With a heavy heart 🤍
We are deeply saddened by the tragic accident that occurred in Switzerland on December 31st.
Our thoughts go to the victims, their families, and everyone affected by this heartbreaking event.
According to what has been reported, this tragedy was linked to the use of luces de bengala (sparklers) as part of a show while serving champagne bottles. What was meant to create celebration and spectacle instead led to irreversible consequences.
As professionals in wine, cocktails, and hospitality, this is a moment for reflection.
This tragedy reminds us that no visual effect or performance is worth risking lives.
We must learn from this experience and collectively refuse practices that can lead to accidents, severe injuries, or loss of life. Safety, responsibility, and respect for human life must always come first—above trends, showmanship, or social media moments.
At Winetails Avec Gabriela, we believe that true elegance lies in care, awareness, and professionalism.
May this tragedy lead to stronger standards, better education, and a commitment to never allow situations that can hurt people forever.
