Wine is not just an object of pleasure, but an object of knowledge; and the pleasure depends on the knowledge.

Sir Roger Scruton, I Drink Therefore I Am

Si tu te souviens bien, il existe cinq bonnes raisons de boire : L'arrivée d'un hôte, la soif présente et à venir, le bon goût du vin et n'importe quelle autre raison.

Me reading how Barok rearranges his collection of vintages that he keeps mentioning all the time on a regular basis all by himself because he can't find a sorting system that he is satisfied with as he has many categories according to which he could store them:

#It is also about having control of at least one thing in his life when so many other things are uncertain and not up to him anymore. #But it is also about the autism. The sorting. The frequency despite this being very hard work. Categorizing. Special interest in oenology #and viticulture. #(I only know these words because I researched wine for Barok fic. He infected me) #There are other autistic qualities to him but I like this one. Even in those troubling times he has something he enjoys and finds comfort in #barok van zieks

Rare Find: 5,000-Year-Old Wine Jars Discovered by Archaeologists in Egypt | Wine Spectator

What were people drinking 5,000 years ago in the southern Egyptian city of Abydos?  We already knew locals were filling their cups with beer, as Abydos was home to a massive brewery at that time.  But as we’ve recently learned, it seems there was another tipple on the beverage list.

On Oct. 1, an international archaeology team announced the extremely rare discovery of dozens of wine jars at the Um Al-Qaab archaeological site within Abydos, giving us an even clearer image of Bronze Age hospitality.   (The excavation represents the combined efforts of the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, the Archaeological Institute in Cairo, the University of Vienna, the University of Technology in Vienna and Lund University.)

Archaeologists discovered the jars while digging at the tomb of Queen Merneith (aka Merit-neith), the royal consort of the pharaoh Djet in the First Dynasty.  Merneith later ruled Egypt as a regent during the reign of her young son, Den, around the year 2950 B.C.E., making her one of the earliest-known women rulers in recorded history.  While historians debate the full extent of Queen Merneith’s authority, researchers found inscriptions at Abydos that indicate she did, indeed, pull the levers of government.  Now, about that wine …

“We found about 50 intact wine jars in one context and the fragments of hundreds of others,” Dr. E. Christiana Köhler, the excavation’s principal investigator and project director, told Wine Spectator via email.  “Some of them were still sealed with ceramic lids and mud sealings.  The excavations are ongoing, and it is possible that we’ll find more wine jars.”

If that wasn’t exciting enough, most of the jars still hold quantities of “well-preserved” grape pips and other residue.  Per Köhler, while this wine probably came from vineyards within Egypt, chemical analysis is ongoing, so time may tell what type of wine this is.  (It’s already been 5,000 years; what’s a few more?)  ...

5,000-Year-Old Wine Jars Unearthed in Egypt - Archaeology Magazine

Egyptologists excavating at the 5,000-year-tomb of the First Dynasty Queen Merneith at the sacred city of Abydos have unearthed hundred of sealed wine jars, reports Newsweek. Some of the jars still bear the remains of grape seeds. Organic residue recovered from the artifacts might give scholars new information about Old Kingdom wine-making practices and the early history of wine in the region....

Beaune's artisanal vinegar factory reaps the benefits of oenological recycling

The recycling of wine and other oenological products launched by the winegrower Jean-Luc Maldant, in Chorey-les-Beaune, allows winemakers and merchants to dispose of their polluting residues and, in the meantime, to develop a product whose consumption is in rise. With the health crisis over, business partnerships are taking off.

Launched just before the health crisis, the artisanal vinegar factory in Beaune, in the Côte d'Or department (France), took advantage of the sluggish activity of restaurants to refine its offer, and it is beginning to reap the benefits of the partnerships forged when the activities resumed .

After signing a commercial agreement with the Marseille-based restaurant Une table au Sud, with the Hostellerie du Chapeau Rouge by William Frachot in Dijon, or with Géranium, the three-star Danish restaurant with a Bocuse d'Or reward, the house has just launched an agreement with Les Trois Brasseurs[1] for the development of specific vinegars based upon… beer excesses for its franchise restaurants!

Several initiatives

"Oenological recycling includes wine, beer and mead", explains Jean-Luc Maldant, the owner of the Maldant-Pauvelot estate in Chorey-les-Beaune, at the foot of the Corton hill, who is at the origin of this artisanal vinegar factory. Because this is its purpose: to recycle and enhance Burgundy wines and other alcoholic beverages intended for destruction (production surpluses, tasting leftovers, lower quality products). “The distillation residues contaminate the water and are dangerous,” he explains.

After having created his own organic label, "bio advance", so as not to depend on a Parisian audit office, he defends, and after having first focused on the quality of the culture, Jean-Luc Maldant had wanted to focus on the depollution of the oenological part of the profession.

Project in Luxembourg

Having noted that the world vinegar market is doing well, with growth of 7% per year for the last ten years, he has thus undertaken to "clean up the sector" by creating this recycling centre, in partnership with the Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne ( BIVB)[2] and Siqocert[3], the Burgundy and Beaujolais AOC inspection and certification body[4].

Based in Chorey-les-Beaune, its artisanal vinegar factory uses recycled cooperage wood and has developed different ranges: balsamic, premium, organic, fruit, herbs, roots and tubers... The company produced 1,200 hectolitres in 2021 for a turnover of 70,000 euros, and is aiming for 3 million euros within five years.

“We could be four times bigger, we also make it possible to make our suppliers green”, underlines Jean-Luc Maldant, who is already in discussion to set up another recycling and vinegar factory in Luxembourg, less than 300 kilometres from the vineyards of Burgundy, Champagne , Moselle, Alsace, Belgium… which could also recycle their wine residues.

