...SPIRITS Assignment on: “Wines in different regions of the World” Wine is the fermented juice of grapes. There are three major types of wine : 1. Table wine (17-22%) 2. Sparkling wine (8-12% + CO2 ) and 3. Fortified wine (17-22%) France is the leading country from the top 10 producers of wine in the world. Subsequently there are: Italy, USA, Spain, Argentina, Germany, South Africa, Australia, Chile and Portugal. Grapes are agricultural products that require specific growing conditions. There are limitations on where vines can be grown. Some of these limitations are: the growing season, the number of days of sunlight, angle of the sun, average temperature, and rainfall. Soil is of primary concern, and adequate drainage is a requisite. The right amount of sun ripens the grapes properly to give them the sugar/acid balance that makes the difference between fair, good, and great wine. Each major wine-producing country has government-sponsored control agencies and laws that regulate all aspects of wine production and set certain minimum standards that must be observed. Some examples: * France : Appellation d’Origine Controlee (AOC) * Italy : Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) * USA : Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau * Germany : Ministry of Agriculture * Spain : Denominacion de Origen (DO) There are three major grapes from which white wine is produced: 1. Riesling 2. Sauvignon Blanc 3. Chardonnay Regions where they...

...------------------------------------------------- Food Research Project Cheese Origins, history and where it is now found in the world In the ancient eras, during the Greeks and Romans’ time, cheese was an important trade product and was mentioned extensively in the literature of the day (including in Homer’s odyssey, whereby Cyclops Polyphemus’s cave have description on cheese’s production). In the first century AD, The Roman writer Apicius states the steps in cheese production when writing. The Roman word for cheese is caseus, which is derived from the word casein, which means milk protein that is curdled to make cheese. The French word for cheese fromage and Italian is formaggio and Italian word, which come from the Greek word formos which stands for form or mould. Essentially, cheese is produce by curdling fermented milk then removing the liquid that forms which is known as the whey. The curds are generally curdled using rennet; a substance extracted from the stomach of animals such as cows, and salt is used to flavor it. It was unclear when exactly rennet was first used, but there is assumption that it was by the Etruscans, during the fifth and sixth century BC. The Romans were the ones who pioneered the method of cooking curds in cheese making, allowing for longer shelf life, enabling harder cheese to be trade and transport conveniently. The combination of bacteria used to ferment the milk, in combination with kind of milk and particular type of cheese-making method used, plus the...

...closely into one of Australia’s region in Central Victoria, Nagambie is a small town, home to some of Victoria’s finest and historic wineries. With its increasing popularity as a tourist destination as well as quality vineyards, Nagambie has triggered government initiatives for the region’s development. The Mitchelton Wines, located in Nagambie along the beautiful Goulburn River. It is one of the leading wineries in Nagambie and is considered to be one of the most contemporary and yet historic wineries in Australia. However, since Nagambie is a small town and there are strong competition from more popular wine regions in Victoria, such as the Yarra Valley, Mitchelton lacks exposure. Thus, Mitchelton Wines and the tourism businesses of Nagambie should cooperate with the Australian tourism industry at large to increase their success and geographical identity/brand equity. Strategic operations from other successful wine regions such as the Napa Valley are taken into consideration in this report to formulate proposed strategies....

...has varying degrees and extent of influences that makes cultural foods around the world interesting and challenging to the readers and culinary afficionados. Geographical Location The geographical location of a country determines the kind of climate it has throughout the year. Also, its neighboring countries and bodies of water (ocean or sea) influence the available food added to foods inherent in its culture. An example is the African continent: North African nations with coastal lines of the Mediterranean Sea have common foodways with Greeks, Italians and other nations that also get food sources from this sea. Another example is about countries in the tropical belt, having fruits that cannot grow in wintry areas of the world. Thus, what are exotic to the non-tropical countries are common and cheap in tropical countries. Conversely, grapes, berries, and different varieties of apples imported to the tropical countries are expensive. While climate is one of the factors in the study of geography, its impact on cultural foods is very significant and is further elaborated in the next section. Climate Different types of climates and vegetation divide the world into distinct natural regions: the polar regions are always cold and dry and few plants can survive. The temperate regions have mild winter days and some hot dry summers with some cooler, wetter climates in certain nations. Thus, such varying seasons of the year can...

...2. Executive summary • Two countries researched for potential market entry of Silkwood Wines, using macro-environmental (PEST) analysis, are Argentina and New Zealand. • Argentina is an attractive market for winemakers from ‘target-market’ point of view, but it is not a good time to commence exporting to this country. Unfavourable political and economic situation are the strongest factors that influence this decision. High physical, psychic, cultural and linguistic distances from Australia represent additional potential complications. • New Zealand on the other hand offers less opportunity for profits, but being physically, psychically, culturally and linguistically close to Australia, with a favourable applicable tariff rates and historically good relationship, it is a safe option. • American slightly positive GDP growth in the last quarter and some other latest statistics indicate that the worst times relating to world financial crisis is in the past. Nevertheless, world’s economists are prognosticating that long time is needed for full recovery. Some countries are still in recession and Argentina is battling hard to come out as a winner. Higher risks are associated with these hard times, thus a safer option is recommended. • Taking all this into consideration and the facts that Silkwood Wines are inexperienced in exporting and have limited human and financial resources, I recommend New Zealand as the best country for initial entry. With characteristics above described...
