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.

For those not familiar with the Merivale name; this is a restaurant and bar group owned by Justin Hemmes, who has added a level of style, elegance and sophistication in Sydney that everyone else is trying to emulate. Adrian is one of Merivale’s senior Sommeliers and has recently taken his spittoon to the “The Paddington”; a great new venue in the heart of Oxford St. The wines Adrian has chosen are quite full bodied, perfect heading into the cooler months, but they are also elegant and sophisticated. Wines to drink over lazy, long lunches and decadent, indulgent dinner parties. Excited? ... So are we. We’ve been saying for a while that Chardonnay is the new black. It has been a long time since we have sent a Chardonnay in our Sommelier Selections, but it has been worth the wait. and flavour and the 2013 Journey Yarra Valley Chardonnay is a prime But first, a bit of history. Chardonnay was first released in Australia by example of this “New New” style. Tyrrell’s Wines back in 1971; so it has a fairly recent history. This new style of wine quickly gained popularity, such that, in the late 1980’s it was as Journey wines is the love child of Damien North, a Sommelier turned ubiquitous as Sauvignon Blanc is today.

  • Wine Industry Market Strategies. Case Study: Lacerta Winery
    Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov Series V: Economic Sciences • Vol. 9 (58) No. 2 - 2016 Wine industry market strategies. Case study: Lacerta Winery Nicoleta Andreea NEACŞU1, Anca MADAR2 Abstract: Wine market in Romania is in constant development. More and more manufacturers appear on the market, and the competition is increasingly fierce. Although it has an area of the largest planted with vines, Romania is not distinguished among major exporters. Using EU funds made available, new manufacturers appear who developed the premium wine sector. Among the investments carried out in recent years in this sector is Lacerta Winery, an Austrian investment, which sold the first wine under the brand Lacerta in 2011. Key-words: wine, quality, marketing strategy, consumers, competition 1. Introduction The European Union remains the world's biggest wine producer, producing around 60% of world production of wine. Wine is not a commodity: Each type of wine even produced within the same area has specific particularities. The quality and price of a same wine produced in another year can differ from the one produced this year. Appreciation and consumption of a certain type of wine also depends of cultural aspects and is also bound to trends (http://ec.europa.eu/agriculture/wine). Even with a stable production potential, European wine production varies a lot from year to year (Yields +20% / -20%) highly influenced by weather conditions and/or sanitary conditions of the vines. Furthermore wine producers are able to increase or decrease the wine production depending on the market situation forecasts. Yield variations in Spain resulted in 2012 to a total harvest situated 15% below 5-year average whereas 2013 wine harvest ended 38% above the same 5-year average resulting in a harvest twice as important as the previous year (+55%)(http://ec.europa.eu/agriculture/wine).

  • Addendum Regarding: the 2021 Certified Specialist of Wine Study Guide, As Published by the Society of Wine Educators
    Addendum regarding: The 2021 Certified Specialist of Wine Study Guide, as published by the Society of Wine Educators This document outlines the substantive changes to the 2021 Study Guide as compared to the 2020 version of the CSW Study Guide. All page numbers reference the 2020 version. Note: Many of our regional wine maps have been updated. The new maps are available on SWE’s blog, Wine, Wit, and Wisdom, at the following address: http://winewitandwisdomswe.com/wine-spirits- maps/swe-wine-maps-2021/ Page 15: The third paragraph under the heading “TCA” has been updated to read as follows: TCA is highly persistent. If it saturates any part of a winery’s environment (barrels, cardboard boxes, or even the winery’s walls), it can even be transferred into wines that are sealed with screw caps or artificial corks. Thankfully, recent technological breakthroughs have shown promise, and some cork producers are predicting the eradication of cork taint in the next few years. In the meantime, while most industry experts agree that the incidence of cork taint has fallen in recent years, an exact figure has not been agreed upon. Current reports of cork taint vary widely, from a low of 1% to a high of 8% of the bottles produced each year. Page 16: the entry for Geranium fault was updated to read as follows: Geranium fault: An odor resembling crushed geranium leaves (which can be overwhelming); normally caused by the metabolism of sorbic acid (derived from potassium sorbate, a preservative) via lactic acid bacteria (as used for malolactic fermentation) Page 22: the entry under the heading “clone” was updated to read as follows: In commercial viticulture, virtually all grape varieties are reproduced via vegetative propagation.