Oenology

Drunk discussion, a Mitch Hedberg joke, and the Science of Seduction.

When Sherlock solves the case of the winery, the owner, as promised, sends them a case of very nice wine. Naturally, they have to open a bottle and try it. And another to compare. And a third to consolidate their findings.

“Is this cooking wine?” John takes another swallow and squints into his glass. “For dinner I was going to make that thing.”

Sherlock opens his eyes. “The thing with the peas?”

“No. It has chicken and… you know… things. Parsnips. Or carrots. Vegetable things. And you cook it in wine.”

“Red or white?”

“I dunno. White, I guess. Isn’t chicken white?”

“This is pink,” says Sherlock, clinking his glass against John’s. “Cheers. I don’t gen-er-ally like rosé, but this is… quite de-lect-able.” He’s pronouncing words carefully, he notices, because his lips are not fully cooperating. Speech is such a complicated thing.

“Green,” says John. “Those green grapes. Why isn’t there green wine?”

“Good question. No clue.”

“Should be. For holidays.”

“Not a vivid green, though,” says Sherlock. “Like ab-snith…absence… absinthe. Absinthe.” He says the word several times to make sure it’s right. Not an easy word. “Absinthe. I had it once.”

“How was it?”

“Disappointing. Could hardly taste the wormwood.”

“Wormwood.” John frowns. “That a mushroom?”

“Plant. Ornamental. Toxic, kinda.”

“Sounds dangerous.”

“Not very. Only one documented case. Idiot.”

“Idiot yourself.” John giggles. “Only you would know that.”

They’ll have to go to the shops if they want to make the chicken thing, with the vegetable things, and that sounds like too much effort. They open a packet of flatbread and slice some of the cheddar that isn’t hosting a mould experiment. Sherlock finds a bunch of grapes that are not very shrivelled.

John grabs the cheese and flatbread and another bottle of the wine, and moves the feast into the sitting room. Sherlock follows with the grapes and a packet of biscuits. John lights a candle and they sit on the floor, like a picnic.

It’s almost romantic, Sherlock thinks. “Almost romantic,” he says. “Did I say that out loud?” He pops a grape into his mouth.

John giggles. “You have to wait.”

He chews the grape. “Wha’ for?”

“Th’ grape,” John says. “It’s a grape.”

“I’m aware,” he replies.

“Still a grape. Not wine yet. You gotta wait.” He giggles again.

“Okay, I’m waiting.” He’s not sure, but maybe John has just told a joke. Interesting. “What does it mean?”

“Yer a wino,” John says. “Don’t eat the grapes. Gotta wait for the grapes to turn into wine.”

“We have plenty of wine, John. And grapes— I s’pose we’d have to ferment them. What we need is— Saccharomyces cerevisiae.” He’s not sure how he’s managed to pull these syllables out of his brain, but there they are. It’s like a magic trick, only the magician is completely pissed.

John snorts. “Just a joke. And now you’re doing that thing.”

“What thing? I’m not even wearing my coat. Or collar. What thing am I doing?”

“That thing. Where you seduce me with science.”

“Science,” he repeats. “My dear doctor, se-duc-tion ought to be an exact science, but I can see that you have once again attempted to tinge it with—“ He draws a breath, not sure where his sentence is going.

“Come here, you romantic seductor… deductor... deducer…,” John says, grabbing his dressing gown. “I deduce that you are seducing me.”

The kiss is sloppy, and tastes a bit like wine, but it’s the best thing Sherlock has ever imbibed.

“You’ve biased my judgment, doctor,” he says.

“About time.” John presses a grape to Sherlock’s lips. “I wasn’t ‘bout to wait any longer.”

The Mitch Hedberg joke: "I saw this wino, he was eating grapes. I was like, 'Dude, you have to wait.'" Maybe you had to be there.

that reminds me of the series oenology by silver_wolf1249 on ao3 where mihawk goes to investigate dawn to find out what was so important to shanks to sacrifice his arm and meets ace and decides to mentor him so ace gets a scimitar and its pretty funny

i can also see everyone but luffy using a sword as well, and i like to imagine mihawk is not only the worlds greatest swordsman because he has defeated every other swordsman but also because he is a master in either most or all sword types so that would lend itself well towards teaching a bunch of hyperactive children how to stab things

I'VE READ THAT! I LOVE IT!

Yeah, Luffy doesn't care for swords, but he knows enough that he can use one if needed. Mihawk definitely gives each of his kids a different kind of sword. Uta is given a katana, Ace is given a cutlass, Sabo is given a rapier, and Perona is given an epee. Mihawk trains all of them. Dragon gets Sabo on the weekdays, Mihawk trains Sabo on the weekends.

Velletri, Rome. Grape harvest 2023, visits to the Arsial experimental vineyards begin.

In Velletri, Rome, the 2023 grape harvest signifies the start of tours to the Arsial experimental vineyards.

This year's grape harvest in Velletri, located in the province of Rome, is expected to be among the finest in recent memory. The warm and dry weather conditions have been favorable, benefiting the ripening of the grapes and preventing diseases. The winemakers meticulously executed every cultivation phase, from pruning to harvesting, while adhering to the timing and methods mandated by production regulations. This has resulted in an exceptional wine that exemplifies the unique qualities of the region. This brief post outlines the primary features of the wines available for tasting and purchase at their wine shop and wineries.

The wines from Velletri are renowned for their exceptional quality and diversity, which stems from an age-old tradition and biodiversity-rich terrain. Cesanese, Sangiovese, Montepulciano, Trebbiano, Bellone, and Malvasia Puntinata are some of the popular grape varieties. These wines stand out for their deep ruby hues, fragrant and fruity aromas, and well-balanced and lasting taste, while the whites boast a well-balanced flavor.
