Vic (Gastroteca.cat).- The local Vic wine shop, ‘Spirit of Vic’, has just débuted a new website dedicated to ecologically-produced Catalan wine. “We want to change the opinion of all those who believe that wines outside of Catalonia are better”, said its promoter, Quim Soler. The website vinscatalans.cat has created an on-line store devoted to Catalan wines and cellars. While websites devoted to selling wine and cava are becoming more and more popular, those that offer brands from Catalonia are few and far between. This is precisely what makes vinscatalans.cat stand out.


"The intention is to use an emergent market, but also to change the opinion of all those who believe that wines outside of Catalonia are better”, assured Quim Soler, promoter of the initiative along with Marta Celma. Soler and Celma hope that the website will be a way of reaching out to potential new customers outside of the region of Osona. Soler affirmed that neither short nor long-term goals have been placed and that the idea is that the site will become complimentary to their store ‘Spirit of Vic’, located in Santa Teresa square of Vic.

Vinscatalans.cat now offers over 200 varieties of wine from Catalonia, the Balearic Islands, and the Aragonese border. The online stores offers cava, red wine, rosé wine, white wine, sweet wine and beer, as well as alimentary products such as honey from the region of Osana and cold meats from Vic.

Vinscatalans.cat prioritises ecological wines and cellars. “We want to go down a specific track and differentiate ourselves by concentrating on the benefits of production methods because we think this sector has a future”, said Soler. The website guarantees that the product will arrive 48 hours after it has been bought anywhere in Catalonia. The company also counts on a Facebook group and a blog where they are able to interact with their customers as well as market their brand. They have also taken part in the European program ‘Wine in Moderation’ that promotes the responsible consumption of wine.
