Our Vision
People have been consuming alcoholic beverages for more than 10,000 years and they have been present in all societies throughout history. Drinking is documented in the Hebrew and Christian Bibles, in the Qur'an, in art history, in Greek literature as old as Homer, and in Confucius’s Analects.