  • Procesul De Eliminare a Chiaburilor Din Structura Socială
    MUZEUL JUDEŢEAN ARGEŞ ARGESIS, STUDII ŞI COMUNICĂRI, seria ISTORIE, TOM XXVIII, 2019, p. 301-310 PROCESUL DE ELIMINARE A CHIABURILOR DIN STRUCTURA SOCIALĂ. APLICAREA DECRETULUI 115/1959 ÎN JUDEȚUL TELEORMAN MIHAI CĂTĂLIN ZARZĂRĂ* La 30 martie 1959 este publicat Decretul 115 pentru lichidarea rămășițelor oricăror forme de exploatare a omului de către om în agricultură, în scopul ridicării continue a nivelului de trai material și cultural al țărănimii muncitoare și al dezvoltării construcției socialiste. În conținutul decretului se preciza că peste 2 milioane de familii țărănești din totalul de circa 3.600.000 făceau parte din gospodăriile agricole colective și întovărășirile agricole, care împreună cu gospodăriile agricole de stat cuprindeau peste 8.400.000 de ha ceea ce reprezenta mai mult de 60% din totalul suprafeței agricole. Decretul avea menirea de a da lovitura de grație acelor proprietari care mai dețineau încă terenuri agricole și refuzau intrarea în colectiv, dorindu-se finalizarea procesului de colectivizare a agriculturii, început în martie 1949. Conform acestui decret, chiaburilor, care aveau terenuri agricole a căror întindere, conform estimărilor conducătorilor comuniști, depășea puterea de muncă a chiaburului, precum și cea a membrilor familiei cu care duc gospodăria împreună, li se interzicea darea în parte sau în arendă a terenurilor agricole precum și orice altfel de exploatare a muncii străine. Conform art. 2 terenurile vizate și aparținând chiaburilor erau următoarele: - terenurile lăsate nelucrate mai mult de un an, - terenurile nedeclarate în registrul agricol, - terenurile date în arendă sau în parte în condițiile în care întinderea acestora depășea puterea de muncă a proprietarului și a membrilor cu care duce gospodăria împreună.

  • Romanian Wine Production Poised to Contract in 2014 Romania
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 1/30/2015 GAIN Report Number: RO1503 Romania Post: Bucharest Romanian Wine Production poised to contract in 2014 Report Categories: Wine Approved By: Russ Nicely Prepared By: Monica Dobrescu Report Highlights: Romanian wine production is predicted to decline by about 30 percent, as a result of diminished grape production brought on by frequent rains and moisture. Per capita consumption for 2013 reached a level of 21.7 liters/person, about 3 percent above the previous year’s level. White wines remain the most popular wines in Romania, followed by red wines and rosé wines. The value of U.S. wine exports on the Romanian market exceeds U.S. $ 120,000. General Information: PRODUCTION Romanian vineyards are geographically distributed in eight regions and total 37 vineyards. At the EU level, Romania is the sixth EU wine producer, after Italy, France, Spain, Germany and Portugal. In 2013 Romanian vineyards enjoyed very favorable climatic conditions of a mild winter, no late frosts, sunny days, no hail but adequate rainfall that all contributed to an abundant grape production. This situation changed in 2014, when Romanian vineyards encountered many challenges due to adverse weather conditions. Heavy, continuous rains, with hail episodes have been an impediment for the development of the vineyards, as the weather led to the development of diseases in some regions or serious vineyard damage in others. Where weather allowed access to the field for applying the needed plant treatments, these additional plant treatments led to an increased cost of production.
