Alistair Morrell: why does wine need to be made from grapes?

Wine is and always has been made from grapes. It’s just a fact of life. But does that have to be the case for ever more? Alistair Morrell certainly doesn’t think so and he has his history books out to show that over the centuries, and in different parts of the world, that wine, and the sum of its parts has not always just had a vine and a bunch of grapes to play with. As the pressure mounts on the wine industry to find new ways to attract consumers might different ways of making wine be part of the solution, he asks.

Niet om elitair of wat dan ook te zijn maar nu weet je voor 99% zeker dat als je wijn koopt deze tenminste van druiven is gemaakt.

No Rules: The New Rules
25 November 2019 18:11
We asked Max Allen, one of this country’s finest wine scribes and a champion of the organic and the un-messed with, to write a piece with a one-word inspiration. That word was dogma. Take any angle, we said. Make it short, or make it long. Rant if you like. Just have at it. This is what he wrote.

The highest winery in Europe
19 November 2019 13:13
There is a claim that seems to be owned by and referred to by quite a few wineries and especially when you carry out a quick search on Google for ‘highest winery in Europe‘. It is stated that in Europe to be referred to as a winery with a high altitude you really should be looking at 500m ASL (above sea level) or more. We must also consider that there is a big difference between a winery and the vineyards, you could indeed have a high altitude winery where the wines are made and stored and yet gather the grapes from vineyards located lower down.

Marketing An 8,000-Year-Old Wine Story By The Black Sea
11 November 2019 17:49
Georgia (the country) has produced wine almost since the birth of civilization. Archeologists have dated Georgian winemaking to the 6th millennium, B.C. (over 8,000 years ago). In many cases, wine produced in Georgia today follows ancient tradition; for instance, large earthenware vessels known as Qvevri (or Kvevri) have been used over myriad centuries to ferment, store and age wine underground, and they are still being used. The egg-shaped vessels that have lately been seen at many European and North American wineries are a testament to the practice. The taste of such Georgian wine suggests clay minerals.

Ik kom regelmatig in de Cave de Tain in Tain l'Hermitage. Ze verkopen een crozes hermitage zonder jaartal. Deze wijn wordt gemaakt door verschillende jaren te mixen omdat er mensen zijn die graag elk jaar dezelfde smaak willen hebben. Heb ik ooit een fles van gekocht omdat ik niet had opgelet. Zal ik niet meer doen. Ik wil de verschillende jaren proeven. En zeker de betere.

Ok, als blijkt dat dit veel beter verkoopt dan is dat maar zo.

Is Wine Drunk Different From Beer Drunk Or Liquor Drunk?
04 November 2019 17:57
Many drinkers believe that different kinds of alcohol create different personal reactions; one of my friends is convinced that tequila, and only tequila, makes her depressed. These beliefs are sometimes very old; gin, for instance, was known as "mother's ruin" in 1700s England because it was believed to affect women more than men. However, experts tell Bustle that the idea of experiencing specific symptoms depending on what you're drinking — being "beer drunk" as distinct from "wine drunk," for instance — isn't necessarily based in fact.

Ooit gehoord; "geef mij maar wit, ik moet nog rijden"!
