Although it was published some years ago, today we want to make a special reference to the book “What to drink when you don’t drink” (Ed. Urbano – 2017), written by Meritxell Falgueras. A journalist, sommelier with her own winery in Barcelona, el Celler de Gelida. With a master degree in Viticulture, Enology and Marketing by the Enology School of Espiells. She is a member of the Catalan Academy of Gastronomy and professor in official sommelier courses.
She is an (alcoholic) wine influencer, very active on social media, Instagram, Facebook, etc. and through her website (www.winesandthecity.com). She frequently does collaboration with the media, such as press, radio and television.
Her book is on the news right now because it has won the Gourmand World Award – Best of the Best 25 years. Her book, very aligned with our activity, focuses on spread the pleasure, taste and fun of drinking without alcohol. It reveals non-alcoholic drinks for any occasion, to complement a good meal or have a great time with your friends, all without the need of alcohol. It contains a wide variety of recommendations to drink and pair, cold and hot drinks, still and sparkling, made for people that because of necessity, decision or simply for fun, they want to experiment the original possibilities of the world of 0.0% drinks.
Meritxell shows special beverages for every moment depending on what you are going to eat, or how you fill, or who are you with. Unique recipes and easy to prepare. The drinks stimulate your senses and at the same time improve your energy. Classic or edgy, simple or as sophisticated as a good wine. All the recipes contain a lot of information that will help you to boost aromas and textures.
“What to drink when you don’t drink” is divided in four parts to help you to choose the perfect drink depending on the situation: different times of the day, the four seasons, special occasions and depending on your mood.
Congratulations Meritxell! In The Blue Dolphin Store we are sure that with the growing amount of new and innovative dealcoholized beverages (that you will find in our website) you can publish a second part with the same or more success than the first one.
Don’t hesitate and get the book in her website or on Amazon and enjoy the alcohol-free world with the good advice of Meritxell.
