Advertising postcard from the late 19th century for ENOSÓTERO, a product designed to preserve and improve all types of wines. Easy to use and economical, it was intended for winemakers and wine merchants who wanted to prevent wine from turning into vinegar.

As indicated on the back of the postcard: “At a dose of about 45 grams per hectoliter (an ounce and a half per batch), it preserves and improves all kinds of wines, both natural and those to which sugar or molasses have been added. It is indispensable to prevent low-alcohol wines and so-called agua-pié wines from turning into vinegar or rotting. With Enosótero, wine can travel by sea and withstand changes in temperature without alteration.”

This product was exclusively distributed by the company “Alomar y Uriach”, headquartered at 20 Montcada Street, Barcelona.
