"Historias para Catar" ("Histories to Taste"), the world of wine turned into prose.

Literature is, without a doubt, one of the best forms to approach readers to unknown worlds or to show them an unusual facet of an aspect or an accessible and daily product. And this last one is indeed one of the main objectives of "Histories to Taste", a collective work of ten writers, under the sponsorship of bodegas Enate, that tries to present the cultural aspects of wine throughout history.

It is the second part of an initiative from the mentioned winery that began with the edition of "Cuentos para Catar" ("Story tales to Taste"), that registered a great success of sales.

Therefore, "Histories to Taste" follows the trail of its predecessor and consists of ten stories written by some of the most representative authors of the Spanish panorama like Fernando María, Care Santos, José Luis Gracia Mosteo, Ramon Acín, Marta Sanz, Antón Castro, Inma Chacón, Mario de los Santos, Eugenia Rico and Amadeo Cobas.

In the work, that was recently presented in the record and book store FNAC of Zaragoza, the people in charge of the project emphasized that it was a book in which each author had managed to print his own vision on the flavours and the colours of wine. After the conference, the people who went could enjoy a wine tasting of some of the best wines of Bodegas Enate, one of the most representative one of the DO Somontano.

One of the authors, Ramon Acín, said during the act that the book makes a fast scan from 16th to the 21st century, showing the past and the present time of this drink. The author emphasized that to taste a wine is just like to taste a history of literature, and clarified that to carry out both activities it is needed: a little tranquillity, to observe and to taste, and in addition, in the case of literature, to reflect.

Between the pages of "Histories to Taste", the authors give reasons to combine Literature and wine, since they assure that there is no better moment a wine glass can be tasted than when accompanied by the reading of lines able to transport to a distant place…a truly happy moment.
