China Spirit Six of the world famous distilled Wine One (the other five are brandy, whiskey, rum, vodka and gin). The birthplace of Chinese liquor in Henan, China wine ancestors in Henan, Henan wine wine wine ancestral cultural status of the whole country were universally acknowledged. In 9000 years ago, the Central Plains were to begin in the City of alcoholic drinks Jiahu.

It can be said: Henan cultural history of wine, represents the long history of Chinese liquor culture history.

Henan liquor culture is an important part of the Central Plains culture. Central Plains Central Plains wine is accompanied by a long cultural symbiosis of the Central Plains wine is also influenced by the ever-developing Central Plains culture, history and culture in Central China for thousands of years in wine “bubble” with; Henan long history of wine is a unique, scarce resources and authority of the brand, is our ancestors left us Henan precious cultural wealth and spiritual wealth, we need to handle inheritance and carried forward.

, However, is not only a long history of wine culture and its allusions and legends, wine culture and the era of history and culture should also be a combination of culture; while culture is not the same as wine wine culture. Culture of wine should be the product culture, corporate culture and even Marketing Culture collection of consumer culture.

Present, Henan wine on two extremes of cultural values deserve attention and should be corrected.
One is called yu wine to get rid of historical and cultural constraints of the “cultural shadow theory” or “cultural baggage on.” In fact, many companies are not the Yu Yu wine wine play a more dominant culture flourish. As everyone knows, Henan liquor cultural heritage first, it is necessary to be innovative. Can not only inheritance but not innovation, not innovation forgetting about inheritance.

One is the so-called “consumers do not drink wine drinking culture” “culture, whether virtual,” or “culture is useless.” Wine is a product of culture is the carrier of culture. Wine of the times, especially in culture, we not only can not despise culture, nor can one speak wine culture, wine culture and should be elevated to a high state of culture, wine to culture, to drive brand.

Henan liquor products not only in culture but also in the cultural industries and even in the cultural industry chain development aspect. In the context of diverse social values, each of Henan liquor companies should identify the core cultural values of their brand and strengthen its core point of construction of cultural superiority, by the light of history and the era of convergence and market integration resonate with consumers.

How do Wine Aerators Work?

Posted on

A wine aerator is a device that sits above a decanter or glass, allowing the maximum amount of air to flow through the liquid as it’s poured. In the past five years, many models of aerator have been introduced to the market, giving wine lovers a number of options for enjoying their younger wines by the glass, or by the bottle, hours earlier than they could with decanting alone.

Why aerate wine?

Most full-bodied reds require time to “breathe” in order for the flavors to mellow and blend for an ideal drinkable state. In fact, most wines under 15 years will benefit from aeration – this is why we often think the last glass out of a bottle tastes better than the first. Simply uncorking a bottle and allowing it to stand will not sufficiently aerate the wine – it needs more of the surface area of the wine exposed to get enough contact with air.

Do all wines need aeration?

Not all. The oldest and palest vintages should be enjoyed after only minutes out of the bottle – as they’ve reached their peak flavor in storage.

But, as most of us are not storing our wine bottles for years, or buying vintage cases at auction, our preferred brands will likely benefit from the use of an aerator or 30-90 minutes in a wide bottom decanter.

What kind of wine aerator should you buy?

That depends. Many models are for reds or whites only. Others have single uses, either by the glass or bottle. An ideal choice for wine lovers new to aeration is a multi-function aerator that can switch from bottle to glass.

Glass or Polycarbonate?

Several popular glass models are available on the market, but the lesser-known polycarbonate options are more practical in terms of longevity and functionality. The Wine Weaver is a fun, polycarbonate choice – it comes in a number of jewel tones and is engineered to allow maximum airflow by releasing the wine in small streams along the sides of the glass or decanter.

Prolong the Life of your Bottle

A word of caution: too much air can be a bad thing for your wine. Pair your wine aerator with a vacuum pump if you like enjoy the same bottle over several days. There’s nothing worse than having to throw out a half bottle of great wine that has been spoiled by resealing too much air in the bottle.

A great gift

Wine aerators are high on the must-have gift list for wine lovers for this Christmas. Give them as hostess gifts and you’ll be a big hit at this season’s holiday parties, where more than one great bottle of wine is sure to be served.

Texas Hill Country and Wine

Posted on

When one thinks of wine, maybe their first thoughts are of Northern California,  the Napa Valley region, or parts of Italy and France – but few realize how many wineries are in Texas.

 

In Central Texas, there are close to 3,200 acres of vineyards. Grapes produced here are numerous and include: Blanc du Bois, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignane, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Grenache, Lenoir, Malbec, Merlot, Mourvedre, Muscadine, Muscat Canelli, Mustang, Noble, Norton, Orange Muscat, Palomino, Petit Verdot, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Primitivo, Riesling, Roussanne, Ruby Cabernet, Sangiovese, Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Musque, Scuppernong, Semillon, Syrah, Touriga Nacional, Viognier, Zinfandel.

 

The highest numbers of plantings in the state are for the Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay grapes followed by Chenin blanc and Sauvignon blanc.

 

Believe it or not, Texas has a long history of wine production. Portions of the state have the perfect climate – that of being sunny and dry, which many compare to regions in Portugal.

