The Country Project And Wine Essay
Introduction
The reason we choose Italy as our country project and wine as our product of choice to export into Italy is because exporting American wine into Italy
is difficult and demanding. Italy is number two in wine consumption by country. Per person, Italians drink more wine than anyone in the world. The
average Italian drinks approximately 15 gallons a year, mostly of Italian wine. We hope to change that by expanding our foreign market sales of wine
distribution export to include Italy as part of our direct export sales.
The name of our company is American Wine Exports Company, Ltd. We currently export American made wine into many different countries and
now we are looking to expand our sales into one of the toughest wine regions in the world, Italy. The global market as a strong interest in American
made wines. Our philosophy at American Wine Exports is to deliver the very best of American made wines to every part of the world including
countries like Italy where American made wine is very hard to come by.
The objective of this paper is to research the country of Italy, to decide the best mode of entry into Italy from the U.S. and to determine if there are
any trade related issues. Furthermore, to conduct research to help our company develop a marketing strategy to expand our global sales of wine to
include Italy. Our projections for success are huge with Italy being number two on the list of wine consumption per person. Every wine producing

Raymond Blanc and Modern French Cuisine
Raymond Blanc, OBE is a French born chef who has made his career in the United Kingdom and has revolutionised modern French cuisine. Blanc
was born on 19 November 1949 in Besançon, a city in Eastern France, making him now 64 years old. He began cooking when his father gave him a
colander and a vegetable foraging guide for his 10th birthday and whatever he could manage to find in their garden and surroundings, his mother – the
inspirational "Maman Blanc" would teach him to cook. His mother believed in cooking healthy, local, fresh produce which was "full of goodness and
love" and this inspired both Raymond and his two sisters to follow with this trend. Blanc is completely self–taught and has never received official**l
culinary training in any form.
During Blanc's first job in a restaurant, he criticised the head chef for his lazy cooking and thus had a pan thrown at him which broke his nose and jaw
– he also got fired for this. In the year 1972, Blanc came to England and worked as a waiter at the Oxfordshire restaurant, Rose Revived. On one
fortunate day when the head chef was ill, he entered the kitchen to assist with service and since then it has been a rollercoaster of culinary expertise,
phenomenal classic French cuisine and the beginning of Les Quat'Saisons, Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons and the Le Petit Blanc Brasserie franchise.

A Report On Le Vin
INTRODUCTION:
Le vin est produit et connu depuis l'aube des civilisations (1).
ConsidГ©rГ© comme une boisson noble, les premiГЁres traces de vin pourraient remonter Г 8000 ans avant J.C. grГўce Г la dГ©couverte des jarres

Probablement originaire du Proche–Orient, ses traces sont trouvГ©es dans les hiГ©roglyphes Г©gyptiens, les civilisations grecques et romaines

Dans la bible, la vigne reprГ©sentait un cadeau cГ©leste et une donation favorite du bon Dieu Г son peuple.
Il est le seul aliment pour lequel un tel caractГЁre sacrГ© et symbolique s'est rГ©pandu, le paroxysme de cette consГ©cration s'est rГ©vГ©lГ© par la

Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz Essay
Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz
The book, Stormbreaker, by Anthony Horowitz is about a boy named Alex, whose uncle had just died in a car crash (or so they say). He finds out
that his uncle was really shot by a man named Yassen Gregorovich. Alex's uncle, Ian Rider, really worked for MI6. He was a spy that was hired by
MI6 to figure out the secret behind Herod Sayle and his Stormbreaker computers that he was donating to every school in England. Ian Rider had figured
out the secret, but before he could reveal it to MI6, he was shot and killed. Alex's uncle was the only family he had left, and so it deeply affected him.

the Stormbreaker computers that he was sending out to every school (p. 186). That was how he planned to harm everybody in England.
I really admire the character of Alex because he is very courageous and intelligent. At the beginning of the book, Alex wanted to find out if the
story about his uncle getting in a car accident was true or not, so he went to the auto wreckage center nearest his house to search for the car. Once
he had been searching a lot for the vehicle, he ended up finding it to see it in perfect condition except for bullet holes in the windshield (p. 19). He
heard people coming, so he hid inside the car. Then a big crane picked the car up and starting smashing it in a machine, with Alex still inside! After
all the struggling, he managed to get out of the car just before it went through the part of the machine that totally crushes the car into a cylinder (p.
24). I felt pretty bad for Alex. It must have been hard for him to have to go through a really brutal training camp for something he didn't even want to

