From the past...
Something that surprises me in my city is that when I visit liquor stores, I rarely find "chatas" of
pisco. In Peru, we call small bottles of spirits "chatas", a term that can also refer to a short-statured person, known as "chato" or "chata." In English, these are usually referred to as "miniature bottles."
Though they are readily available for rum. However, when I ask at the store whether there’s a demand for them, they tell me there is. They mention that small bottles of pisco from brands like Queirolo Vargas and De los Reyes, among others, have been sold, but their distribution is limited.
The miniature bottle of pisco, priced at no more than five to seven nuevos soles, (US$.2.35.), allows us to distinguish between the different qualities and types of pisco. If these were marketed with an educational and informational focus, they would be more accessible to people like me, who think twice before buying a bottle that costs 19 soles (US$. 6.37.) or more. Every time I go to the store, I see a bottle of pisco priced at 64 soles (US$. 21.47.), and believe me, I always say, "How delicious! When I have the money, I’ll buy it." It’s been over a year, and I still see the same bottle on the same shelf. Honestly, I don’t think I’m the only one who wants to try that pisco.
When we talk about pisco, we’re talking about a sense of identity, a Peruvian culture that contributes to global culture. The consumption of Peruvian pisco should be promoted, especially for sectors with less economic capacity.
I would love to offer my theater, puppet, and mime shows to a pisco-producing company in exchange for their products. During the National Holidays, we’ll be taking our performances to the Peruvian Community in Rio de Janeiro at the "II Metropolitan Encounter: Mimes Live Rio de Janeiro – Lima, July 2007". I would love to bring Peruvian pisco to my Brazilian mime colleagues.
Cheers!
The proposal is open.
