Huge waves crash on the ship throwing it in every direction; it sometimes finds itself on top of one of these waves, sometimes its down below, lost in the abyss, then the boat resurfaces spinning like a cork.

In the hold already, water level reaches the sailors’ waists. Joachim descends holding on to whatever he can to avoid getting swept by one of these gigantic waves.

Down under, the sailors are exhausted, motionless. The men refuse to fight back. Streaming, Joachim springs in the tween deck with a “xahakoa” in his hands. He hands out the gourd to his crew. They all drink out of it with whatever remaining strength they have left. The miracle happens immediately. “Jeki! Jeki!” shout the men. Like crazy, they regain their places and fight back the cyclone with all the rage of desperation… Suddenly the throwing and the pitching stop. The sea magically calms down, darkness leaves the skies… From the deck, a sailor shouts: “Land! Land!!! ...

In the middle of the storm and thinking there was no hope, Joachim the Bask remembered an old recipe from his grandmother. In his gourd made out of skin, he mixed in some good wine from Navarre, unctuous fruit syrups and some red pepper powder from his far away and beloved Bask country.

His grandmother used to say that this beverage made men stronger than fear itself; she added laughing that the devil did not like Bask peppers. She also used to say that it made men and women better in bed, but hush… she didn’t want anybody to know about it…"

Bipéro Company is the result of a fantastic cocktail!
"It’s the encounter of a 200 year old Bask sangria recipe, discovered in the memories of a family from Guipuzkoa that emigrated to South America and a stubborn and singular character that brought it back to its roots.

It was a pretty crazy challenge willing to make this sangria with local and good quality products. Bipéro Company takes up the gauntlet and will make you discover this sangria during this year 2005.