Grenache Research Paper
Grenache is the second most planted grape in the world and is widely planted in popular areas like Spain, France and California and is most often
used for rose wine. Wines made with Grenache have little tannin and tend to be sweet and fruity. "Grenache" refers to Grenache Noir, the red variety,
but there is also a Grenache Blanc. Some of the characteristics of the Grenache grape, it has a medium Tannin and medium on the acidity. Medium
Oak is used for Aging. Some of the fruits and others are strawberry, black cherry raspberry, Anise, Tobacco, citrus rind and cinnamon. And has an
ABV of 13.5 to 16%. The flavors of the Grenache grape tend to give away the type of wine to expert wine tasters with its cinnamon and candied fruit

have herbal notes of dried oregano and tobacco if it is grown in the old world regions of Sardinia and Cotes du Rhone. Here are a couple of Grenache

The novel Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz uses description effectively. An example is, Alex hears a knock on the door, it was a butler named
Mr.Grin, he told him to follow him and Mr.Grin begins to open a door."There was a green glow as his fingerprints were read, and a moment later,
the door slid soundlessly open. Everything was different on the other side of the door. From the art and elegance of the main house, Alex could
have stepped in to the next century"(102) By using a lot of descriptions, is easier to picture what Alex is seeing and what is happening. Another
example is, after alex got caught and punched by Mr.grin and alex waked up 'His head was thumping and the side of his face was swollen where
Mr. Grin had hit him. His arms were twisted behind him and the tendons in his shoulder were on fire.'(178) Especially in a book with action and
some violence, being descriptive really helps because you are able to see and read what is happening and what they are feeling. Hence, the description
used in Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz is effective. Description in a book can make very realistic, maybe too

Essay On Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world's most widely recognized red wine grape varieties. It is grown in nearly every major wine producing country
among a diverse spectrum of climates from Canada's Okanagan Valley to Lebanon's Beqaa Valley. Cabernet Sauvignon became internationally
recognized through its prominence in Bordeaux wines where it is often blended with other red grape varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Franc. From
France the grape spread through Europe and to the New World wine regions where it found new homes in California and New Zealand where it is
now highly regarded as Hawks Bay's top wines. For most of the 20th century, it was the world's most widely planted premium red wine grape,

In 1867 the Phylloxera plague struck Europe and almost wiped out all the vineyards in Europe. The Carmenere vines were the most severely struck
and for a very long time it was thought that the variety was extinct. Since then Carmenere has been to difficult and too much of a risk to replant in
many places in Europe.
Far from being extinct, in recent years Carmenere has been discovered to be thriving in several areas outside of France. In South America, mainly
Chile, growers almost inadvertently preserved the grape variety during the last 150 years, due largely to its similarity to Merlot.
Cuttings from the Carmenere grape were imported by Chilean growers from Bordeaux in France during the 19th century. They modelled their wineries
after those in France and in the 1850s cuttings from Bordeaux, which included the Carmenere grape, were planted in the valleys around Santiago.
Thanks to Chile's minimal rainfall and moderate temperatures during the growing season and the protection of the countries natural boundaries,
growers produced healthier crops of Carmenere and there was no spread of phylloxera, or any other decease. During most of the 20th century
Carmenere was inadvertently collected and processed together with Merlot grapes giving Chilean Merlot markedly different properties to those of

Wine: A Secret Ingredient to a Savoury Meal Essay
Using Wines in Cooking Delicious Food Recipes
Want to know a secret ingredient to a fine meal? Simply add wine to any food recipe–and your meal will never be 'bland' or 'boring'.
Wine makes good food tastes even better. Apart from it being a perfect drink after a delicious meal, wines can also be used in cooking mouth–watering
food recipes. Like spices and other food seasoning that add flavour to any dish, a drop of wine in your cooking can intensify, enhance and accent the
aroma and flavour of your favourite dish.
Red or white, a variety of wines can be used as a marinade, a substitute for cooking liquid (i.e., vinegar), or as a flavouring to a finished dish. Indeed,
adding wine into your cooking gives off a fragrant and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Acids, like lemon juice and vinegar, give the wine its sharp bite. The acids in red and white wines help bring out the natural flavours in a mild food
like fish and vegetables. In contrast, tannins give the red wine its bitter element, the same taste you will find in a strong cup of coffee or tea. Wines that
contain tannins work well with strongly flavoured dishes and hearty food such as meats.
Enhance the flavour of any food recipe by adding wine at the right time.
When cooking with wine, always remember that a small quantity is enough to enhance the flavour of the dish. So you need to be careful not to use
too much wine as the flavour can be overpowering. Also make sure to add the wine on the right time so that it can impart its flavour in your dish.
Avoid adding the wine late in the preparation because it can give your dish a harsh quality. For best results, let the wine simmer with the food in order
to accent the aroma and flavour of your cooking.
Use the right type of wine.
Sweet versus dry? White versus red? Don't be afraid to experiment when it comes to cooking with wines. As a general rule, light–flavoured wines go
with delicate flavoured food recipes. The same is true with bold–tasting wines, they will do well with boldly flavoured dishes. However, always
remember that in choosing the type of wines for cooking, you need to consider the flavour that you want to highlight in your recipe. In line with

