March 15, 2025 - Incredible, the first website about kalimotxo reaches 30 years on the Web!!
On March 15, 1995 the very first webpage about kalimotxo was created; since 2017 it is thus recognized in Wikipedia. I would like to thank so many funny comments and contributions I got about this page and drink, as well as so many well-known and well-unknown people who drink kalimotxo with me along these three decades. What about doing it for another 30 years more?

August 12, 2022 It is 50 years since the word "kalimotxo" was invented in Algorta (Vizcaya). Notice that it is just about the name "kalimotxo", the origin of the first mix of red wine and coke is and will remain unknown. Anyway, it is half a century drinking kalimotxo, an amazing milestone!!
Therefore, it is a good date to perform a major restructuration of the website, from a single page to a page per section.
