bottle from the 1980s.

Are you interested in hearing about the winemaking process?

— It's a story, and when you take a sip of that history, it's a pleasure, sometimes. The same thing happens with food. When you're in a place you're not familiar with and you taste a traditional dish, I think it has added value, because it's a story and a culture. The sensorial and intellectual pleasure.

One of the things that surprised me when we met was that you looked closely at rosé wines. Do you particularly like them?

— Yes, a lot. It seems like a lot to me. fashion, Rosé wine. I love the color of rosé wine; I find it beautiful. It catches my attention not only for its appearance, but also for its taste, which is why I usually order rosés. If I want a wine that's a little fresher and with more body than a white, I order a rosé. I actually don't drink much with white wine.

What other specificities do you take into account when choosing a wine?

— My mother always orders wine. I usually look at where the wine is from and then I get a rough idea of what it will taste like. But my parents have always been very wine-oriented. Although I've ended up being more of a beer person...

What difference does it make, for example, between a meeting over a glass of wine or a beer?

— Wow, I don't know, but it's true that it creates a different atmosphere. In my case, I think it depends on the person. I have relationships with whom, when we meet, we drink wine, and relationships with whom, when we meet, we drink beer. I have people I associate with wine and people I associate with beer.
