Making wine is straightforward; simply let the yeast metabolise the grape sugars into alcohol until it runs out of nourishment and dies. But since that process always results into dry wines, one had to demonstrate sophisticated levels of human ingenuity to achieve sweetness in their wines. It was discovered that, by concentrating the sugars in the fermenting juice, the relentlessly sugar-rich environment would eventually mix with the increasing level of alcohol into a poisonous cocktail fatal to the ferment. Two techniques were used to concentrate the sugars in grape juice and make the first sweet wines; either that juice was simmered down in a process known as inspissation , as in the cooked wines of the French region of Provence, or grapes were picked early then air-dried in a process known as appassimento in Italy or soleo in Spain, as in the raisin wines of the Italian island of Pantelleria off the Tunisian coast. Until distillation was developed to commercial scale in the 17 th century, the sweet wines of the Mediterranean dominated the international market. By artificially elevating the alcohol level in wine at any stage of the fermentation process through mutage , an addition of raw brandy, fortified wines such as Port, Sherry and Madeira came to light. Mutage is the most potent way to stabilise wine, as demonstrated by Pineau des Charentes, which is no more than fortified unfermented grape juice. Then, in the turn of the 20 th century, filtration became so fine that the yeast could be taken out of the equation altogether. Hardly has Moscato d'Asti had time to develop bubbles and alcohol that it is filtered clean then bottled, free of any risk of secondary fermentation. Mutage and filtration achieve levels of aromatic freshness virtually unseen in sweet wines before. But one issue is balance. The former style is often dominated by the fiery potency of brandy whilst the latter can prove sickly. If sugary sweetness isn’t an issue, why not add sugar? Because regulations prohibit it! Only Champagne can legally be finished with a dosage of rectified grape must and cane syrup today. The most terroir-driven way to achieve sweetness in wine is to leave the grapes hanging on the vine and let nature do the concentrating job. The resulting wines truly reflect vintage variations, but never to the expense of balance. A late-harvest wine like German Sp ätlese is the primordial expression of the internal bio-chemical transformations which occur within the slightly translucent and shrivelled golden berries when the vine enters dormancy. As the weather then externally impacts on the physiology of those berries, three derivative styles will take shape. Cool and breezy conditions will turn the over-matured grapes into raisins without compromising their acidity in a process known as passerillage , as in South Africa’s legendary Constantia Wyn. By naturally freezing their water content, deep frost will yield Eiswein or Icewine, which won’t be produced commercially before the advent of the pneumatic press in the 1950s. A combination of humidity and marked diurnal temperature variations will ultimately trigger the botrytisation process that was exploited for the first time in Ottoman Hungary to make Tokaji. Trying to speed these processes up in the comfort of a winery will always result in simpler wines with more dried-fruit aromas and less tartaric freshness of acidity! And since the risk and cost of leaving the grapes exposed to the whim of the elements, diseases and voracity of wildlife with longer hang times means that late-harvested wines never come cheap, be suspicious of sweet wines with a low price tag! As for extended maturation in wood, the process can alter sweetness levels either way. An unfortified sweet wine like Vin Santo from northern Italy will become drier and drier each time fermentation resumes with every new warm season over the many years the cask sits in the loft of the winery, whereas Rutherglen wines and PX Sherry, which are stabilised through mutage, will concentrate their sugars through ageing .

Even though copper helps heat the must evenly, one must keep the grape juice under boiling point and stir it constantly to avoid burnt flavours. The scum that rises to the surface must be removed regularly to avoid bitterness. After up to two days of gentle simmering, the juice becomes reduced by 1/3. If the smoke from the wood fire departs its own character to the wine, Vin Cuit is not a mulled wine, nor is it a fortified wine. No sugar, grape spirit or flavouring is added at any stage. Once cool, the reduction is naturally fermented in stainless steel vats. It is so rich in natural sugars that fermentation is slow; it took one month in this instance, but it can take up to one year. Fermentation eventually stops by itself when the level of residual sugars is still high. Malolactic fermentation soon follows. Here, the wine is filtered then bottled just in time for Christmas, but many producers will age Vin Cuit in used oak barrels for up to 5 years. Assemblage: 100% Grenache Vin Cuit is usually a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Cinsault and Rolle Alcohol: 12%abv Vin Cuit reaches 14%abv on average as the wine is usually fermented for longer Residual Sugar: 180 g/l Vin Cuit usually retains 90 g/l of residual sugars as one allows more sugars to turn into alcohol Total Acidity: 4.25 g/l PH: 3.66 Stopper: Natural cork Capacity: 75cl Retail price: £30 inc. VAT The wine is not available in the UK and had to be bought direct hence the price is a guesstimate The grape vine was domesticated in the Caucasus around 4,000 BC. From that time onwards, wine culture spread throughout the Ancient World, starting with the Fertile Crescent then Classical Greece and the Balkans, before reaching every corner of the empire during the Roman conquest. If most dry wines were very prone to spoilage in those days, sweet wines achieved such a high alcohol and sugar content that they proved stable-enough to travel hence the history of the wine trade in the Ancient World could easily be summed up to a history of sweet wines. Italy was and still remains the stronghold of an ancient tradition that gave winemakers two ways to concentrate sugars in wine; either grape juice was simmered down over an open flame to evaporate its water contend in a process known as inspissation to make a style of cooked wine called Carenum, now known as Vino Cotto, or the grape clusters were air-dried in sunshine in a process known as appassimento in Italy (or Soleo in Spain) to make a style of raisin wine called Passum, now known as Passito. Carenum was obtained by fermenting a grape juice reduction by 1/3. Since a reduction by half was too sugar-rich to ferment, the Romans would only use such Defructum to force dry wines.

