    Viño, de ricos; e pan, de pobres. Vinificación e viño na paremioloxía galega1 “Viño, de ricos; e pan, de pobres”. Vinification and wine in the Galician paroemiology Xesús Ferro Ruibal Centro Ramón Piñeiro para a Investigación en Humanidades [email protected] Resumo: Compilación e análise de 839 refráns galegos básicos (sen contar variantes) referidos ó viño e recollidos de 282 informantes ou puntos de información que, en moitos casos, comentan a elaboración do viño, a súa conservación, bebida, efectos, utilización médica, calidade segundo as distintas zonas de produción en Galicia, antiga distribución polos arrieiros, maridaxe con certas comidas e tamén sobre a súa sacralización e outras crenzas populares. Artigo de homenaxe ós vinicultores galegos de toda a historia, que, seleccionando castes e refinando técnicas, aprendéronnos este oficio e arte; homenaxe tamén ós vinicultores actuais que souberon mellorar e presenta-los viños de Galicia ata facelos aprezar xa nos cinco continentes. Palabras claves: Paremioloxía galega. Viño, vinicultura. Abstract: Compilation and research of 839 basic Galician proverbs (without counting variants) about wine. These Galician proverbs were collected from 282 people or points of information that comment on wine production, preservation, drinking effects, medical use, quality (depending on different production areas in Galicia), pairing to certain dishes, historical distribution of wine by mule drivers (‘arrieiros’) and also about its sacralization and other popular beliefs associated with Galician wine. This article is a tribute to historical and present-day Galician winemarkers and is at the same time trying to explain the socio economic effect of the current international prestige of Galician wines. Keywords: Galician paroemiology, wine, viniculture.

  • Ribeira Sacra
    Ribeira Sacra An Incomplete Collection of Observations and Considerations Round One… Written by Ted Vance Summer 2020 The Ribeira Sacra is complicated. There is so much more than what is readily apparent beyond the breathtaking imagery of vertigo-inducing vineyard terraces towering over the silvery, slow-moving rivers far below. Broken up into five general wine regions, it has a greater diversity of grapes, expositions, altitudes, slope angles, bedrock types and topsoil compositions than many other wine regions. This subject is expansive and thankfully, there is now increasingly more useful information about it, thanks to Spanish wine journalism that has begun to focus more heavily on Spain’s backcountry. Luis Gutiérrez, from the Wine Advocate, the team at spanishwinelover.com blog, and the website of importer, Jose Pastor Selections, are some of my go-to references written in English. One challenge of delving deep into this region comes from the fact that much of its history has been lost for generations to hard times and nearly complete abandonment. The bulk of the historical and cultural details are in Spanish, or even the far more challenging Galician—also called Galego, a regional dialect that combines elements of Spanish and Portuguese with its own individual twist. My goal here is to offer a better understanding of the Ribeira Sacra by highlighting some unique elements within each of the five subzones from a broad, terroir-oriented perspective. Climatic Considerations The Ribeira Sacra represents Galicia’s climatic middle ground, with a large variation throughout the appellation that ranges from one extreme side to the other.

  • Go-Getting Galicia
    Written by Ferran Centelles 22 Aug 2018 Go-getting Galicia Galicia is one of the most active wine regions within Spain. The number of wineries is booming, small projects are flourishing, and ambitious grape growers continue to start producing and labelling their own wines. To be honest, there is such a shake-up in the region that I even get confused and find it difficult to keep my information up to date. Luckily, I collaborate with an organisation called INGAVI (Galician Wine Institute), which looks after Galician sommelier education and does many wine events. The general manager is the renowned sommelier and seasoned expert Xoan Canas, who basically knows everyone and everything in Galicia. With the team of INGAVI I always end up talking about new producers, rare wines and tiny projects. Normally, the conversations are very humbling as I discover new names, new varieties and trends. If you have read my articles already, you will know how I adore going to the Consejo Regulador of any wine region for a tasting. I normally ask for one or two samples from each winery, sometimes three of four from particularly important producers. I try to limit the tasting to 80 samples per day and when possible I taste blind. I like the idea of encouraging all producers to present samples; it is fair and normally it translates into new wine discoveries and finding up-and-coming producers. However, the tasting below is not one of that kind. Of course it was blind, but the selection was 'maliciously prepared' by the team at INGAVI.
