Voici comment la capitale autrichienne a retourné à son avantage une série de handicaps économiques et géopolitiques. Introduction Au milieu des années 80, lorsque Vienne présenta son premier plan d’aménagement, la municipalité pensait que sa démographie était sur le déclin et entrevoyait de graves difficultés pour son économie. Mais les transformations géopolitiques amenèrent une nouvelle vague d’immigration vers la ville, qui dut s’adapter rapidement et concevoir de nouvelles initiatives. Un vent nouveau souffla sur l’aménagement urbain. La remarquable croissance démographique de Vienne sous l’effet des migrations se déroula en trois phases : • de 1989 à 1993, un rapide accroissement ; • de 2000 à 2006, une nouvelle augmentation ; • depuis 2010, un accroissement vif et régulier d’environ 22 000 personnes par an, en moyenne. -
How to Taste Wine
HOW TO TASTE WINE Presented by Presque Isle Wine Cellars Kris Kane (Winemaker) www.piwine.com Overview • Discuss why and how to taste wine – Look – Smell – Taste • Go over a tasting wheel • Look, Smell, Taste, and discuss a few wines Tasting wine • When it comes to tasting wine consider wine in three stages – Look at the wine – Smell the wine – Finally taste the wine • After tasting it is nice to have a notebook to record your thoughts about the wine How to Look • Take lighting and background into consideration • Begin by not pouring the glass to full • Hold the glass at the base and tip away from you at a 45 degree angle • Look down on it • Now what are we looking for? What we are looking for • White wines color not as important but can tell us some things – First look to see if wine is clean and bright – Make sure there is no haze or cloudiness • Throws out red flag possible flaw (contamination) – Make sure there are no crystals (tartrates), which are harmless but not aesthetically pleasing – In a still wine make sure there are no bubbles which could be signs of a refermentation • Some young whites are purposely given a small amount of CO2 for some more zip Look Continued • If deep gold yellow gives idea of possible sweet wine affected by botrytis where color and taste is concentrated (ice wines) • If clear and pale, gives idea of young cool fermented white (German Rieslings) • If sunny yellow sign of warmer climate white (Australian Chardonnay) • If brownish tinges- things not looking good – Typical sign of oxidation (sherry like taste) -
Language Planning and Textbooks in French Primary Education During the Third Republic
Rewriting the Nation: Language Planning and Textbooks in French Primary Education During the Third Republic By Celine L Maillard A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2019 Reading Committee: Douglas P Collins, Chair Maya A Smith Susan Gaylard Ana Fernandez Dobao Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of French and Italian Studies College of Arts and Sciences ©Copyright 2019 Céline L Maillard University of Washington Abstract Rewriting the Nation: Language Planning and Textbooks in French Primary Education During the Third Republic Celine L Maillard Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Douglas P Collins Department of French and Italian Studies This research investigates the rewriting of the nation in France during the Third Republic and the role played by primary schools in the process of identity formation. Le Tour de la France par deux enfants, a textbook written in 1877 by Augustine Fouillée, is our entry point to illustrate the strategies used in manufacturing French identity. We also analyze other texts: political speeches from the revolutionary era and from the Third Republic, as well as testimonies from both students and teachers written during the twentieth century. Bringing together close readings and research from various fields – history, linguistics, sociology, and philosophy – we use an interdisciplinary approach to shed light on language and national identity formation. Our findings underscore the connections between French primary education and national identity. Our analysis also contends that national identity in France during the Third Republic was an artificial construction and demonstrates how otherness was put in the service of populism. -
The Egg Test for Period Brewers and Mead Makers - Belinda Sibly (Mistress Roheisa Le Sarjent)
The Egg Test for Period Brewers and Mead Makers - Belinda Sibly (Mistress Roheisa le Sarjent) Sir Kenelm Digby, (11 July 1603 – 11 June 1665) was a 17th century English courtier, diplomat, privateer, entrepreneur, natural philosopher and inventor of the modern wine bottle, but is perhaps best know for his posthumously published cookbook, The Closet of the Eminently Learned Sir Kenelme Digbie Knight Opened. Compiled from Digby's life long collection of recipes by a close servant and published in 1669, several years after Sir Kenelm's death, it is an excellent source of period brewers recipes, especially those for honey based drinks. At least 55 of Digby's recipes (all for meads, metheglens and hydromels) contain the instruction to make your liquor “to bear an egg” or words to that effect. The same instruction appears in a mead recipe from the Danish Koge Bog of 1606, and in numerous pickling recipes of the new world colonies. Some versions are as brief as “try with a new-laid- egg” whilst others go into considerable detail. In this article I will explore those details and see how the egg test might be applied to historical brewing. How does the “Egg Test” work? The larger end of a birds egg contains an air cell that forms when the contents cool and contract after the egg is laid. A fresh egg has a relatively small air cell, but the size increases with time as the shell is very slightly porous allowing slow evaporation. An old egg has such a large air cell it will actually float in water and this is often used as the test for whether an egg is fit to eat. -
Publication of a Communication of Approval of a Standard Amendment to a Product Specification for a Name in the Wine Sector Refe
10.2.2020 EN Offi cial Jour nal of the European Union C 44/15 Publication of a communication of approval of a standard amendment to a product specification for a name in the wine sector referred to in Article 17(2) and (3) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33. (2020/C 44/07) This communication is published in accordance with Article 17(5) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33 (1). COMMUNICATING THE APPROVAL OF A STANDARD AMENDMENT ‘Coteaux de Saumur’ PDO-FR-A0179-AM01 Date of communication: 13 November 2019 DESCRIPTION OF AND REASONS FOR THE APPROVED AMENDMENT 1. Geographical name ‘Supplementary geographical name’ has been reduced to ‘geographical name’ in Chapter I points II and XII(2)(b). A number of the product specifications for Loire Valley wines allow the use of what is known as the ‘eponymous geographical designation’ — ‘Val de Loire’ — to refer to this wider region. The use of this term on wine labels is subject to specific rules laid down in those product specifications. As the term ‘supplementary geographical name’ is also used in some cases to denote smaller geographical units with more restrictive production conditions, the word ‘supplementary’ has been removed in order to prevent confusion. Point 9 of the Single Document, ‘Further conditions’, has been amended accordingly. 2. Geographical area The passage concerning the geographical area now reads as follows: All stages of production must take place in the geographical area, which spans the territories of the following municipalities, based on the 2018 -

