Israeli winemakers see climate change affects their grapes

Bordeaux wines have reduced their carbon footprint by 30 % in 12 years
Bordeaux has not only reached its target, it has actually exceeded it. After aiming to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 20% between 2008 and 2020, the Bordeaux Wine Trade Council (CIV
has in fact achieved a 30% reduction in its carbon dioxide equivalent emissions in twelve years. Presented at its 12th environmental forum, on December 7 at the convention centre in Bordeaux, the third carbon assessment of the Bordeaux wine industry amounts to 587,000 tons of CO2 equivalent in 2020, according to consultancy Carbone 4, compared with 840,000 tons of CO2 equivalent in 2008 and 770,000 tons of CO2 equivalent in 2012.

TOP 100 WINES OF CHINA 2021
In a country where consumers have long craved imported wines and where the domestic winemaking industry is mostly known for bulk production, high-quality Chinese wines have been a well-kept secret. But there has lately been a sea change in China, with more winemakers unmooring themselves from the mass market that has defined them and committing themselves to delivering outstanding bottles, with some clearly on the road to greatness.

With Millennia of History, Turkish Wine Continues to Evolve
Turkey’s wine heritage dates back nearly 7,000 years, and its contemporary wine culture continues to evolve. While some of the world’s oldest known grape varieties in production are grown here, in recent years, low domestic consumption and a 2013 law prohibiting wine or spirits advertising and marketing led many Turkish wine producers to turn to the export market.

‘We Are the Land, and the Land Is Us’: Indigenous Māori Winemakers are Guardians of New Zealand Terroir
Māori people have lived in New Zealand—or Aotearoa, as it’s known in the te reo language—for nearly 1,000 years, long before the nation was colonized by the British in the early 19th century. The history of the Māori people’s relationship with their colonizers is one that echoes other nations around the globe: that of devastating disease, broken contracts, loss of land and systematic cultural oppression.

Judah Kingdom’s Elite Consumed Wine Enriched with Vanilla, Archaeologists Say
Archaeologists from Tel Aviv University, the University of Haifa, the Weizmann Institute of Science and the Israel Antiquities Authority have analyzed residues from ceramic storage jars unearthed in the Babylonian destruction layer (586 BCE) in Jerusalem, Israel. Five of the jars had rosette stamp impressions on their handles, indicating that their content was related to the Kingdom of Judah’s royal economy. The team’s results, published in the journal PLoS ONE, show that the jars were used for storing olive oil and wine flavored with vanilla.

This is why wine was a warrior’s drink for most of history
For millennia warriors consumed alcohol in the form of wine, thus it became intertwined into military traditions. The exquisite taste, nutritional benefits, and, not least, psychoactive effects all contribute to our natural affinity for this drink. No other alcoholic beverage has had such a profound social influence. The wine trade allowed religious and philosophical thoughts to flow across Europe. From Noah and his grape vines through Jesus, probably the greatest winemaker of all time, wine is widely quoted in the Bible.

Lebanese Wine: Renaissance Interruptus
My most recent post covered the role of the Phoenicians in the spread of wine across the Mediterranean. As was the case for Iranian wine, production in the Levant contracted with the introduction of Islam to the region, with wine permitted only for use by Christians in the course of their religious pursuits.

TOP 100 WINES OF CHINA 2022
After tasting more than 300 wines from China in 2022, we have no doubt about the country’s ability to deliver great wines. Fourteen of the wines we tasted received a rating of 95 points or above – twice the number as in 2021. These included a couple great, single-village bottles from Xiaoling Estate that couldn’t be included on our Top 100 list because of their limited production and availability – two factors we take into account when compiling these lists, along with price and overall value.

Ksara’s balance and consistency amidst Lebanon’s chaos
Winemakers are used to dealing with major climate issues and, more recently, problems with supply chains. For Lebanese producers such as Chateau Ksara, life is a whole different ball game. Making wine in the Bekaa Valley, a stronghold of the pro-Iranian Hizbollah, coping with frequent power cuts from a bankrupt utility group and inflation that is tracking at 180% – it is a wonder that any are still in business. But the Lebanese people, like the wines of Chateau Ksara, have an agelessness and indestructibility about them as Justin Keay discovered when he met up with Ksara’s George Sara and Lebanese wine expert Michael Karam for a rare vertical tasting of Sara’s flagship Bordeaux blend Chateau and its 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.