Classic and expressive dry Riesling. Producer Note The legendary Schloss Johannisberg is steeped in history. The vineyards were planted on the orders of the Roman Emperor Charlemagne. Planted solely with Riesling grapes in 1720, Schloss Johannisberg was the world's first Riesling Estate and plays a significant part in wine history. It was here in 1775 that the Spätlese quality was discovered using late picked grapes suffering from "noble rot". Following this discovery, in 1787 the estate gave Auslese, Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese to the wine world. Schloss Johannisberg is a single vineyard designation in its own right and one of a handful of German vineyards that does not have to display a village name on the label. Vineyard The grapes come from the single vineyard of Schloss Johannisberg. The south facing vineyard is steep, with a 45° gradient and is situated at between 114 metres to 181 metres above sea level. The forest on the top of the Taunus Mountains protects the vineyard from cold winds from the north. To the south, the River Rhine gently flows in front of the estate, in the foothills of the vineyard. The 50° parallel runs directly through the vineyard and the unique soils of Taunus quartz, topped with loam and rich loess retains moisture and heat, encouraging the vines to ripen. This soil formation imparts the classic mineral characteristic which is evident in this wine.

  • Rieslings Since 1720 Schloss Johannisberg Is Celebrating “300 Years of Riesling”
    Press release Rieslings since 1720 Schloss Johannisberg is celebrating “300 Years of Riesling” Schloss Johannisberg in the Rheingau region is the first Riesling estate in the world and now combines nearly 1,200 years of wine-making history with exactly 300 years of world-class Riesling tradition. The estate with the oldest single- variety Riesling vineyard wants to celebrate this anniversary year with a varied programme of events and, in the second half of the year, also plans to invite visitors to celebrate the popular grape and its many exceptional Riesling wines together. Exclusive Riesling grower since 1720 The Schloss Johannisberg estate can look back on an eventful history that has resulted in a unique wine-making culture: Established as a Benedictine monastery in around 1100, the Johannisberger Abbey quickly became the focal point and initiator of wine-growing in the Rheingau region. In 1716, the already famous but neglected vineyard was passed to the Princely Abbey of Fulda under Prince Abbot Konstantin von Buttlar, who revitalised it from the ground up and attempted a major viticultural experiment: He replanted the estate’s vineyards with only the noblest grape in the world, the Riesling. Around 300,000 new vines were planted over the following two years. This is how the world’s first cohesive Riesling vineyard was created in 1720. Real gems from 300 years of Riesling history To this day, the oldest Schloss Johannisberger Riesling – a 1748 vintage – still lies in the Bibliotheca Subterranea, the 900-year-old cellarium and the estate’s treasure trove. Alongside are numerous precious Riesling wines created by the estate’s cellarmasters over the past 300 years.

  • Corn Syrup, Grape Syrup, Honey, (A Shengreen , 1975
    LABORATORY COMPARISON OF HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, GRAPE SYRUP, HONEY, AND SUCROSE SYRUP AS MAINTENANCE FOOD FOR CAGED HONEY BEES Roy J. BARKER Yolanda LEHNER U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Bee Research Laboratory, 2000 East Allen Road, Tucson, Arizona 85719 SUMMARY Honey or high fructose corn syrup fed to worker bees failed to show any advantage over sucrose syrup. Grape syrup caused dysentery and reduced survival. Caged bees survived longest on sucrose syrup. INTRODUCTION A commercial process utilizes glucose isomerase to convert the glucose from hydrolyzed corn starch to a mixture containing glucose and high levels of fructose (ASHENGREEN, 1975). To humans, fructose is sweeter than glucose or sucrose. Consequently, the higher the content of fructose, the lower the concentration of sugar needed to sweeten food or drinks. Thus, high fructose corn syrup is an economical sweetener for humans. Does isomerized corn syrup provide advantages in bee foods? Its sugar composition closely resembles that of honey, but isomerized sugar may not be sweeter than sucrose to honey bees. In fact, a preference of older bees for sucrose over glucose and fructose may explain why they leave hives containing stored honey to forage for nectar. Nevertheless, beekeepers generally consider honey to be unparalleled as a bee food despite its failure to sustain worker bees as long as sucrose (BARKER and LEHNER, 1974 a, b). High fructose corn syrup offers advantages besides lower cost, such as feeding convenience. Furthermore, some beekeepers find less robbing when bees are fed high fructose corn syrup instead of sucrose syrup. This may be a consequence of lower attraction.

    LAMBAESIS TO THE REIGN OF HADRIAN By DIANE MARIE HOPPER EVERMAN " Bachelor of Arts Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma December, 1977 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS July 25, 1980 -n , ,111e.5J s LAMBAESIS TO THE REIGN OF HADRIAN Thesis Approved: Dean of the Graduate College ii 10S2909 PREFACE Lambaesis was a Roman Imperial military fortress in North Africa in the modern-day nation of Algeria. Rome originally acquired the territory as a result of the defeat of Carthage in the Punic Wars. Expansion of territory and settlement of surplus population were two ideas behind its Romanization. However, North Africa's greatest asset for becoming a province was its large yield of grain. This province furnished most of the wheat for the empire. If something happened to hinder its annual production level then Rome and its provinces would face famine. Unlike most instances of acquiring territory Rome did not try to assimilate the native transhumant population. Instead these inhabitants held on to their ancestral lands until they were forcibly removed. This territory was the most agriculturally productive; unfortunately, it was also the area of seasonal migration for the native people. Lambaesis is important in this scheme because it was the base of the solitary legion in North Africa, the III Legio Augusta. After beginning in the eastern section of the province just north of the Aures Mountains the legion gradually moved west leaving a peaceful area behind. The site of Lambaesis was the III Legio Augusta's westernmost fortress.
