  • 1. from the Beginnings to 1000 Ce
    1. From the Beginnings to 1000 ce As the history of French wine was beginning, about twenty-five hundred years ago, both of the key elements were missing: there was no geographi- cal or political entity called France, and no wine was made on the territory that was to become France. As far as we know, the Celtic populations living there did not produce wine from any of the varieties of grapes that grew wild in many parts of their land, although they might well have eaten them fresh. They did cultivate barley, wheat, and other cereals to ferment into beer, which they drank, along with water, as part of their daily diet. They also fermented honey (for mead) and perhaps other produce. In cultural terms it was a far cry from the nineteenth century, when France had assumed a national identity and wine was not only integral to notions of French culture and civilization but held up as one of the impor- tant influences on the character of the French and the success of their nation. Two and a half thousand years before that, the arbiters of culture and civilization were Greece and Rome, and they looked upon beer- drinking peoples, such as the Celts of ancient France, as barbarians. Wine was part of the commercial and civilizing missions of the Greeks and Romans, who introduced it to their new colonies and later planted vine- yards in them. When they and the Etruscans brought wine and viticulture to the Celts of ancient France, they began the history of French wine.

REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT TO THE PRODUCT SPECIFICATION ‘DEALU MARE’ PDO-RO-A1079 — AM01 Date of application: 3.8.2017 1. Rules applicable to the amendment Article 105 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 — Non-minor modification 2. Description and reasons for amendment 2.1. Changes have been made to the yield of certain wine-making varieties Certain wine-making varieties covered by the specification have the potential to produce higher yields under this controlled designation of origin, and it is therefore necessary to modify the yields, increasing them for the varieties Crâmpoșie selecționată, Negru de Drăgășani and Pinot gris. The section ‘Maximum yields’ of the single document and the Chapter IV of the specification relating to wine-growing and wine production are amended. 2.2. The demarcated area of production has been modified to include two municipalities with their component villages Located in the Prahova County, the municipalities of Apostolache and Iordăcheanu, together with their component villages of Iordăcheanu, Mocești and Plavia, have similar climate and terrain characteristics to the rest of the area, and they must therefore be included in the geographical area of the designation of origin.

  • Vina Croatia
    Wines of CROATIA unique and exciting Croatia as a AUSTRIA modern country HUNGARY SLOVENIA CROATIA Croatia, having been eager to experience immediate changes, success and recognition, has, at the beginning of a new decade, totally altered its approach to life and business. A strong desire to earn quick money as well as rapid trade expansion have been replaced by more moderate, longer-term investment projects in the areas of viticulture, rural tourism, family hotels, fisheries, olive growing, ecological agriculture and superior restaurants. BOSNIA & The strong first impression of international brands has been replaced by turning to traditional HERZEGOVINA products, having their origins in a deep historic heritage. The expansion of fast-food chains was brought to a halt in the mid-1990’s as multinational companies understood that investment would not be returned as quickly as had been planned. More ambitious restaurants transformed into centres of hedonism, whereas small, thematic ones offering several fresh and well-prepared dishes are visited every day. Tradition and a return to nature are now popular ITALY Viticulture has been fully developed. Having superior technology at their disposal, a new generation of well-educated winemakers show firm personal convictions and aims with clear goals. The rapid growth of international wine varietals has been hindered while local varietals that were almost on the verge of extinction, have gradually gained in importance. Not only have the most prominent European regions shared their experience, but the world’s renowned wine experts have offered their consulting services. Biodynamic movement has been very brisk with every wine region bursting with life.
