  • Fortified Wine Production
    BEGINNER FORTIFIED WINE PRODUCTION Content contributed by Kimberly Bricker, Imperial Beverage Material contained in this document applies to multiple course levels. Reference your syllabus to determine specific areas of study. Wine was originally fortified, or strengthened, to better sustain itself during the journey to those importing it. The addition of brandy or neutral grape spirit would kill off the yeasts, which are constantly in the process of converting sugars to alcohol. Once the alcohol by volume reaches 16-18%, yeasts die. The remaining sugars are never converted into alcohol, and the natural sugars of the wine persist. Wines can be fortified at various stages in their fermentation, sweetened or colored with a variety of techniques. Different grape varietals can be used. Grapes can be dried. Wines can be boiled and reduced, cooked, aged in a solera, or aged in a boat that travels halfway across the world and back. They can be enjoyed immediately or aged for over 200 years. Port, Sherry, Madeira, Marsala, Malaga, Montilla-Moriles, and Vin Doux Naturels (VDN’s) are all Fortified Wines. Most people think of stuffy British old men drinking out of little glasses in a mahogany Sherry library with their pinkies out when they “Oh I must’ve been a dreamer think of Sherry- if they think of Sherry. And I must’ve been someone else While that image may have relegated Sherry, as an old-fashioned wine, to the And we should’ve been over back of the cool class, that is only part of Oh Sherry, our love the picture. Both Christopher Columbus Holds on, holds on…” and Ferdinand Magellan filled their ships ‘Oh Sherry’ by Steve Perry with Sherry when they set sail to discover the New World.

  • Imperial Hops: How Beer Traveled the World, Especially to Asia Jeffrey M
    Imperial Hops: How Beer Traveled the World, Especially to Asia Jeffrey M. Pilcher This is a very preliminary discussion of a book I hope to write on the globalization of beer. The first section outlines the literature and my research plan as sort of a first draft of a grant proposal intended to convince some funding agency to pay for me to travel the world drinking beer. The rest of the paper illustrates some of these ideas with three Asian case studies. I started with Asia in response to an invitation to participate in a recent SSRC Interasia Workshop in Istanbul and because the languages and meager secondary literature make it the hardest part of the project to research. There are mostly questions where the conclusions should be, and I welcome all suggestions. In June of 2013, Turkish crowds gathered in Istanbul’s Taksim Square to protest the growing authoritarianism of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Refusing to surrender their democratic freedoms, they opened bottles of Efes Pilsner and raised mock toasts to the tee-totaling Islamist politician: “Cheers, Tayyip!”1 The preference for European-style beer, rather than the indigenous, anise-flavored liquor arak, illustrates the complex historical movements that have shaped global consumer culture, and at times, political protests. Turkish entrepreneurs founded the Efes brewery in 1969, less than a decade after guest workers first began traveling to Germany and returning home with a taste for lager beer.2 This brief episode illustrates both the networks of migration, trade, and colonialism that carried European beer around the world in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and the new drinking cultures that emerged as a result.

  • Chapter 1 – Alcoholic Beverages Definition –– a Potable
    Chapter 1 – Alcoholic Beverages Definition –– A potable (meaning drinkable) liquid containing ethyl alcohol or ethanol of 0.5 percent or more by volume is termed as ‘alcoholic beverage’. Alcohol is mobile, volatile fluid obtained by fermenting a liquid containing sugar. The word ‘alcohol’ is derived from the Arabic al – kohl. Pure alcohol is colourless, clear liquid with a burning taste. It derives its colour from the wood of the cask in which it is matured, and / or from the caramel which may be added during its maturation or bottling. How is Potable Alcohol (Alcoholic Beverage) obtained? All alcohol or alcoholic beverages are obtained by a process called fermentation. It is concentrated or increased in strength by distillation. The percentage of alcohol in a drink varies from 0.5 – 9.5%, depending on the method by which the alcohol is obtained. Fermentation is the process in which the yeast acts on sugar and converts it to ethanol and gives off carbon dioxide. The fermented liquid has 3-14% alcohol and it can be concentrated up to 95% by a series of distillations. Distillation is the process of separating elements in a liquid by vaporization and condensation. In the distillation process, the alcohol which is present in the fermented liquid (alcoholic wash) is separated from water. Classification of Alcoholic Beverages Alcoholic beverages are classified as Fermented beverages, Distilled beverages and Compound beverages. Fermented Beverages Fermented beverages can be divided into two groups, wines and beers, broadly defined. Wines are fermented from various fruit juices containing fermentable sugars. Beers come from starch-containing products, which undergo enzymatic splitting by diastase, malting, and mashing, before the fermentable sugars become available for the yeasts and bacteria.

  • A Comprehensive History of Beer Brewing 1
    1 1 A Comprehensive History of Beer Brewing Franz G. Meussdoerffer 1.1 Introduction Brewing has been a human activity ever since the beginning of urbanization and civilization in the Neolithic period. Beer is a product valued by its physico - chemical properties (i.e. quality) as much as by its entanglement with religious, culinary and ethnic distinctiveness (i.e. tradition). Accordingly, the history of beer brewing is not only one of scientifi c and technological advancement, but also the tale of people themselves: their governance, their economy, their rites and their daily life. It encompasses grain markets as well as alchemy. There exists a vast literature on beer and brewing. Among the most comprehen- sive reviews are the books by Arnold [1] and Hornsey [2] . Some aspects have recently been covered by Unger [3] and Nelson [4] . A major problem is posed by language – there is an abundance of information available in, for instance, English, German, Dutch, French, Danish or Czech, which, due to insuffi cient command of the various languages, is are not acknowledged by other authors. If evaluated in a broader context these publications would yield very interesting insights. There are two fundamental limits to any history of beer brewing. First of all it is the unambiguous defi nition of its object, namely beer. Does ‘ beer ’ broadly refer to fermented beverages based on grain or does it designate the hopped drink obtained from liquefi ed starch after fermentation with specifi c strains of Saccha- romyces yeasts, which is understood to be beer in our times? Although including the history of all grain - based fermented beverages would exceed the scope of this chapter, a consideration of hopped beer only would be too selective, and would ignore the fundamental roots of brewing technology and beer culture.

  • Reducing Youth Exposure to Alcohol Ads: Targeting Public Transit
    Journal of Urban Health: Bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine, Vol. 85, No. 4 doi:10.1007/s11524-008-9280-0 * 2008 The New York Academy of Medicine Reducing Youth Exposure to Alcohol Ads: Targeting Public Transit Michele Simon ABSTRACT Underage drinking is a major public health problem. Youth drink more heavily than adults and are more vulnerable to the adverse effects of alcohol. Previous research has demonstrated the connection between alcohol advertising and underage drinking. Restricting outdoor advertising in general and transit ads in particular, represents an important opportunity to reduce youth exposure. To address this problem, the Marin Institute, an alcohol industry watchdog group in Northern California, conducted a survey of alcohol ads on San Francisco bus shelters. The survey received sufficient media attention to lead the billboard company, CBS Outdoor, into taking down the ads. Marin Institute also surveyed the 25 largest transit agencies; results showed that 75 percent of responding agencies currently have policies that ban alcohol advertising. However, as the experience in San Francisco demonstrated, having a policy on paper does not necessarily mean it is being followed. Communities must be diligent in holding accountable government officials, the alcohol industry, and the media companies through which advertising occurs. KEYWORDS Alcohol, Underage drinking, Public transit, Alcohol adsR MAIN ARTICLE Underage drinking remains an intractable public health problem. Alcohol is by far the most used drug among teenagers,
