Become a responsible consumer of wine
-
We could talk for hours about wine because its bounties are endless.
Just to name a few things, the moderate consumption of wine reduces the risk of death from heart disease by half, it improves blood circulation, and enhances the flavors of food. Wine also allows us to prepare the most delicious drinks, it is present at the best get-togethers among friends, and it's very tasty, to mention a few of its virtues.
However, when we do things in excess, many times we make the mistake of turning something good into something that is not so good, or even disastrous. And just like our parents used to tell us, “everything in excess is bad for you.”
Tips
When you drink wine, don’t even think about getting behind the wheel
Drinking alcohol, even in minimal amounts, alters our cognitive abilities, decreases our attention, and causes our bodies to react much more slowly to external signals. Not coincidentally, alcohol consumption is the primary cause of vehicular accidents.
Tips
Whenever you drink wine, make sure to pair it with a delicious meal
This will not only prevent possible physical and harmful discomforts (such as drunkenness, stomachaches, nausea, or headaches), but it will also allow you to experience a wide array of flavors. You can find the best meals to accompany your favorite varieties on our recipe menu.
Tips
Do not allow children to drink wine
Children under the age of 18 may not drink any type of alcohol, seeing as they are not yet physically nor mentally prepared to tolerate its effects. Also, it is prohibited by Chilean law. Therefore, your duty as an adult is to not allow a minor to drink wine or any other type of alcohol. By respecting this, you will be protecting their health and avoiding any possible risks.
Tips
Do not drink if you are pregnant or breastfeeding
This could lead to serious consequences to your health and that of your nursing child. Thus, drastically avoid consumption during this time.
Tips
If you see a friend is drinking in excess, let him/her know!
Wine is meant to enjoy pleasurable and happy moments. If you see a friend or acquaintance is exceeding their limits, try to talk to him/her and advise against it. We must all take part in the responsible consumption of wine and prevent such a pleasant experience like enjoying a glass of wine from turning into something negative.
Tips
And last but not least, recycle!
The planet needs our help. Let’s help take care of the planet through such simple actions like recycling our used bottles. At present, the majority of municipalities have recycling areas available. Glass, especially that of wine bottles, is one of the materials with the greatest capacity for reuse. Get inspired and start recycling!