 

The first wines in Texas were thought to be produced by Spanish missionaries in the 1650s. These Franciscan priests initially planted vines in West Texas near El Paso. The wine was used for sacramental purposes.

 

With Prohibition, much of the Texas wine industry was ruined. Families and companies stopped growing grapes and making commercial wine. Even today, 254 Texas counties have dry laws.

 

Despite setbacks, Texas became fruitful again. Today, the state is divided into three main wine growing regions due to the areas vast diversity in microclimates. There is the North-Central Region, the Eastern Region, and the South-Eastern Region. The North-Central region includes the northern third of the state from New Mexico across the Texas Panhandle toward Dallas. The South-Eastern Region includes the area around Austin, San Antonio and Houston. Last is the Trans-Pecos Region.

 

Grape harvesting in Texas usually occurs toward the end of July, which is two months earlier than in California and about three months earlier than France.

 

With all of these grapes there are of course the wineries. In Texas there are a reported 160 wineries. The largest winery is operated by the University of Texas with 1,000 acres, which was established in 1987. The second largest winery is the Llano Estacado Winery.

 

There are many ways to tour Texas Wine Country. There are tour companies which include luxury mini-buses to limo service. You can also take your own car and enjoy the beautiful drive.

 

If you want to sample the wine without visiting the winery, there are numerous restaurants in Texas who pride themselves on selling wine produced in Texas.

 

As for those in the Texas Hill country, there are many wineries to be visited along with beautiful tasting rooms. Some of the more popular include Becker Vineyards, located between Fredericksburg and Stonewall and Grape Creek Vineyard. Additional vineyards include:  Alamosa Wine Cellars, Bending Branch, Chisholm Trail, Comfort Cellars Winery, Driftwood Estate, Dry Comal Creek Vineyards, Duchman Family Winery, Fall Creek Vineyards, Flat Creek Estate, Fredericksburg Winery  McReynolds Winery, Pedernales Cellars, Perissos Vineyards, Pillar Bluff Vineyards, Rancho Ponte Vineyard, Singing Water Vineyards, Sister Creek Vineyards, Solaro Estate, Spicewood, Stone House Vineyard, Texas Hills Vineyard, Texas Legato Winery, Torre di Pietra, William Chris Vineyards, Woodrose

 

As you can see there are a number of wineries and vineyards to visit just in the Central Texas region.  When visiting, take your time, enjoy the drive and the grounds and most importantly, enjoy the wide variety of tastes you will experience.

A Wine Consumer Powder Keg

Posted on

Last year I ran across a website that stirred my interest in wine consumer issues and I wrote an article about it (see my article at: http://winecoolerblog.com/category/wine-issues). The website (freethegrapes.com) presented specific information with regards to shipping wine between the various states.  I found out that several states actually made it a criminal offense to do this type of shipping of wine.  Believe it or not, some states even classified this crime as a felony.  Because it has been some time since I came across this issue, I decided to reacquaint myself with it in order to share the facts with you.

What I found is the issue has progressed to a critical situation called the Comprehensive Alcohol Regulatory Effectiveness Act of 2010 (commonly called House Bill #5034).  Hearings on this bill were recently held in late September of this year.  This bill amends the Webb-Kenyon Act by emphasizing Congressional Policy that each state or territory shall continue to have the primary authority to regulate alcoholic beverages and decreasing the ability for legal actions challenging the authority of states to regulate alcoholic beverages.  This amendment negates the Federal authority to regulate interstate commerce in this particular case.

House Bill #5034 further amends the Wilson Act to eliminate the state requirement to regulate the importation of all alcohol based liquors or liquids to the same extent and in the same manner as such alcohol based products produced in such state or territory.  In my words, this means that each state can and probably will discriminate against these products that are produced outside that respective state.  Once again, I believe the Federal government’s role in interstate commerce is being set aside by H.R. 5034.

Why do you suppose, with all the critical legislation that congress should be working on, that they are undertaking an issue like this?  The answer is lobbyists for the Beverage Distribution and Wholesale Industry are putting pressure on them to do so.  The traditional American business model starts with a producer that leads to a wholesaler that leads to the consumer.  The wholesalers in this equation are naturally fighting your ability to purchase and ship directly from the wine producer of your choice, strictly a matter of money.  Wholesalers do not want anyone messing with their “money tree” that has been in place so long.

During my review of this issue, I did find information from Congressman Mike Thompson (California), a person who testified against this discriminatory House Bill (review his testimony at: http://mikethompson.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=209346.  His remarks will make you think about the evolution of regulation of alcoholic beverages since the era of Prohibition in the United States.  Beer lovers if you think this is only a wine issue then you had better think again.  If you have a favorite brewery outside of your resident state, you may not be able to get that favorite shipped to your home.

The Commerce Act was established by Congress and litigated many times since Prohibition.  All of this Post-Prohibition activity led to our current regulations that have proven to be some of the best in the World.  It is time for consumers of alcoholic beverages to get involved.  Visit the freethegrapes.org website.  They have made getting a response to your Congressperson simple with an easy to fill our form letter that can be easily e-mailed to the right people.  In my opinion, if we don’t rally around getting House Bill 5034 thrown out, we will be stepping back in time with regard to your consumer and constitutional rights.
