Spread the news

Ethanol from distillers can save lives! Forward this information to whoever is a distiller or has ethanol. Hospital and people are missing disinfectant. And the most important gesture right now is to keep clean hands and not touch our face, and of course, social distancing.

All over the world, if you are a producer of spirits,know that you can save lives by giving or selling your ethanol!

Contact your nearest hospital or call the government sanitary offices of your country, they will guide you to do this.

Please be careful to whom you give your ethanol to. People are taking advantage of the situation by selling very high price hand sanitizer and disinfectant.

Ethanol is a virucide in a 65-80% ethanol hydroalcoholic solution. One liter of pure ethanol is equivalent to 500 hand washes. The objective is to inform about local initiatives such as large mobilizations. Modes of mobilization: ethanol production, hydroalcoholic solutions for cutaneous and surface use, partnerships, etc.

 

Never before has eau-de-vie worn its name so well…

Here are a few distilleries, companies and groups of spirits, breweries, producers, winemakers who are providing support during the crisis.

And thanks to all those we have not listed yet. Feel free to send us your news regarding the Covid-19.
