Quim Vila and Siscu Martí, owners of the wine shop and distributor Vila Viniteca, have just announced the new painting that will illustrate the wine catalogue, which they renew annually, and which is called Metamorphosis. If last year was the chef Ferran Adrià who illustrated its cover and also the inside pages, this year it was the artist Daniel Steegmann Mangrané (Barcelona, ​​​​1977), who chose one of the most prestigious marbles in the world: it is the Italian Portoro marble, which naturally produces gold and white veins. The idea of ​​​​linking art with wine began in the 90s, after Quim Vila and Siscu Martí realized that the Bordeaux wine Mouton Rothschild was labeling wines with works of art by Joan Miró, Pablo R. Picasso or Salvador Dalí.

Maximilian Riedel, the eleventh generation of the family that created Riedel glasses, has visited Barcelona to explain to Catalan fans how a wine can become very bad if we don't drink it from the right glass. And he made his point with a statement we'll all agree with: "Life is too short to drink bad wines."
