Complex aromas of cassis, tobacco leaf, cedar, and espresso, are coupled with a monlithic structure of high-quality tannins that is built to last for decades. A long, lingering finish evokes forest floor and classic Cabernet flavors. This vintage was sourced from a rocky hillside vineyard perched above the fogline in Knights Valley. There the terroir is conducive to making inky, concentrated wines of great distinction. That is the essence of Delectus. DELECTUS WINERY | 1091 ST. HELENA HW Y, ST.

The U.S. Wine Industry and Selected Trade Issues with the European Union
The U.S. Wine Industry and Selected Trade Issues with the European Union Renée Johnson Specialist in Agricultural Policy July 25, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R43658 The U.S. Wine Industry and Selected Trade Issues with the European Union Overview This report provides an overview of issues pertaining to the U.S. wine industry within ongoing U.S. trade negotiations in the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the proposed Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP). The report is organized in two parts. The first part provides an overview of global wine production and trade, focusing on the role of the United States within the industry. The second part provides an overview of reported barriers to trade for U.S. wine exporters, and describes some of the issues that are reportedly being discussed as part of the ongoing TPP and T-TIP negotiations that could influence market access, regulations, and rules related to wine trade. Given the magnitude of wine trade between the United States and the European Union (EU), much of the discussion in this report focuses on U.S. wine trade issues related to the EU. A few introductory comments are worth noting. There is some disagreement among countries over what constitutes “wine.” For example, the EU defines wine as only those beverages made by fermenting grapes. In the United States, wine is defined more broadly to include beverages produced by fermentation of any fruit (grapes, peaches, pears, etc.). European table wine generally contains between 9% and 15% alcohol. In contrast, U.S.

So, the effect of this technique on the antioxidant activity (% of remaining 1,1-diphenyl- 2-picrylhydrazyl radical) and the phenolic compound composition of red, rose, and white DW, obtained at pilot plant scale, has been analyzed. Nineteen raw wines (RWs) from different grape varieties and five different Spanish viticultural regions have been studied before and after deal- coholization. The total phenolic content, flavonols, tartaric esters, and anthocyanins, was determined by spectrophotometry, while the content of phenolic compounds such as stilbenes (trans- and cis- resveratrol), flavonols (rutin, quercetin, and myricetin), flavan-3-ols [(þ)-catechin and (-)- epicatechin], anthocyanins (malvidin 3-glucoside), and non-flavonoids (gallic, caffeic, and p-couma- ric acids) was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The resveratrol contents in red wines were between 1.81 and 34.01 mg/L in RWs and between 2.12 and 39.57 mg/L in DWs, Merlot being the grape producing the RWs and DWs with higher resveratrol content.

This is a far cry from the average amount of alcohol in a bottle of California red wine, such as Zin- fandel. You’d be hard-pressed to find one that’s less than 15% alcohol. Rebuilding a Dream I began consuming wine in the 1960s, when almost all Cal- ifornia wines were about 12% alcohol; 13% was considered late-harvested! We still have a few bottles left of some 1970s Zinfandels that are marked on the Mountain “late-harvested,” even though the listed alcohols are well below Behrens Family just north of St.

A Comparison of Legislation About Wine- Making Additives and Processes
A comparison of legislation about wine- making additives and processes Vashti Christina Galpin Assignment submitted in partial requirement for the Cape Wine Master Diploma February 2006 Abstract This document presents a comparison of legislation about the additives and pro- cesses that can be used in winemaking, which are collectively known as oenolog- ical practices. It considers five jurisdictions: South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, the United States and the European Union. The comparison covers the differ- ent styles of legislation, details of which oenological practices are permitted, the relationship between legislation about quality and that about oenological practices, regimes that limit additive use such as organic wine production and environmentally- friendly wine production (specifically the South African Integrated Production of Wine Scheme), regulation of wine importation, multilateral and EU bilateral wine trade agreements, and labelling of additives. The comparison shows that some basic practices such as alcohol increase by addition of substances, sweetening and deacidification and/or acidification are common to all five jurisdictions. For most functions of additives, the legislation of each jurisdiction permits some substance or process to achieve that function. Two major functions for which there are differences are type of wooding permitted, and the addition of flavour extracted from grapes and colouring. There are also differ- ences in the specific additives and processes that are permitted. There are a number of different approaches for the import of wine from requiring imported wine to use the same oenological practices as the wines of the country into which it is imported, to the EU’s approach of bilateral wine trade agreements with individual countries that cover permitted oenological practices, and the multilat- eral Mutual Acceptance Agreement on Oenological Practices.

Alcohol Reduction in the Wine Industry - Using Spinning Cone Column Technology
Alcohol Reduction in the wine industry - using Spinning Cone Column Technology Author – Tim Birks, Flavourtech Pty Ltd Market Trends Lower alcohol wines and non alcoholic wine products have become increasingly popular in recent times and it appears that they are here to stay. Demand for these products seems mainly driven by consumer’s search for a healthier lifestyle. However, in recent years, governments have made use of incentives (most commonly tax related) and deterrents (such as tougher drink driving laws) in an effort to reduce alcohol consumption. As higher quality non-alcohol wine products become more readily available, new markets for these products are emerging. Religious groups and pregnant women are now able to enjoy a wine derived beverage in the form of a non-alcoholic wine product that can either be less than 0.1%v/v or less than 0.5%v/v alcohol. In Asia, this market is also steadily growing with demand from China accelerating over the last two years. Low and zero alcohol products are being requested from many wine producers due to the intolerance of Chinese for alcohol from a health or allergy perspective. Alcohol Reduction in the Wine Making Process To satisfy these market trends, alcohol reduction is fast becoming an essential part of the wine making process. It is being used in two main areas: • As a winemaking tool, whereby a wine’s alcohol level is reduced by a small increment to achieve an optimal balance in the final product. This allows the production of wines with alcohol levels in the range of 9-13%v/v alcohol, instead of the sometimes over powering 14- 16%v/v range.
