WINE NEWS / “Per Bacco, Ragazzi!” Encourages Young Wine Drinkers

A new campaign in Italy has put out a questionnaire on wine that attempts to build a profile of the ‘under 30’ wine consumer. This program made its first university stop in Sardinia, where a convention was held that included free and guided tastings and ended with a musical grand finale; participants were invited to join “Viniadi,” the Olympiad of Non-Professional Tasters. The tour of Italy’s campuses is now well under way, and numerous renowned Italian experts have given lectures and lessons for the eager students. Some days even include specialized education on regional or local wines, adding a personal flair to the event.

The slogan of the campaign encourages young Italians to “Drink little, in order to drink well, every day.” Also important for the campaign’s association with universities is the motto, “Drink well in order to think well.” Further information about the campaign, as well as the integral wine questionnaire and a link to the Viniadi site, can be found at www.vinoegiovani.it.