Also with most fathers gone off to fight in the war the main people buying war bonds at the time were women and children. Bugs Bunny plays to both
those main audiences as mothers know the character from their child's viewing of him. This creates a way for children and their mothers to connect on
the idea of buying war bonds.
Additionally, pathos is an even more prominent example, uniting with ethos to really sell the commercial. All throughout the commercial the mood is
light and inspiring using Bugs Bunny as a cartoon character to his fullest extent. Bugs sings the entire time also either dancing, pointing, or even
performing impossible movements with his body. This creates a very fun environment for the audience as if the commercial is trying to secure them
even though a war is encroaching.The patriotic imagery and music is also pushed with famous American paintings in the backdrops, old American
war songs, and simple war bond songs. The Al Jolson parody is meant to reinforce this also as he during the war played as a stage musician for the
troops, even if now what was shown would be considered in poor taste. In the end all of these factors contribute to creating a very American feel for
the commercial.

The Labrusca variety is the only local vines that they are easy to grow. However, it does not produce good qualitywine like the Europeans did. Sooner,
government prohibition had forced wineries to remove vines and to plan crops instead ("A Brief History of The Okanagan Wine Industry", 2014). The
prohibition was then abolished in 1921.
Commercial wine production was then re–established. The first commercial winemaker, Calona Vineyards in Kelowna has established during 1935.
It used Labrusca vines to create dessert and fortified wines. During the 1960s, the wine industry moved away from fortified wines and focused on
hybrid grapes (Hickton, 2005). Drinkers were being more specific in wine drinking. They search for wines that are suitable to drink and to pair with
food. During the 1980s, winemakers believe that they have to produce quality wine in order to enter the competitive market. They then started to grow
vinifera vines. From this point, the wine industry starts to grow and has been successful in the last few decades.

Oftentimes, wineries would re–use empty wine bottles. Shipping was another problem for Napa Valley andCalifornia wine in general. Expensive
shipping resulted in higher prices for bottles. Principal markets in the East Coast preferred wines from France and Italy because they were cheaper
than California wines (Leve).
Today, the Napa Valley Vintners trade association consists of hundreds of wineries working together to improve the region. This sense of collection
has always been a part of Napa's history. During the late 1870s, Charles Krug, Henry Pellet, and Seneca Ewer created the St. Helena Viticultural Club
where "they agreed to remove the Mission grapes and plant French and Italian grape varieties..." (Leve). This was greatly improved Napa and
California's wine industries. However, a series of climatic events would soon devastate the region.
The first of these events was the spread of Phylloxera, which had destroyed much of Europe's vineyards. Napa's vineyards remedied this by grafting
local rootstocks to their vinifera vines. In a way, Phylloxera's devastating effect on Europe, helped Napa Valley and American vineyards in general.
Tariffs "levied against French wine in 1879 coupled with the small production of European wines, due to the ravages of Phylloxera made California

Victor Frankenstein Lightning Analysis
Lightning is a brief flash of electricity with many consequences. Lightning can be scarring, illuminating, and destructive. It is something to be feared
and respected. In the novel Frankenstein, Mary Shelley utilizes the motif of lightning to represent the disastrous life Victor Frankenstein to shows how
wrong choices can destroy lives. Victor Frankenstein led a difficult life struck by tragedies. Many catastrophes were marked by the appearance of
lightning or the indication of lightning and electricity. The first appearance of this motif came very early in the novel, " It was not splintered by the
shock, but entirely reduced to thin ribbons of wood" (Shelley 22). In the second chapter, Victor reveals that when he was 15, he discovered a tree that
had been absolutely decimated. The tree was not destroyed by lightning in the stereotypical, jagged V–shape way; instead, it was completely torn apart
and shredded. The first lightning strike in the novel was one of great power and strength if it completely destroyed such an old and large oak tree. The
first lightning strike was primarily intended as an element of foreshadowing. As one of the first intricate details related by Victor Frankenstein, it
served the purpose of setting up the rest of the story. In a literal sense, the lightning served the function of taking away the life of a tree. It was a brief
destructive force that carried a large consequence. Similary, Victor made a brief choice that led to much destruction.