US Premium Rosé Wine Brands Vs French – a Taste Test - Prime Women | an Online Magazine
US Premium Rosé Wine Brands vs French – A Taste Test - Prime Women | An Online Magazine US PREMIUM ROSÉ WINE BRANDS VS FRENCH – A TASTE TEST Tricia H. Conover - July 12, 2019 Dry rosé wines are produced all around the world in many wine regions using countless varieties of red grapes. Rosé wines have been the fastest growing category of wine consumed in the last few years. Rosé wine brands in the USA are growing rapidly. What is not to like? Savoring the flavors and aromas of red grapes in a chilled glass on a beautiful patio is my idea of a great happy hour. And these are not your Grandmother’s White Zinfandels! The most well-known rosé wine brands come from Provence in the South of France. Provence rosé history goes back to Roman occupation of the region in the days of Julius Caesar. Some of the wines were called “claret” for being such a clear red/pink color. In the 19th century tourists started to flock to the Cote d’Azur to go swimming in the Mediterranean sea on those beautiful beaches and would relax afterwards with a chilled glass of rosé. These local wines became a symbol of glamour, leisure, and summer. But, rosé is now a year-round wine and pairs so well with many foods ranging from light cheeses and seafood to grilled meats. And, it hails from many winemaking regions of the globe.

Wine Tasting, Blind and Otherwise: Blindness As a Perceptual Limitation
Wine Tasting, Blind and Otherwise: Blindness as a Perceptual Limitation Jonathan Cohen∗ Now — from which commune in M´edocdoes it come? That also, by elimination, should be not too difficult to decide. Margaux? No. It cannot be Margaux. It has not the violent bouquet of a Margaux. Pauillac? It cannot be Pauillac, either. It is too tender, too gentle and wistful for a Pauillac. The wine of Pauillac has a character that is almost imperious in its taste. And also, to me, a Pauillac contains just a little pith, a curious, dusty, pithy flavor that the grape acquires from the soil of the district. No, no. This — this is a very gentle wine, demure and bashful in the first taste, emerging shyly but quite graciously in the second. A little arch, perhaps, in the second taste, and a little naughty also, teasing the tongue with a trace, just a trace, of tannin. Then in the aftertaste, delightful — consoling and feminine, with a certain blithely generous quality that one associates only with the wines of the commune of St. Julien. Unmistakably this is a St. Julien. — Roald Dahl, ”Taste,” Ladies Home Journal, March 1945. 1 Introduction In the wine world, blind tasting — tasting without knowing the wine’s producer, origin, or other details obtainable from the wine’s label — is consistently vaunted as the gold standard for tasting.1 It is held out as the best, most neutral, least biased, and most honest evaluative procedure, and one that should be employed to the exclusion of non-blind/sighted tasting (which, in turn, is typically disparaged as confused, biased, or dishonest). -

Wine Tasting in Four Steps: Seeing, Smelling, Tasting, Analyzing
Wine tasting in four steps: Seeing, Smelling, Tasting, Analyzing See: The Color The first step in a wine tasting is taken with the eyes. We distinguish 3 areas: color, intensity and viscosity. The 3 basic colours are white, rosé and red. In addition, colour gradations within these groups provide information on the type, age and taste of the wines. White wine: The colour palette ranges from light yellow to brownish orange. The tones can be cooler or warmer. What does the colour mean for the wine? White wines, which are grown in barrels, often have a more intense colour. Straw Yellow Gold Amber Straw yellow: Moscato, Riesling, Grüner Veltliner Yellow: Sauvignon Blanc, ripe Riesling, Pinot Grigio Golden yellow: Rioja, Trebbiano, Chardonnay Rosé wine: The colour palette ranges from light rosé to apricot to fine bronze tones. What does the colour mean for the wine? The „rosé“ is created by the contact of the grape skin with the juice, the duration of this contact is decisive for the intensity of the colour. This means that there are typical rosé colours, which are determined by the winemaker. Pink Salmon Bronce Cognac Pink: Bandol Rosé, Grenache Rosé Salmon pink: Provence Rosé, Sangiovese Rosé Bronze: Pinot Noir Rosé, Syrah Rosé, Pinot Gris Rosé Red vine: The colour palette ranges from ruby red to violet red to strong dark red. What does the colour mean for the wine? Wines with violet colouring are still very young and the aging process is still subdued. Red wines become brighter over time and drawa wine to the orange.
