    BOOKS FOR CIDER MAKING Claude Jolicoeur 197 Aberdeen Québec, Québec, Canada, G1R 2C9 Tel. (418) 524-6833 E-mail [email protected] After now 10 years of cider making and collecting books on the subject, I thought I could share these books and my opinion on them with the NAFEX community. The first book I got on the subject, and the one I still consider the most useful is by Annie Proulx and Lew Nichols, 1980, Garden Way Publishing: "Sweet & Hard Cider - Making it, Using it & Enjoying it", 188 pages. It contains pretty much everything one has to know to start with this extremely enjoyable activity: basic procedures, recipes, notes on orcharding and cider apples. It is simple enough for the beginner, yet complete enough for the more experienced cider maker to browse through it again and again. It is the book I recommend to anyone who ask me for something on the subject. I know there is now a new edition of this book, but I haven’t seen it yet. Another one that was written with the same objectives is Jo Deal’s "Making Cider", published by G.W. Kent inc. in 1985, 94 pages. This one is a bit strange because although it is published in the USA, it’s essentially a British book: almost all the cider varieties mentioned are English and the sources mentioned are also in England. Personally, I don’t find this book as useful and complete as the one from Proulx and Nichols. Now, we will get into books that are more specialized.

    COGNAC Artisan producers ognac’s history and reputation are unrivaled among spirits. But despite associations with celebrities, elitism, luxury and opulence, at the end of the day Cognac is about dirt, grapes and a series of offer a voyage of organic reactions. The mysterious yet simple ritual of its cre- Cation—from harvest and crush to fermentation, distillation, élevage and bot- discovery tling—yields one of the most ethereal spirits ever known. Because of the recent rise in artisanal Cognac—an extension of the global craft-spirits movement—we have been able to re-examine brandy By Wyatt Peabody as a whole. And, thanks to the tireless work of a few determined import- ers, today we have access to small producers, most of which were all but unknown in the United States previously. San Francisco importer Charles Much of the wine made from Neal first introduced Dudognon Cognac in 1998. In the years since, Neal these vineyards around St.-Preuil in western France will be distilled has gone on to work with dozens of independent producers throughout and aged into Cognac. the Cognac region. DEC. 15, 2014 • WINE SPECTATOR 107 “Cognac has always been about terroir,” pro- claims Neal, who was brazen enough to start importing artisanal Cognac before people knew anything other than what the big four—Hen- nessy, Rémy Martin, Courvoisier and Martell— were selling. So how does one disrupt a seem- ingly impenetrable market, some 80 percent of which is controlled by four companies? For an enophile like Neal, it was by focusing on the winelike, site-specific nature of Cognac.

  • Criteria of Determination of Age of Cognac Spirits O
    UDC 663.241:674.4/8 © 2016 Criteria of determination of age of cognac spirits O. Lukanin, academician of the NAAS, doctor of technical sciences Winemaking primary resources monitoring laboratory O. Sydorenko, Candidate of Technical Sciences Limited Liability Company «Pioner Noviishykh Tekhnolohii» The purpose. To develop criteria of estimation of ripeness of ordinary cognac spirits on the basis of measurements of concentration of basic aromatic components of oak which pass in spirit at seasoning in a barrel for 1 — 5 years. Methods. Experimental seasoning of cognac spirits in new barrels made from domestic oak was spent in industrial conditions. The equation of an index of age of cognac spirits is deduced by means of programs of statistical analysis of data. Concentration of aromatic components of an oak in cognac spirits was measured by chromatographic method. Results. The formula on which it is possible to calculate an index of age of cognac or cognac spirit up to 98,68% is developed. Conclusions. The criterion of estimation of ripeness of ordinary cognac spirits on the basis of measurements of concentration of basic components of oak which pass during seasoning in barrels for 1 — 5 years is offered. Key words: cognac spirits, aromatic components, classification, time of seasoning. Free Trade Zone Agreement of Ukraine with the EU, which has come into force on January 01st, 2016, is aimed at reducing and abolishing of tariffs for goods, as well as bringing the Ukrainian business rules and regulations into compliance with the EU rules and regulations in order to ensure free movement of goods and services and mutual non-discriminatory attitude towards companies within the territory of Ukraine and the EU.
