La Denomination of Origin Catalunya today launches a new bet for this coming year loaded with news. It's about the Bacuspedia, an encyclopedia on the world of wine. With her DO Catalonia wants to contribute to do diffusion of wine culture, 'demystifying' it and making it close to all audiences.
La Bacuspedia, which will be published periodically in the DO Catalunya website, explains different wine concepts through animation. In this way, the denomination of origin gives continuity to a line of work. This started 2 years ago with the publication of the first edition of Vinomics.
La Bacuspedia It starts with the publication of the first two chapters or terms to be defined: R for Pink and A for Fruity. Little clips that try to clarify why a wine is said to be fruity. Or defend the existence of great and good rosé wines. All this from the hand of animated characters, some of which are very familiar.
The architects of the Bacuspedia project
El author of the Bacuspedia vignettes is the illustrator and animator Alex Roca, while behind the hyphens is Raul Deamo. The two are part of the team of authors that make up Vinomics.
Rock is a creator of characters and history with nods to fantasy cinema. Also to TV series and cult comics. He has made animations for television and cinema, as well as viral videos such as the well-known Spain.
For its part, Of love is the coordinator of Vinomics, a project that has allowed him to unite two of his passions- First, the love for comics, where he usually works developing stories as a screenwriter. Then, his most recent interest in the world of wine, has led him to shoot the documentary Deconstructing Catalan wine (2013).
