No i zmatowione szkło butelki do kompletu. "The range includes Carta Nevada, which became instantly popular when it was launched in 1941 in white frosted-glass bottles".
Co do nazwy bodegi, jej historii i PR-u: "For anyone arriving at San Sadurni de Noya by train, this is the first bodega they see, as its impressive buildings are next to the railway station. It is the leading Cava exporter and, with its subsidiaries, is the largest sparkling wine maker in the world. Still family-owned, it was founded by Pedro Ferrer Bosch at the beginning of the twentieth century. He was the youngest son of a family that had owned an estate called La Freixenada (in Catalan a plantation of ash trees) in the Alt Penedes since the thirteenth century. His wife was Dolores Sala Vive [she was the wine maker, was later killed by communists in the Civil War-d.] whose grandfather had founded a wine company which gave a basis for the new enterprise, in which she joined him. It was wonderfully succesfull. From the beginning it went in for imaginative advertising and was one of the first to use television. A galaxy of stars took part in its campaigns, including such names as Gene Kelly, Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras and Paul Newman"*
