The most scandalous independence movement has attacked in recent days, especially through social networks, once morest the Corporació Catalana de Mitjans Audiovisuals (CCMA) for the presence of a DO Rioja wine at an event on regional public television on the eve of Sant Jordi . Fifty writers with a literary award were invited by TV3 to the Fundació Tàpies in Barcelona, last Monday, April 22, for the traditional book day photo, where they were offered something to eat and drink. In addition to a Juvé & Camps cava, the guests were also able to taste a Riojan red wine, Señorío de Villarrica, which caught the attention of one of the invited artists, who made her “surprise” public through X and posted a photo of the scene . “Can you imagine a Catalan wine at a public media event in La Rioja on an important day?”, “What a shame!” These are some of the comments that the publication received.
Sources from the CCMA point out that they always work with “catering companies that work with Catalan and kilometer zero products, but that day they had to turn to a company that they do not usually work with.” They consider that “a human error was made”, which they regret. They allege that TV3 unequivocally supports Catalan products, especially local wine, since lately it has focused on promoting its consumption. The writer herself who denounced the situation, Roser Vernet, born in the Priorat wine region, promotes an association in her region to promote local product.
