Origin
Red wine and cola were combined in Basque Country as early as the 1920s, but Coca-Cola was not widely available. That changed in 1953, when the first Coca-Cola factory opened in Spain. The combination was given various names, until 1972 when its mass usage at a festival in Algorta, Biscay led to it being christened the kalimotxo,<ref name=":0">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> a playful combination of the two creators' nicknames, Kalimero and Motxongo.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
It has since become a classic of the Basque Country region<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and in the rest of Spain in large part due to its simple mixture, accessibility of ingredients, and low cost.<ref>Template:Citation</ref>
