    We want it to be seen that an incorrect calculation can come to give a correct product, they explain from Bodegas Alcardet, which add that we understand that unexpected things can happen. Thus, they explain that the grape with which they then make their product is exposed to a different climate, to a changing environment - and hence the idea of reflecting that calculation whose sum does not give the final result, but that once it is taken there is what was wanted.

    Huffington Post ES, translated so it might read a bit weird

    From the manufacturer of the wine:

    Correctness is not always an exact operation, just ask Alexander Fleming, the father of penicillin, or Marie Curie, the creator of radioactivity, whose fortuitous discoveries were made possible by unforeseen factors.

    Today, oenology is a mixture of tradition with experimentation and technological innovation. At Bodegas Alcardet we consider Correcto a wine far from all calculations. Its success lies in the winemaker’s freedom to combine the benefits of success and failure.

    We flee from the precision that sometimes oppresses us and focus on the subjectivity of the unexpected. The essence is not always found in perfection but in the error that changes everything and makes it unique and special.

    The Wonderful Mistake

    As for the number significance, who knows? They never explained the specifics from what I could find.

      Battle of Hastings 1066, birth of Charlemagne 748. Not sure on the other two, events don’t seem like they could be linked in the same way as far as years go but it could be something else.

    They still haven’t “fixed” it btw. And my human meat brain is 99% certain it’s on purpose:
    18 - 5 = 12
    and
    264 * 3 = 782

    Bonus math problems.

      they are all off by 100, 1, and 10 respectfully; so we can say it was deliberate for whatever their reasoning may be.

      2nd one is 18-5 not 2. Looks like in the initial equation they forgot to carry the one, probably because it’d make the label look stupider than it already is.

    I mean… 1066 was also the Battle of Hastings and the Norman conquest of England 🤷. Maybe it’s deep wine satire implying the French can’t count?

    If you can’t even do basic math on the label, then how can I trust you to have not fucked up the actual product? I’ll stick to whiskey.
