As a Latina, I always find the look of a Chef, a server, or a host starting the conversation with, “ Are you Latina?” “Si Señorita,” “Spicy,”. Yes, this still happens and is the worst way to start a conversation. Ces Heredia wrote a piece about how we are still deduced to an outdated, incorrect stereotype of a Spicy Latina and wanted to share the valuable article to validate what we are stating. There are still a lot of stereotypes […] - [How to Enjoy Wine Better](https://latinaswineclub.com/how-to-enjoy-wine-better/): Dry January, Low Alcohol, Mocktails, Damp-January or don’t you care?

My parents preferred cerveza or tequila for family gatherings and my mother had her whiskey from time to time. I saw people drinking wine in movies and when I waitressed at an Italian restaurant in Santa Monica. Wine felt unreachable at that point in my life. I remember when I had my first sip of wine, I did not care for it or maybe I thought it was not meant for me. I even went wine tasting to Santa Maria with my sister and, still, the wine […] - [Stories of Latinas in Wine - Liz Castillo from @winewhizlizz](https://latinaswineclub.com/stories-of-latinas-in-wine-liz-castillo-from-winewhizlizz/): Written by Liz Castillo, Latinas Wine Club Ambassador Okay so let’s be real – between work, family, friends, and real-world issues, it’s fair to say that most people have limited free time and, thanks to social media, somewhat limited attention spans.

I have to LOOK forward to MOVE forward.  If there is anything I have learned in the last year it is that I can’t keep looking back.  I have already been there.  This has been especially true for my wine life. I used to host parties, organize events and loved to entertain.  These days all festivities are scaled back, have to be creative and host on a much smaller scale.  As a result, gatherings have been more intimate, but just as special.  Adelante!

But what about places where wine culture was born? In Israel, where the Fertile Crescent meets the Mediterranean and wine was produced 5000 years ago, let’s call this the “Ancient World.” Over millennia, Israel earned a reputation for quality winemaking as the wines that were essential to their livelihood and culture were sent west to empires in Egypt, Greece, and Rome. So important was wine to their culture that even King David had a sommelier!

First, what is a low alcohol beverage? Second, what is inside of a low-alcohol beverage? We also asked a couple of our Amigas what they think about the low-alcohol drinks. Here are the conclusions. What is a low-alcohol beverage? The communication of the beverage industry towards consumers is full of misinformation. Phrases like ‘clean wine,’ ‘reduced alcohol’ are part of many wine labels confusing the consumers. For instance, low-alcohol and reduced alcohol do not mean the same. On the one hand, low-alcohol means ‘alcoholic strength […] - [Champagne: A Glass of Pure Joy](https://latinaswineclub.com/champagne-a-glass-of-pure-joy/): If we have learned anything after almost two years of enduring a global pandemic, it’s to celebrate the every day.

We just celebrated a year of staying true to our mission, of creating a community of Latinas in Wine, of elevating our voices in an industry that needed to hear us.

With over 400 hundred varieties of grapes grown within its borders, 80% of the country’s wine production is from only 20 grapes.

Moreover, the pre-COVID beverage e-commerce strategy relied upon outsourcing to retail partners and start-ups, with beverage companies forfeiting the ability to directly connect with potential customers, and the opportunity to create […] - [Le Marche’s most historic vineyards](https://latinaswineclub.com/le-marches-most-historic-vineyards/): The ancients called Italy “Enotria,” or “Land of Wine,” for good reason. With an ideal climate for viticulture, it vies with France as the world’s top wine producer. And while several international varieties grow well there, it’s truly the 400 or so indigenous grapes that truly make Italy remarkable. One of Italy’s lesser known, but no less historic, regions is Le Marche, located in central Italy. Let’s learn about this stunning region and discover the native grapes that make wine from Le Marche so sought after. Where the North Begins Located on the Adriatic coast, Le Marche features 5 DOCG’s […] - [A Beautiful Women, Wine, and Education Connection](https://latinaswineclub.com/a-beautiful-women-wine-and-education-connection/): It’s a well-known fact that women make 20% less than men in the workplace. It’s also a sad fact that even though great strides have been made to close the education gender gap at the primary school level, disparities in secondary education and training still persist in the global arena. Labor force participation is an important criterion of women’s participation in economic life and ensuring equal access to college, post-secondary education, and training is key ensuring women have the same opportunities as men. But financial access to secondary education and beyond continues to be uneven preventing many women from being […] - [Spring Wine Pairing Guide with Brunch Recipes](https://latinaswineclub.com/spring-wine-pairing-guide-with-brunch-recipes/): Amigas,  we are halfway through spring which means summer is around the corner.

