The non-profit association “Vi per Vida” (“Wine for Life”), an initiative launched by sommelier Xavier Ayala to boost research into cancer and metastasis, will be the beneficiary of the funds raised with the “solidarity hat” at the 35th Wines and Cavas of Catalonia Fair, to be held from 19 and 24 September at the Arc de Triomf in Barcelona. Today, Jordi Bort, delegate of Prodeca and director of the Catalan Government’s INCAVI, symbolically handed over the first solidarity hat to Ayala.
