E l prohibition regime at weekends which prevailed in Penco for several years was not in any way an obstacle to buying wine. By contrast, the measure rather than moderating consumption seemed to increase. Even encourage creativity both buyers and retailers because they had to circumvent the ban. The first they knew how to walk the streets to avoid the police, they also knew how to hide the bottles - wrapped in newspaper, and second, the sellers created false entries to their wineries to provide wine outside the law.
The order was in effect from the 14 hours on Saturday, when the curtain fell, until midnight on Sunday. Who not able to supply within the fatal hour had, fortunately, the option of using the local underground to avoid dying of thirst, even if paying more. Additionally, however, was in danger of being caught. This sale was illegal in vox populi Penco, one knew where and who sells. In these areas some call the pharmacy. Unusual
was to enter these premises by the false doors call it living in the house, the entrance to the dining room, the kitchen or a patio portoncito. The surprise awaited in the space provided by the retailer for the sale of wine: a dark room and seedy, a barbecue, garage, shack. The site was most of the time with a good turnout of parishioners who talked about the most diverse, playing cards or hopscotch skills involved in outdoor site within the property and along the garden, the garden or the house. What was missing was not the pitcher of wine in hand. All present were always cufifos except the local owner who face apparent concern with looking out the window when police appeared. If that were to happen there was a plan to avoid the penalty: quickly remove the glasses and jugs, nothing has happened here.
But illegal immigrants who would remain there only to buy what will last filling bottle, and paid back to the street, with the container in newspaper aforrado. The owner looked out the door first, looking in all directions, as was clear on the coast, gently pushing the buyer to get out fast and we walked to the house, if you've seen I do not remember.
The above were established vendors and their patents to date, just not willing to lose market because of a legal provision. There were other, smaller rides buying wine in jugs and he drew four times the cost expended appropriately named wine. Were the least sold at home and preferred to attend to their thirsty customers at night, because was safer. So passed
weekends and holidays for those evading the law fifties to toast with a glass of Pipeño.
