  • Addendum Regarding: the 2018 Certified Specialist of Wine Study Guide, As Published by the Society of Wine Educators
    Addendum regarding: The 2018 Certified Specialist of Wine Study Guide, as published by the Society of Wine Educators Note: This document outlines the substantive changes to the 2018 Study Guide as compared to the 2017 version of the CSW Study Guide. All page numbers reference the 2017 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-2018/ Page 27: The section on Sémillon has been updated to read as follows: Sémillon is perhaps best-known as a blending partner rather than a stand-alone varietal. Sémillon is often paired with Sauvignon Blanc, as is done in Bordeaux and Bordeaux-influenced blends. In Australia, it is often blended with Chardonnay. On its own, it has a distinct waxy or oily character on the palate and typically shows aromas of citrus (lemon, yellow grapefruit), flowers (honeysuckle, lemon blossom) and tree fruit (peach, pear, or green apple). When slightly underripe, Sémillon may display herbal notes reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc. The Hunter Valley in Australia is one region well-known for producing 100% varietal wines from Semillon. (Note: Outside of France, the grape is typically spelled without the accent over the e.) Page 35: The following information has been added to the section on The Annual Growth Cycle: The cycle begins with the emergence of new greenery in the spring. The first sign of this process is weeping, which occurs as the sap begins to flow upward from the trunk and out to the tips of the canes.

  • 377 Final 2003/0140
    COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 24.6.2003 COM (2003) 377 final 2003/0140 (ACC) Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION on the conclusion of an agreement between the European Community and Canada on trade in wines and spirit drinks (presented by the Commission) EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 1. This agreement between Canada and the European Community is the result of bilateral negotiations which took place from 7 November 2001 to 24 April 2003 on the basis of a negotiating mandate adopted by the Council on 1 August 2001 (Doc. 11170/01). The agreement comprises arrangements for the reciprocal trade in wines and spirit drinks with a view to creating favourable conditions for its harmonious development. 2. The agreement specifies oenological practices which may be used by producers of wine exported to the other Party, as well as a procedure for accepting new oenological practices. The Community's simplified system of certification will be applied to imported wines originating in Canada. Canada will not introduce import certification for Community wines and will simplify the extent of such testing requirements as are currently applied by provinces, within a year of entry into force. Production standards are agreed for wine made from grapes frozen on the vine. Concerning production standards for spirit drinks, the agreement provides that Canada will adhere to Community standards for its exports of whisky to the Community. 3. Procedures whereby geographical indications relating to wines and spirit drinks of either Party may be protected in the territory of the other Party are agreed. The current "generic" status in Canada of 21 wine names will be ended by the following dates: 31 December 2013 for Chablis, Champagne, Port and Porto, and Sherry; 31 December 2008 for Bourgogne and Burgundy, Rhin and Rhine, and Sauterne and Sauternes; the date of entry into force of the agreement for Bordeaux, Chianti, Claret, Madeira, Malaga, Marsala, Medoc and Médoc, and Mosel and Moselle.

  • Prospect on Rare Earth Elements and Metals Fingerprint for the Geographical Discrimination of Commercial Spanish Wines
    molecules Article Prospect on Rare Earth Elements and Metals Fingerprint for the Geographical Discrimination of Commercial Spanish Wines Claudia Cerutti 1, Raquel Sánchez 2,* , Carlos Sánchez 2, Francisco Ardini 1, Marco Grotti 1 and José-Luis Todolí 2 1 Department of Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry, University of Genoa, Via Dodecaneso 31, 16146 Genoa, Italy; [email protected] (C.C.); [email protected] (F.A.); [email protected] (M.G.) 2 Department of Analytical Chemistry, Nutrition and Food Science, University of Alicante, P.O. Box 99, 03080 Alicante, Spain; [email protected] (C.S.); [email protected] (J.-L.T.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 6 November 2020; Accepted: 25 November 2020; Published: 28 November 2020 Abstract: This paper presents a novel tool for Spanish commercial wine discrimination according to their designation of origin (PDO). A total of 65 commercial wines from different Spanish designation of origin (Alicante, Bullas, Campo de Borja, Jumilla, Castilla la Mancha, Ribeiro, Ribera de Duero, Rioja, Rueda, Utiel-Requena, Valdepeñas and Valencia) were characterized. The rare earth elements (REEs) content was determined by a high-temperature torch integrated sample introduction system (hTISIS) coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The REE content was used to draw characteristic PDOs radar charts. Results indicated that the REEs fingerprint provides a good prospect to discriminate the different Spanish PDOs, except for Alicante, Castilla la Mancha, Jumilla, Utiel-Requena and Valdepeñas. Finally, for those PDOs that were not properly distinguished, a second fingerprint obtained from Ba, Co, Cr, Mn, Ni, Pb and V content was used for discrimination purposes.

  • Denominaciones De Origen En España (D.O.)
    Denominaciones de Origen en España (D.O.) Clasificación de los vinos españoles Cada D.O. tiene un Consejo regulador que se encarga de aplicar los reglamentos y normas de calidad de esa Denominación de Origen, y vigilar su cumplimiento, además de defender sus intereses económicos y sociales. También es el encargado de la calificación de la calidad de cada cosecha. En función del grado de protección que tienen los vinos y por consiguiente la normativa y control que deben cumplir, hay varias clases de vinos. Vamos brevemente a citar sus características de menor a mayor exigencia. Vino de mesa Los vinos de mesa están en el escalón más bajo en cuanto a protección y exigencia, no pertenecen a ninguna D.O. y no están obligados a especificar procedencia, añada o variedades. Vinos de la Tierra (V.T.) Los Vinos de la Tierra pertenecen a regiones determinadas, que con unas características medioambientales o de cultivo que confieren a estos vinos cierto carácter. Siguen una normativa menos exigente que los vinos con D.O. Vinos de Calidad con Indicación Geográfica (V.C.) Son vinos producidos y elaborados en una región o localidad determinada, las uvas deben tener la misma procedencia y su producción, la elaboración del vino o su envejecimiento se deben a dicho lugar o a sus gentes, cuenta con 6 zonas acogidas a esta calificación. Denominación de Origen (D.O.) Actualmente además de las célebres Rioja y Ribera del Duero existen muchas más Denominaciones de Origen repartidas por la geografía española, en concreto 69. Las más antiguas datan de 1933 (Jerez, Manzanilla, Montilla-Moriles, Rioja, etc…) aunque no fueron reconocidas legalmente hasta años más tarde.
