La Vanguardia and other media have published news about the first donation of the non-profit association “Vi per Vida” (“Wine for Life”) to IRB Barcelona for cancer and metastasis research. Xavier Ayala, its promoter, and Joan Guinovart, director of IRB Barcelona, were grateful for the participation of so many people, institutions and wineries in the two charity tastings held in 2014. The association has already scheduled three new wine-tasting events for this year.
