New Re-Sealable Bottle Top Set to Revolutionise Sparkling Wine Market Oct 11, 2010 15:31 BST NEW RE-SEALABLE BOTTLE TOP SET TO REVOLUTIONISE SPARKLING WINE MARKET A revolutionary new re-sealable top for sparkling wine is to be launched in the UK by Tesco tomorrow. The breakthrough means that from now on anyone fancying a glass of sparkling wine won’t have to worry about the rest of the bottle going flat as the new device will totally reseal it. The top, called Zork, is the third major innovation launched by Tesco to revolutionise the wine industry and help customers. Earlier this year the supermarket brought out new super lightweight bottles and in 2002 it introduced the first screw cap tops for wine. Said Tesco Beer Wines and Spirits category director Dan Jago: “This is great news for customers who are just looking to enjoy the odd glass of sparkling wine as Zork keeps the bubbles in the bottle for more than a week. “And because the bottle can now be perfectly re-sealed we believe the innovation will introduce more people to sparkling wine. “The Zork top is not only safe and easy to use but also retains the satisfying pop, as well as the sense of celebration and ceremony associated with opening a bottle of sparkling wine. “And there’s further good news as it 100 per cent recyclable and can be used to reseal other similar bottles.” The Zork, which is made of plastic contains four separate components which are: A cap with a tamper proof band A collett with a spring loading pin allowing it to lock onto a standard wine bottle A foil which is a high quality gas barrier keeping air out and gas in A seal which prevents leaking under extreme, high pressure conditions Four sparkling wines sold by Tesco will initially feature the Zork top – Sparkling Mateus Brut Rose; Tesco 1531 Banquette de Limoux; Dino Durello Spumante; and Tesco Finest Angas Rose. Tesco hopes that soon its champagnes and cavas will also use the Zork but at the moment there are regulations governing the production of each of these which stipulate that only corks can be used as sealants. Added Tesco’s Dan Jago: “We think that the sparkling wines featuring the Zork will appeal especially to women. “We know from research that some women have a fear of opening sparkling wines because of the pressurised cork so this innovation will ultimately give them greater control.” In March this year Tesco launched new lightweight wine bottles that are 40 per cent lighter than the average wine bottle. The bottles weigh a mere 300g - 30 per cent lighter than Tesco’s previous lightest own label bottles - and the supermarket anticipates their introduction will reduce its glass usage by 560 tonnes annually. And in 2002 Tesco became the first supermarket to switch all its own label wines over to screwcap. For more information please contact Mike Baess on 01992 646079or Tesco Press Office on 01992 644645. Note to editors: · During December sparkling wines account for one fifth of total sparkling wine sales for the year. · The UK off trade sparkling wine market is currently growing at 6 per cent and is worth £291m a year..

  • Institutions, Leadership and Long-Term Survival 1
    Institutions, Leadership and Long-Term Survival Teresa da Silva Lopes Queen Mary, University of London 1. Multinationals and the wealth of nations There is a vast literature on the factors that contribute to the wealth of nations. Since Adam Smith until the present day, a large variety of such factors has been considered. They include the division of labour, technological progress, the development of free markets, the intervention of governments, the supply of national resources, the accumulation of physical and human capital, the contributions of foreign trade and foreign investment, the geographical position and the institutional framework. This study combines the views that relate the wealth of nations to trade and different kinds of institutions and organizations – the creators of the ‘rules of the game and the players'1 – to explain the development or lack of development of multinational firms, in marketing based industries such as the alcoholic beverages industry. Among the pioneers who studied the impact of international relations are Adam Smith in The Wealth of Nations and David Ricardo in The Principles of Political Economy and Taxation. Adam Smith argued that industry and the wealth of nations relied on free trade and international competition. Ricardo developed Adam Smith’s analysis of absolute advantage by exploring the concept of comparative advantage. According to him, even if one country is better at producing everything than another, there are still benefits from trade. Ricardo used Britain and Portugal to show that the overall wealth of the two nations increases if they specialize in those industries in which each has comparative advantage, such as textiles in the case of Britain and 2 wine in the case of Portugal.

  • Bottle Aging and Storage of Wines: a Review
    molecules Review Bottle Aging and Storage of Wines: A Review Javier Echave 1 , Marta Barral 1 , Maria Fraga-Corral 1,2 , Miguel A. Prieto 1,2,* and Jesus Simal-Gandara 1,* 1 Nutrition and Bromatology Group, Analytical and Food Chemistry Department, Faculty of Food Science and Technology, University of Vigo, Ourense Campus, E-32004 Ourense, Spain; [email protected] (J.E.); [email protected] (M.B.); [email protected] (M.F.-C.) 2 Centro de Investigação de Montanha (CIMO), Instituto Politécnico de Bragança, Campus de Santa Apolonia, 5300-253 Bragança, Portugal * Correspondence: [email protected] (M.A.P.); [email protected] (J.S.-G.) Abstract: Wine is perhaps the most ancient and popular alcoholic beverage worldwide. Winemaking practices involve careful vineyard management alongside controlled alcoholic fermentation and potential aging of the wine in barrels. Afterwards, the wine is placed in bottles and stored or distributed in retail. Yet, it is considered that wine achieves its optimum properties after a certain storage time in the bottle. The main outcome of bottle storage is a decrease of astringency and bitterness, improvement of aroma and a lighter and more stable color. This is due to a series of complex chemical changes of its components revolving around the minimized and controlled passage of oxygen into the bottle. For this matter, antioxidants like sulfur oxide are added to avoid excessive oxidation and consequent degradation of the wine. In the same sense, bottles must be closed with appropriate stoppers and stored in adequate, stable conditions, as the wine may develop unappealing color, aromas and flavors otherwise.
