The most common opinion about alcohol and diets is that drinking makes you fat and in most cases alcohol is forbidden when you're on a diet. Said in that way, this is not totally true, as it is the combination of alcohol and sugar that makes it dangerous. Therefore a cocktail or a glass of sangria have as twice as many calories as a glass of wine. I would like to give you more informations about the topic so that you don't have to refuse a glass of your favourite wine on a night out with friends. Did you know that red wine can help you loosing weight?

Scientists of the „Harvard School of Public Health“ in Boston have discovered that a  regular alcohol consumption doesn't make you gain weight. For study purposes, a group of average weight women of the age of 38 drank 2 or 3 glasses of alcohol on a daily basis.

If you like whisky sure you have heard of the Highlands. This region of Scotland can be proud for having the highest concentration of distilleries together with Speyside. Single malt or blended are the two main types of whisky to be found in this region, although there are other varieties such as blended malt or grain, which however, are not as widespread as the first.

Why Highlands? Highland whisky does not really bring a special kind of features that contribute to homogenize the production. Moreover, whisky connoisseurs, those who are used to taste different brands, origins, vintages, etc. are probably well aware that the designation of origin may be something rather according to geographic criteria than to other characteristics in this particular case.

It was said that everything would be over in 21st December. Doomsday theories announced the end of the world. I was so skeptical to such matters, and I'm always in for a good party, so I'm thinking that the best way to celebrate the not-such-end would be organizing a party or a dinner on the occasion of every new month of Planet Earth.

The main thing regarding this dinner will be choosing three wines which raise it to the level of the dinner of the millennium, which is almost at the level of the Last Supper. And so you notice that you still do not know me, rather than repeat, play it safe, dip into my top 10 wines or call my local dealer, I have decided to try 3 new wines that I have already booked online. What do you think about it?

It is time to give to your loved ones. Besides champagne and wine are, which are in all tables, the cocktails are ideal for a special occasion. Which do you prefer?

Champagne or/and cava are both of the most special drinks. For this reason, the cocktails mixed with cava will be delicious and, in this way, we use the cava sometimes leftover from open bottles.

In days of festivities, comings and goings to see friends and family... yes, and also of bingeing. Even if you are on a diet and want to keep the line, it is impossible not to try the typical sweets, which offer taste and tradition.

We are going to whet your appetite with these surprising proposals that surely will abound at the tables of this 2013. The nougat will be definitely everywhere you go. And otherwise you can try different varieties thanks to the new individual portions of nougat, also a great idea to share.

We go from one extreme to another and if a few days ago we talked about the most expensive wines in the world, today we make a compilation of good cheap wines for this 2013. I have decided that the origin of all of them had to be Spain. It would be very good if a lot of wine is sold, people gets happy, we manage to change the luck and the next year starts with good news, because it is about time.

Rucio, Soldepeñas, Monterio, Viña del Mar, Abadía del roble or Palacio del Conde are wines that only cost a Little more than one Euro. With prices like these there is no possible excuse for not to get a full cellar ready for this year. And it is also possible to find cava (Spanish sparkling wine) for less than two euros, at least in small doses: Codorniu Benjamins for one euro and a half. This is really a 2013 present.

We're delighted! The organisation Best Customer Experience Institute with headquarters in many different countries, which task it is to evaluate and reward the practice in the field of Customer Care and the excellence in the treatment of the client, awarded us with the  Best Customer Experience Award  2012 in the category of alimentation in eCommerce.

The best of it is that we didn't even know to participate in that competition. 2.000 persons selected 500 brands - among them Uvinum. Therefore we compited with brands and labels as Caprabo or our friends of Ulabox. And we won! In the global analyisis of the research we obtained even better results than very big labels and services as Lastminute or El Corte Inglés. .. and others. Of course everything is relative, but the most important thing is that we were analyzed by the same users and a specialized company. 

Nearly 30.000 clients trusted on us since we have been acting as a marketplace for 2 years now and are selling wines, distillates and gourmet products. These years have been intense, but we have improved our service quality a lot but  there are still lots of things to do. Most of our customers are satisfied but we also receive some queries. This price helps us to trust even more on our skills and to continue growing. Thanks to all for this great gift!

And of course many thanks to our Customer Care team (Maria, Miguel, Giulia and Concetta) and the rest of the team of Verticomm- Uvinum who have made this price possible. Thank you!
