Sci., 2015, Vol. 65, No. 2, pp. 137–142 DOI: 10.1515/pjfns-2015-0006 http://journal.pan.olsztyn.pl Original article Section: Food Quality and Functionality Infl uence of Sweetness and Ethanol Content on Mead Acceptability Teresa Gomes, Teresa Dias, Vasco Cadavez, João Verdial, Jorge Sá Morais, Elsa Ramalhosa*, Letícia M. Estevinho Mountain Research Centre (CIMO), ESA - Polytechnic Institute of Bragança, Campus de Stª Apolónia, Apartado 1172, 5301–855 Bragança, Bragança, Portugal Key words: mead, sweetness, ethanol content, fermentations, sensory analysis Mead is a traditional alcoholic beverage obtained by fermenting mead wort; however, its production still remains frequently an empirical exercise. Different meads can be produced, depending on fermentation conditions. Nevertheless, to date few studies have been developed on factors that may infl uence mead quality. The main objective of this work was to study the infl uence of sweetness and ethanol content on mead acceptability. Different meads were produced with two sweetness levels (sweet and dry meads) and three ethanol contents (18, 20, 22% (v/v)), adjusted by brandy addition. Afterwards, meads acceptability was evaluated by sensory analysis through a consumers’ panel (n=108) along with chemical analysis by HPLC-RID of glucose, fructose, ethanol, glycerol and acetic acid. The sweet (75 gglucose+fructose/L) and dry (23 gglucose+fructose/L) meads presented glycerol contents equal to 5.10±0.54 and 5.96±0.95 g/L, respectively, that were desirable since glycerol improves mead quality. Low concentrations of acetic acid were determined (0.46±0.08 and 0.57±0.09 g/L), avoiding the vinegar off-character.

  • Types of Cheap Wine Singapore
    Types of cheap wine Singapore • Wines are an exotic lot. They provide a pleasant high as well as few health benefits in right doses. • It is considered as a style statement and it is also considered class apart from other alcohol available in the market. • This does make it more expensive of the lot, but less expensive ones are also available all over the world. When you buy cheap wine Singapore, you get to experience those wines. Grapes are the fruits which are used to make wines. Yeast helps in the fermentation and gives it the intoxicating power. Different varieties of grapes can be used to produce different types of wine. The natural chemical balance of grapes lets them ferment without the addition of sugars, acids, enzymes, water, or other nutrients. Yeast consumes the sugars in the grapes and converts them into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The term "wine" can also refer to starch-fermented or fortified beverages having higher alcohol content, such as barley wine, huangjiu, or sake. • Typically, the type of grape that is used to make the wine gives the drink its name, such as Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. • However, some ones are blends of various types of these, such as a Semillon Chardonnay. The blending of these drinks to produce a given flavour is part of the art of making. • To buy wine online Singapore means to taste these exotic wines. • Regulations govern the classification and sale of wine in many regions of the world. European ones tend to be classified by region (e.g.

  • Tutored Wine Tasting
    Tutored Wine Tasting PORT Speaker: Eric LAGRE Sommelier Port is the classic fortified wine from the Douro, the name of which derives from Oporto (Porto), the second largest city in Portugal, whence the wine has been shipped for over 300 years. Remains of stone troughs for the fermentation of foot-trodden grapes dating back to at least the 3 rd and 4 th centuries can be found throughout the Douro Valley, upstream from Oporto. But the denomination “Porto/Port”, however, only appeared during the second half of the 17 th century, coinciding with a boom in viticulture and wine export initiated by English merchants. Port has actually often been described as the archetypal wine of the British, and the reason for that is not difficult to discover: Port was created by the British for the British market. HISTORY The 1386 Treaty of Windsor was the first of a series of treaties to build strong and active links between Portuguese coastal cities and London. By the time of the reign of Henry VII, the English had established businesses and trade associations benefiting from certain diplomatic privileges in the ports of Lisbon, Oporto, and most importantly, as far as the wine trade was concerned, Viana do Castelo, in the Minho, right to the north of the county. Portuguese wines were often traded for woollen goods from England or dried, salted cod from Newfoundland, bacalhau thus becoming a staple of Portuguese cuisine. Since the thin and astringent Vinho Verde of the Minho was not a wine to the liking of the English consumer, English merchants would rely on Portugal only when needed, mostly because it was the easiest option in terms of shipment.