Officially designated an appellation in 1977, Provence is the oldest wine producing region in France, making the oldest form of wine—Rosé! The typical Provencal vineyard resting between the Mediterranean and the Alps has picture-perfect terroir with the ideal Mediterranean climate. It’s no doubt this beautiful region makes just as gorgeous wines. What are the appellations of Provence? Five appellations are currently recognized in Provence, each with its own typicity: Côtes de […] - [French Wine Matters in Our Global Economy](https://latinaswineclub.com/french-wine-matters-in-our-global-economy/): There are few industries that are strikingly more global than wine. Wine has been produced and shipped around the world for thousands of years, but it has truly become a global industry in the last 50 years. The conditions of one wine producing region can ripple through the global economy affecting trade, market prices, and the supply chain. Probably more so than any country, the wine sector is critical to the French economy. It represents the second net trade surplus after the aeronautics industry and creates jobs for many in rural regions where other economic activities are scarce. But in […] - [Stories of Latinas in Wine: Emy from @saluteandwine](https://latinaswineclub.com/stories-of-latinas-emy-from-saluteandwine/): I remember being about eight years old sitting at the dinner table one Thanksgiving evening, sharing our blessings and gratitude. As usual, our family would each have a glass of wine or champagne to toast with as a tradition if you were of age of course. This meant that us kids would get treated to sparkling grape juice for the night so we could at least pretend that we were drinking the same as the grownups. Being the curious and stubborn little kid that I was, I would not stop bugging my mother for a sip until she gave in […] - [Be a Climate Justice Wine Warrior](https://latinaswineclub.com/be-a-climate-justice-wine-warrior/): We consume nearly 7 billion gallons wine (alcohol.org) every year and over six gallons of water are required to produce one gallon of wine (wineandvineanylytics.com)! Irrigation, frost prevention, sprays, and winery water use all contribute to this massive impact. In fact, the alcoholic beverage industry is considered one of the “dirtiest” sectors in our global economy. The symptoms of climate change abound—rising temperatures, droughts, fires, and natural disasters—and we simply can’t ignore this impact. Especially because, according to research, we have only until 2030 to reverse the 1.5 degree Celsius increase in global temperature that (nasa.gov) is considered to be […] - [Malbec’s Original French Connection](https://latinaswineclub.com/malbecs-original-french-connection/): Chances are any Malbec you’ve enjoyed has come from Argentina. With 70% of the world’s production of Malbec coming from this Andean country, it’s not surprising we associate this purple-hued wine with this South American wine powerhouse. But like most international varietals that have found their way to the New World, Malbec has its ancestral roots in France and continues present-day to produce exquisite wines reminiscent of its origins. Bordeaux Beginnings Malbec originally hails from France where it was one of the secondary grapes in Bordeaux blends. A sensitive varietal, it was notoriously hard to grow and was susceptible to […] ## Pages - [Shop](https://latinaswineclub.com/shop/): This content is password-protected.

Why, then, are they underrepresented in the wine industry? Our founder, Martha Cisneros Paja, didn’t simply ask the question. She wanted to fix it. With a passion for wine, Martha created a social media wine club, @latinaswineclub, with the hope that this online hub would support and connect Latina wine professionals and enthusiasts. During the peak of the pandemic, as our communities were struggling, she began to feature these dynamic Latinas to help spotlight their successes and offer inspiration to others.
