Bullipedia Wine Sapiens con Meritxell Juvé, Ferran Adrià y Ferran Centelles

Meritxell Juvé, CEO and 4th generation of the winery, and Ferran Adrià, founder of elBullifoundation, together with his head of drinks, Ferran Centelles, have hosted the world premiere event for the English editions of Wine Sapiens Volumes III and IV in Japan.

The premium Spanish sparkling wine brand Juvé & Camps is supporting the translation into English of the edition of the wine encyclopedia Wine Sapiens, developed by elBullifoundation. Wine Sapiens is the only wine encyclopedia existing nowadays in the world, that took over  8 years of research and development to produce as part of the Bullipedia project, spearheaded by elBullifoundation. In addition to the already published English Volumes 1–4, the remaining Volumes 5–8 are scheduled to be published in this language in the following years.

Juvé & Camps held several events to unveil the English editions of Volume III and IV of “Wine Sapiens” for the first time in the world, welcoming invited chefs, sommeliers, media and trade professionals from Japan. Over the course of 4 days, Meritxell Juvé, CEO and 4th family generation, together with Ferran Adrià, founder of Elbullifoundation, and his head of drinks, Ferran Centelles,  introduced Wine Sapiens project, along with several tastings of the Juvé & Camps sparkling wines. A total of 10 different wines have been featured these days, including the Spanish pioneering Brut Nature, Reserva de la Familia Gran Reserva, borned in 1976 and heralding a new era, as well as older vintages.

This support for the English edition stems from Juvé & Camps’ commitment to advancing the fields of gastronomy and sommelier practices, as well as the wine culture divulgation, hoping this translation will positively influence sommeliers and gastronomy enthusiasts worldwide.

Meritxell Juvé, CEO of Juvé & Camps and 4th generation, commented: 

“We remain loyal to our century-old tradition and our commitment to excellence, innovation and integrity in the creation and production of our sparkling wines. Passion for what we do is what we share with elBullifoundation. Since the Wine Sapiens project began to take shape, we have supported the work of Ferran Adrià and Ferran Centelles to develop the most extensive compendium of wine knowledge made to date. We have also actively helped this multidisciplinary encyclopaedia and its holistic approach on the world of wine and gastronomy reach the widest possible audience.”

Ferran Adrià, Founder of elBullifoundation, commented: 

“Together with Juvé & Camps, a highly valued and respected brand worldwide, we share values such as innovation and the search for the best quality. I am truly proud of our collaboration in translating Sapiens del Vino into English, a key effort to bring this wine knowledge to every corner of the world.”

 Ferran Centelles, head of beverage at elBullifoundation, commented: 

“Juvé & Camps is the benchmark brand for Spanish sparkling wine, but our collaboration goes beyond the English translation; they are a source of knowledge, innovation, and vision. We have learned from them, and their insights have helped us build Sapiens del Vino.”
