Abstract

Australian Wine Vintages is the longest running wine guide in Australia. First published in 1979, it has been much imitated but never beaten. This pioneering work has made fine Australian Wine accessible to generations of drinkers through the simple and clear layout. It states what is good, when to drink it and what the wine is worth.The author Rob Geddes MW (Master of Wine) has been responsible for this publication since the 25th edition. He and his tasting team bring new energy and accuracy to this Australian classic.Says Rob, 'I am proud that our scores correlate very strongly to the scores given by judges in wine shows.' However, it is not just about the points. 'Our tasting panel of extremely experienced judges, plus our experience with consumer wine events means we are able to understand consumers and suggest wines that will be interesting to them as well.'.

Abstract

As a reflection of a terroir and a landscape, as an emblem of a region, a nation or a civilisation, wine also facilitates a connection between cultural dimensions that we are used to discriminating in our everyday representations (human/divine, human/animal, noble/common, beautiful/monstruous, natural/artificial). It is thus a vector of alterity, an invitation to go towards the other, to modify or alter one's vision of the world, to cross not only regional and national borders, but also the threshold between the profane and the sacred. It was therefore essential to combine the thoughts of wine professionals with those of researchers from many areas of the human sciences, from history to economics, linguistics, semiotics, communication sciences and literary criticism. Reflet d'un terroir et d'un paysage, emblème d'une région, d'une nation ou d'une civilisation, le vin facilite aussi le rapprochement entre des dimensions culturelles que nous sommes habitués à distinguer dans nos représentations ordinaires (humain/divin, humain/animal, noble/vulgaire, beau/monstrueux, naturel/artificiel). Il est ainsi vecteur d'altérité, il invite à aller vers l'autre, à modifier ou altérer sa vision du monde, à franchir non seulement les frontières régionales et nationales, mais également le seuil séparant le profane du sacré. Il était donc indispensable d'associer les réflexions de professionnels spécialistes du vin à celles de chercheurs issus de nombreux secteurs des sciences humaines, de l'histoire à l'économie en passant par la linguistique, la sémiotique, les sciences de l'information et de la communication ou encore la critique littéraire.

Abstract

Wine drinking culture in France has traditionally been a source of pride for the French and in an age of concerns about the dangers of 'binge-drinking', a major cause of jealousy for the British. Wine drinking and the culture associated with it are, for many, an essential part of what it means to be French, but they are also part of a national construction.

Abstract

This paper discusses the cultural and linguistic mediation strategies involved in the compilation of a terminological tool aimed at facilitating the intercultural exchanges between Italy and China in the field of oenology, by taking the Dictionary of Italian wines and grape varieties (Italian - Chinese) (Bosc et al. 2019) as a case study. The main objectives of the dictionary compilation were the popularization of specialized wine language, the standardization of the names of Italian wines and grape varieties, and the translation of the Italian lexicographical definitions in Chinese. For this process to be effective in terms of intercultural communication and mediation, the negotiation of standardization and translation strategies needed to take into account the differences between the two cultures and languages involved as well as the constraints of the lexicographical genre. After delineating the historical background and presenting the purpose of the dictionary from the lexicographical perspective, the paper delves into the choices made in the compilation of the Chinese text.

Abstract

Inspired by a deep passion for wine, an Italian heritage, and a desire for a land somewhat wilder than his home in southern France, Robert V. Camuto set out to explore Sicily's emerging wine scene. What he discovered during more than a year of traveling the region, however, was far more than a fascinating wine frontier.

Abstract

This book examines how Napa became a pre-eminent site for the production of great and sometimes iconic wines in a short space of time. Unlike its Old World counterparts whose development took place over centuries, Napa's inception didn't start until the beginning of the 19th century, and even then struggled to identify appropriate grape varietals and find a market for such wine, only to be frustrated when Prohibition occurred in the early 20th century and practically shut down the industry. It was in the 1960s that winegrowing would re-emerge on a scale and quality that began to be noticed by informed critics and neophyte consumers. In the following decades, critical information sharing networks of owners and winemakers emerged, facilitating a collective organization learning that fostered a commitment to quality and consistency that would cement Napa's reputation. During these decades, technical skills were embraced, institutional support harnessed, and demand for premium wine in America grew. This book is a story about this evolving wine market, about how key individuals were able to shape its organization and build a brand that would increasingly be identified as amongst the best in the world. It starts with an early discussion of what constitutes quality and how wine has been evaluated over the centuries, and ends by exploring Napa's apotheosis and the current critical issues facing the industry in that area.