Nature's Supernatural Effect on Frankenstein and his monster Nature influences us everyday, whether it is noticed by us or not. However, nature
rarely has a supernatural effect on us in comparison to Victor Frankenstein and his monster. Nature controls the plot of Mary Shelley's book,
Frankenstein. The events that happen in the book are seasonally based making it easily predictable. Victor creates the monster in the fall when
everything is dying and coming to an end. Victor awakens in the spring when the monster is gone and nature begins a new year of life. Victor's
biggest mistake is his ambition. By playing God and controlling nature, trying to preventing death, Victor starts a series of misfortunes for himself
and the people he loves. Victor and the monster struggle to find their places in the world and look toward nature for comfort and guidance. Nature
cures Victor several times from near death. When Victor creates the monster he realizes what he has done and becomes extremely sick. Victor writes
in his letter to Elizabeth, "my health and spirits had long been restored, and they gained strength from the salubrious air I breathed" (Shelley 72).

For convenience rename the brand Petite Sirah as Brand I and brand Sauvignon Blanc as Brand II
For Brand I the cost for grape is $0.80 per bottle and for Brand II the cost for grape is $0.70 per bottle.
It is given that one dollar spent for promoting Brand I produce a demand for 5 bottles and one dollar spent for promoting Brand II produce a demand
for 8 bottles . This means the advertisement cost per bottle for Brand I is $0.20 and the advertisement cost per bottle for Brand II is $0.125.

Similarities Between Bordeaux And Burgundy From The Same...
Introduction This paper will zero in on compare and contrast two different regions which are Bordeaux and Burgundy in the same field: location,
Climate and Terroir, and Grapes. Discuss the early history of the development of each region, including the specific examples. Then review the
location, Climate and Terroir, and Grapes that rank the wines as among the best in the world. To conclude, look into the future of each region to
analyze prospects for continued success.
The history of Bordeaux Wine The history of the Bordeaux wine region dates back to the ancient Romans who were the first people to cultivate,
plant vineyards and produce Bordeaux wine. The Romans took over the area in about 60 BC, and it was starting to earn fame for its wines as far
back as in 1152 when Henry of England wed Eleanor of Aquitaine, who controlled the region. The Bordeaux appellation was perfect for cultivating
grapes for wine. It offered the unique combination of the right soil for growing grapes used in the production of wine coupled with easy access to
the Garonne river, which was needed to help ship the wines. Because after a series of attacks on the city in 1206, greater freedom was granted, so it
lead to the 12th century became the start of Bordeaux's golden age. Over the centuries winemakers of the region have mastered both the art of
blending and have learnt to work with Bordeaux's unique climate and terrain to produce a wide diversity of reds, whites and roses all

Natural Objects Used Convey A Symbolic Meaning
Natural Objects used to convey a Symbolic Meaning
Percy Shelley was a writer during the Romantic Era, often known for his lyric poetry. In lyric poetry, the mood is often musical and emotional, often
represented in rhythm and rhyme (Portnoy). The writer of a lyric poem uses words that express his state of mind, his perceptions, or his feelings.
Shelley composes lyric poetry that makes use of the language, imagery, and metaphors to represent a symbolic meaning of the object he is addressing
in each poem (Portnoy). Shelley often uses concrete images in his poetry to convey an abstract idea. Shelley uses natural objects to represent a
symbolic meaning throughout Mont Blanc, Hymn to Intellectual Beauty, and Ode to the West Wind. In Mont... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

Shelley uses the way water flows through a riverbank to symbolize the way our thought flows through our mind 'The source of human thought its
tribute brings, Of water, – with a sound of half its own, Such as a feeble brook will oft assume, In the wild woods, among the mountains lone, Where
waterfalls around it leap for ever' (Shelley 871). Thoughts rush into the mind filling the brain, similarly as water rushes down a riverbank, filling the
riverbank until it can hold no more. 'Within this mind human thought brings its tribute, that is, giving the external world what it owes to it, like a brook
flowing as a tributary into a mighty river' (Portnoy). The beginning of the second stanza, Shelley states 'Thus thou, Ravine of Arve– dark, deep Ravine
– Thou many–coloured, many–voice vale' (Shelley 871) to further symbolize the way our thoughts flow through our mind, just as the River of Arve
flows through this ravine. Shelley 'turns from his own private inward musing to look at the scene in front of him, the ravine of the River Arve at the
foot of Mount Blanc' (Portnoy). Shelley uses the many colours reflecting off the River Arve 'Thou many–colour, many–voice vale' (Shelley 871) to
symbolize the way our many different memories can affect the thoughts within our minds. The final line of the fifth stanza ends the poem by
questioning the vacancy found in silence and solitude 'And what were thou, and earth, and stars, and sea, If to the human mind's

