  • Abraham Said Invested As a Knight of the Italian Distillers Corporation
    Vini e Capricci honoured by Italian Distillers Corporation Vini e Capricci owner Abraham Said has been inducted as a Cavaliere della Corporazione degli Acquavitieri Italiani (Knight of the Italian Distillers Corporation) of the region of Asti, Italy. For Mr Said, this was a totally unexpected gesture, a memorable event which came as a complete surprise to him. He recalls how it came about: “Last November I was in Italy on holiday with my wife Michelle and we visited Distillerie Berta in Asti, Piemonte. The owner, Gianfranco Berta, told me to keep 23 May, 2004, free. ‘Make sure you are here,’ he said. ‘We will have the ceremony of the Corporazione Acquavitieri.’” They kept the date and arrived a day before. On the morning of the event they went to the distillery and asked about the dress code and what the event was all about. The owner, Gianfranco Berta, who is the Grand Master of the Corporazione degli Acquavitieri Italiani, was not there but his brother, Chicco, did not give much away and just told them to be there at 5 p.m. The only indication Mr Said had was a request a few weeks back for his CV. Gianfranco wanted to know more about his business and his general background, he was told, although Gianfranco had attended the opening of Vini e Capricci in Xewkija in person last October. “When we arrived at 4.50 p.m., I immediately realised that the event was something far superior to what I was expecting. I started seeing certain cars stopping, all with drivers, and on our way in when we gave our names, the girl at reception stuck a rosette on my lapel.
