  • Jean Milan // 12
    Theise Manifesto Beauty is more important than impact. Harmony is more important than intensity. The whole of any wine must always be more than the sum of its parts. Distinctiveness is more important than conventional prettiness. Soul is more important than anything, and soul is expressed as a trinity of family, soil and artisanality. Lots of wines, many of them good wines, let you taste the noise. But only the best let you taste the silence. Introduction Why Drink Grower Champagne? You should drink grower Champagne if you've forgotten that Champagne is WINE. You should drink “farmer-fizz” if you'd rather buy Champagne from a farmer than a factory. You should drink it if you'd rather have a wine expressive of vineyard, and the grower's own connection to vineyard, than a wine “formed” by a marketing swami who’s studied to the nth-degree what you can be persuaded to “consume.” Do you really want to be reduced to a mere “consumer” when you can drink Champagne like a whole human being? You should drink grower-Champagne if the individually distinctive flavors of terroir-driven wines matter more than the lowest-common denominator pap served up by the mega conglomerates in the “luxury goods” business. You should drink it because it's honest REAL wine grown and made by a vintner—by a FAMILY just like yours—by a “him,” not by an “it.” You should drink it because it's better to buy wine from a person than from a company. You should drink it because its price is honestly based on what it costs to produce, not manipulated to account for massive PR and ad budgets, or to hold on to market-share.

  • Taiwan and the Globalization of Puer Tea: the Role of the Taste of Aging
    Cultural and Religious Studies, May 2016, Vol. 4, No. 5, 310-320 doi: 10.17265/2328-2177/2016.05.004 D DAVID PUBLISHING Taiwan and the Globalization of Puer Tea: The Role of the Taste of Aging Shuenn-Der Yu Institute of Ethnology, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan Puer tea was produced in Yunnan, consumed mainly in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Tibet, but became a fad in Taiwan during mid-1990s, which later spread back to Hong Kong, GuangDong, Yunnan, the entire China, and also to Korea, Japan and Southeast Aisa. This paper analyzes how and why Taiwan, which knew very little of Puer tea before 1990s, has played such an important role in the globalization of Puer tea. I argue that it’s not only the historical contingencies, especially Hong Kong’s returning to China in 1997, that gave Taiwan the opportunity to import aged Puer tea that had stocked in Hong Kong for years; more importantly it was Taiwan’s sophisticated tea tasting culture that provided the fertile ground for the development of a taste considered valuable and hence a fad for aged Puer. This taste of aging tea has since come to be the foundation of Puer tea market as the value of Puer has become to be evaluated on the degree of aging and Puer has been traded as though futures or stocks, resulting in the craze for this once little-known commodity and the globalization of its consumption. The case of Puer tea suggests that as we follow Appadurai’s suggestion and pay attention to five cultural flows—ethnoscapes, mediascapes, technoscapes, financescapes and ideoscapes—when studying globalization, we may benefit also from focusing on the “sense-scape,” or the intense cultural flow of sensory information around the world.
