Between 1880 and 1920, these groups gained public interest in their own way. The liquor interests defended their industries against politicians, religious leaders, and social reformers, but ultimately failed. While current historical scholarship links the different liquor industries together, the beer industry constantly worked to distinguish itself from other alcoholic beverages.

  • Vermouth Winemaking by Werner Roesener
    Vermouth Winemaking by Werner Roesener The Vermouth wines described here are classified as sweet aperitif wines and are similar to the commercial products of sweet Cinzano or Martini. They are served chilled at 7 to 10 degrees Celsius as appetite stimulant before meals. They contain 17 to 19 percent alcohol and 7 to 9 percent sugar. Their particular flavour is derived from herbs. As an overview, the production involves making a suitable fortified base wine and then infusing herbs into it. To make a fortified base wine, the amateur winemaker has several options: 1. Adding alcohol to an existing table wine of typically 12 percent alcohol content This requires mixing 16.8 L of wine with 3.2 L of 40% alcohol or Vodka and 1.6 kg sugar to make a 20L batch. White table wine worksbest. Red wine can also be used, but very tannic wine should be avoided, becauseit may take several years of ageing to become drinkable. 2. Making a wine from start specifically for this purpose from grape juice or concentrate: The starting gravity should be adjusted with sugar or concentrate to 1100. A yeast with high alcohol tolerance must be used, i.e. Lalvin EC-1118 or sherry yeast. When fermentation is nearly complete as evident by reduced activity, adding small amounts of sugar (one cup per 20L batch) every few days will keep the fermentation going until activity stops, the wine will then contain about 16 to 18 percent alcohol. 3. Freeze concentrating table wine: A table wine containing about 12% alcohol is placed in a semi- soft container into a freezer and left to freeze solid for 48 hours.

  • Askaneli Wines
    ASKANELI't; BROTHERS 1880 From the very beginning, we decided to not spare money or efforts on using the most current technologies and inviting the best industry professionals with international work ex- perience. It is extremely important for me to be involved in the creation of the modern history of Georgian winemaking. Our country prides with its huge range of endemic grapes, many of which have been lost or simply forgotten. Revival of ancient varieties has become one of the important components for our development and we are continuously working a lot in this direction. We cherish traditions, but don’t fear experimenting, searching for new tastes and imple- menting new technologies. Thanks to this approach, we have created new wines from smaller vineyards that have unique terroir. Contributing to the global winemaking, yet step by step we create our signature style. We want our wines to be exceptional and recognizable, to have individuality and certainly the Georgian spirit. Constant development and quality growth has remained the cornerstone over the 20 years Gocha Chkhaidze of existence for Askaneli Brothers company. President of Askaneli Brothers Askaneli Brothers started in the village Askana in the region of Guria west Georgia near the Black Sea. It is interestingly to note, that even the name of the village is related to the activities of Askaneli since the son of Aeneas descendant of Dionysus was called Ascanius. Legend would have been just a good story if not for the great grandfather of the Askaneli’s, Anthimoz Chkhaidze. There in the winery vault built by him lays a pitcher dated 1880.

  • A California Wine Primer
    part one A California Wine Primer Olken_Ch00_FM.indd 1 7/13/10 12:07:51 PM Olken_Ch00_FM.indd 2 7/13/10 12:07:52 PM A Brief History of Wine in California more than two hundred years after Spanish missionaries brought vine cuttings with them from Mexico’s Baja California and established the first of the California missions in San Diego, researchers at Madrid’s National Biotechnical Center, using DNA techniques, have traced those first vines back to a black grape that seems to be a dark-colored relative of the Palomino grape still in use for the production of Sherry. That humble beginning may not seem like it would have much to do with today’s bur- geoning wine industry, but the fact is that the Mission variety became the vine of choice in California as its population grew first through the arrival of trappers and wealthy landowners, then with the small but steady stream of wagon trains that came west out of the country’s heartland and the establishment in the 1840s of the clipper ship trade. By the time the trans- continental railroad was completed in 1869, California’s wine economy had become established, and despite world wars and periods in which the sale of alcohol was banned, the industry hung on and finally exploded into its current shape with the wine boom of the 1970s. Today, the Mission grape is gone, but the wine industry it helped spawn now boasts over a half million acres of wine grapes from one end of the state to the other.
