Septiembre: returning to routine without giving up pleasure
September feels a bit like a beginning and a bit like a farewell. Summer starts packing its bags, the holidays slip into the past, and little by little we recover our schedules, work, school, university, and those small routines we had put on pause for a few weeks.
But September also has its charm. Temperatures still invite us to enjoy the outdoors, terraces remain full, and the afternoons still hold that special summer light. It’s a month of transition, of coming back… but without rushing too much.
And what better way to accompany this return than with a selection that also plays with contrasts. We’ll find fresh, elegant options that still preserve the summer spirit, perfect for a sunny aperitif or a light meal. But more serious, structured profiles also begin to appear—those that remind us that autumn is getting closer.
September is also harvest time. Vineyards begin to fill with activity, grapes reach their decisive moment, and the countryside prepares to transform a new crop into future wines. Meanwhile, we can enjoy the results of previous vintages and raise a glass to everything that lies ahead.
And if there’s something that makes returning to routine more bearable, it’s recovering small rituals. Weekend vermouth, a well‑poured beer after work, a shared glass at the end of the day, or a gin to stretch out a conversation as night falls.
Besides, September also means the return of football. A new league season begins, matches come back, gatherings with friends, nerves, celebrations, and that classic dilemma of what to put on the table while the ball rolls.
Because returning to normal doesn’t mean giving up enjoyment. On the contrary: perhaps after the holidays we learn to appreciate even more those small moments that make any ordinary day feel special.
September is the month of returning, but also of discovering a new way to enjoy routine.
Find the full selection from Dieter and discover the perfect glass to accompany this new beginning. Summer may be coming to an end, but there are still plenty of reasons to raise a toast.
