Organic vs Non Organic Vineyards There’s many differences between organic vineyards and non-organic vineyards. Organic vineyards, for instance, produce their wine by excluding the use of artificial chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides and herbicides. Non-organic vineyards on the other hand, produce their wine by applying these products. Every year that goes by, our generation is becoming more advanced in the usage of organic products. Many things sold in groceries stores are now available

We live in a world in which various cultures and societies are able to live under a set of rules created and sustained by people within that society. While the rules, or, expected standards of living, are usually intended for the good of the people, there is constant debate over which laws should be reconsidered. One debate that stands tall among the rest is whether or not the minimizing or increasing of drinking age laws should take place. Beginning January 1, 2014, the legal drinking age in the

The older generations view emerging adulthood as a group of individuals who lack discipline and express self-destructive behavior’s for no apparent reason, however studies have shown that it is more complex and dynamic than just lacking discipline. The group comprising emerging adults surpasses every other group in the use of drugs, alcohol, and sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s).

3000 BCE to 2000 BCE (Hirst). Babylonians had various alcohols and worshipped a goddess of wine and beer by the name of Sidura; Sidura appears as a character in Gilgamesh, the earliest surviving work of literature that dates back to 2750 BCE (Hirst).

filled night after a long day, its time for some relaxation. It is time to go to the wine shelve, pick a great bottle of wine and then pour a glass. Swirling the glass and an aroma begins to waft, expelling a polite bouquet of fruit and spice. This starts a chain reaction to the nose that then sends a sensation to start the mouth salivating.

Before the year of 1975, the minimum legal drinking age (MLDA) was set at eighteen. It wasn’t until 1984 when the National Minimum Drinking Age Act was passed which required the States to set the MLDA at twenty-one causing no one under the age of twenty-one to be able to consume or purchase alcohol. States that did not comply faced a reduction in highway funds under the Federal Highway Aid Act. Many can argue that ever since the drinking age was set at a higher age limit, there have been less reports

I know that the topic of acids in wines have been discussed many times in our wine circles. It is important to realize that both good and bad acids exist in the wines that we drink.

Wine culture means a lot to people. People can suspend their ‘secular identities’ throughout the bottle opening, rituals, wine festivals, wine tastings (Fuller, R. 1996). Wine has been called a ‘chemical symphony’, ‘bottled poetry’ and a ‘capture sunshine’ (Becker 1979) To start with, wine is produced only once a year, in the fall, when the grapes are ripen. Grapes contain yeast and when these are compressed into a pot for a period of time, then yeast ferments sugar in the juice into alcohol and

Chardonnay regular wine requires a 2 to 1 mixture of Chardonnay and generic white grapes. Therefore, the 18,000 pounds of Chardonnay grapes will be combined with 9,000 pounds of generic white grapes. The 27,000 pounds of grapes will result in an additional 9,000 bottles of new Chardonnay regular wine being produced. However, it will also result in a 3,000-bottle decrease in the amount of Blanc de Blanc wine produced, since some generic grapes will now be used for the Chardonnay-regular wine.
