What's your favorite drinking expression from around the world? 🍷

Every drinking culture has a phrase that makes perfect sense after the second glass!

Some celebrate good taste.
Some excuse another pour.
Others disguise a strong spirit as something far more innocent.

From French wine wisdom to Mexican mezcal sayings, these expressions reveal something the bottle alone cannot: how a culture jokes, celebrates, and gathers around a drink.

Swipe through five sayings from around the world...then add one from where you’re from.

What’s the expression, and what does it really mean?

The farther mezcal travels... the easier it is for parts of its story to disappear.

Fernando RubĂ­ of Monstruo de Agua (.de.agua) grew up in a family of mezcal producers and watched the spirit move from local tradition to global category.

A bottle may arrive thousands of miles from where it was made. Its label may be the first (and sometimes only) place where a drinker encounters the people and place behind it.

A producer’s name.
A community.
An agave variety.
A batch.

Small details, but each one brings the mezcal closer to its origin.

Next time you pick up an artisanal spirit, look beyond the design!

What does its label help you discover?

Sometimes it's just a matter of taste. Other times, it's about understanding what it takes to create truly distinctive spirits and unique flavors.

Originally from Veracruz, Belen Villarreal moved to Mexico City to study gastronomy, where she discovered that her passion extended beyond food and into the world of wine and Mexican spirits. What began as an opportunity to work in a small wine and mezcal shop has evolved into years of sharing the stories behind artisanal producers and the projects they build.

Today, when selecting wines and spirits for her portfolio, Belen looks for more than quality alone. She values the opportunity to work closely with producers, understand their philosophy, and build genuine relationships with the people behind each bottle.

Raquel Ramos () didn't plan to build a career behind the bar.

She first worked in hospitality because it fit around university and raising her son. What was meant to be temporary became a profession she fell in love with.

Years later, after working as a bartender at Despacho Margarita (), brand ambassador, and educator, she sees every bottle a little differently. Behind each cocktail is an opportunity to share the story of the people who made the spirit, the place it came from, and why it deserves to be remembered.

And we think this is beautiful, too.

While searching for natural ways to heal and reconnect with his body, Heráclito López, co-founder of Granicera Astrafilia (.astrafilia), found himself immersed in Mexican herbalism. Over time, that personal journey evolved into something much bigger - one that brought together plants, gastronomy, craft spirits, and community in unexpected ways.
