  • Wine Tourism As a Great Opportunity for Georgia
    European Scientific Journal December 2016 /SPECIAL/ edition ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 Wine Tourism as a Great Opportunity for Georgia Maia Meladze, Associate Professor Grigol Robakidze University, Tbilisi, Georgia Abstract In a region with such an extensive wine history and culture, wine and food will be an important component of tourism. As more ventures get off the ground, Georgia will develop a critical mass of wine tourism offerings. Georgia's traditional winemaking method of fermenting grapes in earthenware, egg-shaped vessels has been added to the world heritage list of UNESCO. Georgia’s ancient wine culture has seen a revival in recent years. Winemakers have realized that their traditional method of qvevri winemaking is one of their most valuable assets. In the last decade, wine tourism has become a key component of gastronomy tourism and a pillar in the strategies of diversification of many destinations. The quality, styles, and value of Georgian wine available internationally will stimulate interest in Georgian wine tourism, more so than vice versa. Keywords: Wine; Qvevri wine; Wine tourism; Georgia Introduction Nobody knows when and how exactly the first grapevine was cultivated in Georgia, but earliest archeological evidence of viniculture that was discovered in Georgia dates back to 6,000 B.C. The statue of bronze man (height 7.5 cm) was found in Vani region (Georgia) excavation. It is a man sitting in the arm-chair with a drinking- horn in his right hand. One has the impression that he is proposing a toast. The period of this statue’s origin is considered to be VII-VI centuries BC.

  • Multi-Sensor Characterization of Sparkling Wines Based on Data Fusion
    chemosensors Article Multi-Sensor Characterization of Sparkling Wines Based on Data Fusion Anais Izquierdo-Llopart 1 and Javier Saurina 1,2,* 1 Department of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Chemistry, University of Barcelona, 08028 Barcelona, Spain; [email protected] 2 Research Institute in Food Nutrition and Food Safety, University of Barcelona, Av. Prat de la Riba 171, Edifici Recerca (Gaudí), E08921 Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Spain * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: This paper is focused on the assessment of a multi-sensor approach to improve the overall characterization of sparkling wines (cava wines). Multi-sensor, low-level data fusion can provide more comprehensive and more accurate vision of results compared with the study of simpler data sets from individual techniques. Data from different instrumental platforms were combined in an enriched matrix, integrating information from spectroscopic (UV/Vis and FTIR), chromatographic, and other techniques. Sparkling wines belonging to different classes, which differed in the grape varieties, coupages, and wine-making processes, were analyzed to determine organic acids (e.g., tartaric, lactic, malic, and acetic acids), pH, total acidity, polyphenols, total antioxidant capacity, ethanol, or reducing sugars. The resulting compositional values were treated chemometrically for a more efficient recovery of the underlaying information. In this regard, exploratory methods such as principal component analysis showed that phenolic compounds were dependent on varietal and blending issues while organic acids were more affected by fermentation features. The analysis of the Citation: Izquierdo-Llopart, A.; multi-sensor data set provided a more comprehensive description of cavas according to grape classes, Saurina, J. Multi-Sensor blends, and vinification processes.

  • Information About Australia Can Increase the Choice of Australian Wines by Chinese Consumers
    CHINA BUSINESS & MARKETING Thinking outside the bottle: information about Australia can increase the choice of Australian wines by Chinese consumers By Patricia Osidacz Williamson1, Simone Mueller Loose2, Larry Lockshin2 and Leigh Francis1 1The Australian Wine Research Institute, PO Box 197, Glen Osmond, South Australia 5064 2Ehrenberg-Bass Institute for Marketing Science, University of South Australia ____ Many Australian wine producers are targeting China as a new market. With a population of more than 1.3 billion and a growing middle class, the potential for wine sales in China is huge. However, cultural differences and competition from other wine-producing countries are all barriers to be overcome. Research on wine consumer behaviour in China, including the factors that influence choice of Australian wines, can assist Australian wine producers in their efforts to break into this important market. HOW DO CONSUMERS CHOOSE WINES?

  • Sparkling Wine - How Bubblies of the World Are Created (And Enjoyed)
    Search EzineArticles.com Search Join About Us Contact Us Expert Authors Ask Chris Knight Join Sign in Sparkling Wine - How Bubblies of the World Are Created (And Enjoyed) By Daniel Pambianchi | Submitted On May 20, 2009 0 "In victory, you deserve Champagne, in defeat, you need it." - Napoleon Bonaparte Champagne was not only made popular by such great quotes, but also by celebrity endorsements or excesses. It's no secret that Agent 007 James Bond always had a strong penchant for Bollinger Champagne (and vodka). And it has been reported that Marilyn Monroe once filled up her tub with 350 bottles of Champagne, and took a long, luxurious bath in it. Champagne, the dry sparkling wine from the northeastern French region (east of Paris) bearing the same name, has long been considered the ultimate beverage of choice to raise a toast or to celebrate a special occasion. Its image as a celebratory drink and the high price of Champagne coupled with North Americans' preference for sweeter style drinks have sent the image and sales spiraling down over the years. Fortunately, with the proliferation of inexpensive and both dry and off-dry sparkling wines from almost every wine-producing region of the world, bubbly is slowly regaining some of its lost popularity. Gone are the days when sparkling wine was only drunk to mark a special occasion or to pair with luxurious delicacies such as caviar. Sparkling wine makes an excellent aperitif on its own or with simple hors d'oeuvres, seafood entrees or sushi, or it can be enjoyed with dessert if the wine is off-dry or sweet.