  • Port Wine: Production and Ageing Juliana Milheiro, Fernanda Cosme, Luís Filipe-Ribeiro and Fernando M
    Chapter Port Wine: Production and Ageing Juliana Milheiro, Fernanda Cosme, Luís Filipe-Ribeiro and Fernando M. Nunes Abstract Port wine is a traditional and worldwide renowned fortified wine produced in the Douro Demarcated Region (DDR) Northeast of Portugal by specific and tradi- tional winemaking practices. The final quality and uniqueness of the different Port wine styles are highly dependent on the ageing process, namely time, temperature and oxygen levels that will ultimately dictate the type and extension of the chemical changes that occur during this process. These chemical changes occurring during the Port wine ageing process results in significant changes in colour and aroma according to the different ageing conditions employed for the different Port wine styles. This chapter intends to give a broad and generic overview of the known and potential chemical changes occurring during ageing of Port wine that are respon- sible for the changes in the sensory profile observed during the ageing process. Also, the known chromatic and aromatic characteristics of the different Port wine styles and the specific ageing processes, reductive or oxidative, are reviewed. Keywords: Port wine, Douro Demarcated Region, ageing process, colour, aroma 1. Introduction Port wine is a traditional fortified wine produced in the Douro Demarcated Region (Northeast of Portugal in the Douro Valley, Figure 1) under very specific conditions. There are several Port wine styles being related to the winemaking and ageing process and also to the ageing time, which enhances uniqueness to the wines and recognition throughout the world. The Douro Demarcated Region is located within the Douro River basin, surrounded by mountains, having a total area of approximately 250,000 hectares.

In 1914, the last normal year, before the war and prohibition, while France was consuming 32 gallons per person, Italy 25, and Spain 18.5, the per capita wine consumption of the United States was less than one-half gallon. It has been said that many more people in the United States are wine-drinkers now because prohibition did not forbid wine making in homes and, that given ten more years of prohibition enforcement we would have become prolific users of wine. If this is only partially true, United States wineries and importers will find our people increasingly good customers when prohibition is repealed, and it seems probable that a sizable volume of newspaper advertising will gradually deve lop.

  • Making Port Wine
    Making Port Wine Authentic red port may be made from many grapes, mainly Tinta Barroca, Tina Cao, Bastardo, Tempranillo and others. In California Zinfandel or even Syrah make fine ports. The technique below is universal, and may produce a Ruby port (aged in steel, glass or oak for two to 4 years), or a Tawny port (aged in oak, without topping for several years). Tawny port will lose color and may be blended with other ports to suit the winemaker. Technique: 1. Harvest late at an elevated brix (26 to 30 will do). This is to augment the short primary fermentation time and to maximize the fruit’s natural alcohol production. Fruit should be overripe, but no raisins. 2. Aerate the must well prior to and during inoculation. Choose the yeast carefully; select a yeast that is easy to kill with alcohol. Consider reducing yeast nutrients. Sulfite as normal. But bear in mind that the late harvest fruit is probably at a high pH which can will greatly reduce the effectiveness of sulfites. Color extraction can be a problem, so consider cold soaking (after sulfiting) and/or supplementing the must with OptiRED or pectic enzyme. 3. At 10 to 12 brix, juice should be at 9.5 to 10.5% abv (Alcohol by Volume). Once the juice reaches the target brix; say 11°, fortify the must or juice per formula below. Final alcohol content fo the finished port should be 18.5 to 20% abv. 4. Fortify with grape neutral spirits (GNS) at 190-proof (95% abv), or use aged or unaged brandy at 140-proof (70% abv) or above.

  • SAKE: Its Culture, History and ‘Need to Know’ Facts
    SAKE: Its Culture, History and ‘Need to Know’ facts Sake, also known as Nihon Shu or Seishu, has been drunk for around 2,000 years and reflects the deep relationship that Japanese culture and society has with this drink. It is a wonderful beverage - clean, delicious, mostly vegan with low acidity and no chemicals added, which is now enjoyed by millions of people around the world. Today sake is no longer just found in Japanese and Chinese eateries but is fast becoming a fashionable drink with sales being established by distributors globally mainly in the USA and the Far East. Sake can now be found on many wine and drinks lists and even on the wine lists of Michelin starred restaurants, albeit in many cases on the last page! But this demonstrates advances that have been made in its acceptance in most big cities around the world. 21st century Japan sees sake bars, or izakayas (as they are known in Japan), and even Philip Starck style drinking holes in atmosphere-less malls, serving a multitude of sakes including draft from numbered (no name) sealed aluminium kegs. Namazake are the freshest kind of sakes with a very short shelf-life and unpasteurised. The world’s longest sake vending machine with 93 sakes on tap at the Ponshukan Sake Museum (ぽんしゅ館) The early years Originally from China, the simple rice wine was brought into Japan around 7AD. Records dating back to the third century show that an intoxicating drink, called kuchikami (a mouth chewed sake), was made by young maidens chewing grains, such as millet, rice, chestnuts and acorns.