the roadrunner for the fourth or fifth time, I started laughing uncontrollably. I then watched a Bugs Bunny show and started laughing whenever I saw
Elmer Fudd shoot Daffy Duck and his bill went twirling around his head. The next day, I pushed my brother off acliff and shot my dog to see ifs its

Some watched cartoons that had many violent and aggressive acts; others watched shows that did not have any kind of violence. The researchers
noticed real differences between the children who watched violent shows and those who watched non–violent shows. Children who watched the violent
shows were more likely to argue, disobey, strike playmates, and become impatient ( ). Children's minds are like sponges; they take in everything
around them, and unless they are told something is not ok, they will believe that it is ok to do the example presented to them.
From personal observation of working around children for about twenty hours per week, children do imitate the violent acts they see on television.
Physical Violence is more notable in boys than girls, whereas girls are more violent verbally than physically. I note two different instances when
entertaining a group of kids in a birthday party. At a birthday party of nine–year–old boys, they tend to become bored and distracted very easily. I
turned my back for only a few minutes when a boy began imitating wrestling moves he had seen on a wrestling television show. I am sure the show he
saw was for entertainment purposes only and was never meant to be reenacted; however, he was under the impression that the wrestling moves were
ok to try on his friends. At a ten–year–old girls birthday party, the theme of the party was Lizzie McGuire, a popular sitcom on the

Wine consumers hardly think about price when it comes to buying. For the lower grad cheaper wines, the power of the buyer is greater; but when
in comes to premium brands of wine, the power of the buyer is low. 4. Threat of New Entrants The treat of new entrants is low. The cost to start a
vineyard is really expensive. Most wine firms have been around for a while and are some sort of family business or a major corporation. So their
industry know–how, economies of scale advantage, and learning curve cost advantage makes them hard to imitate. Plus when you start a vineyard,
there is no payback for at least five years. 5. Threat of Substitute Products The treat of substitute products is high for the wine industry in general.
Wine is not the number one alcoholic beverage in the world. Consumers drink beer, liquor, distilled spirits, and other drinks when wanting to
consume alcohol. Vineyards are now being bought out buy liquor and beer companies, such as Gallo and Diageo. There are many substitute
products for wine. PROPOSED SOLUTIONS In 2001 there were over 1 million wine producers worldwide, and no firm accounted for more than 1%

The decline in global wine consumption from 1980 to 2000 is the consequence of global population growth being biased towards non–wine–consuming
regions (i.e. Africa, Middle East and Asia) and a changing alcohol consumption pattern in traditional wine consuming regions.
For example, total alcohol consumption in Europe has declined over the past few decades while beer and spirits have increased market penetration.

Production Of Wine Production : Viticulture And Wine Making

of the aspects of its nature, spatial patters, and future directions of viticulture on a global scale.
On a global level the wine industry involves two major undertakings: viticulture and wine making. Viticulture is a branch of the horticulture science,

These specific climate conditions assist in growing grapes to their desired quality to produce wine, rarely are grapes grown out of these regions with
growers having to adapt to local conditions.
Globally, viticulture spatial patterns can be partly identified by a large new world grape growing increase. According to table 1.1 China has
overtook the old world countries in grape growing at 14% globally, a large increase from China's previous position in 2005. Although with this
increase of grape growing in China new world countries still account for the largest area of vineyards. There are 7,519,000 million hectares of
vineyards globally with Spain having the largest amount per country at 1.02 million as seen in
Table 1.1: Grape Growing Trends. in graphic 1.1. France, Italy, and Spain together account for 59% of all wine exports and Chile, Australia, and the

The current trends in global wine consumption and production are exemplified by new world and old world wine patterns. The global wine industry

Flower Cost Angelica's Service Club: A Streetcar Named Desire

of each flower was set at that purchase price (0.50) plus 40%. And finally, we know that they want to make a profit of $500. Since the price of each

One example of how Alex is resourceful is when he was trapped in a giant aquarium with a dangerous jellyfish inside. In order to survive he had to
use what he had with him. According to the story ВЁAlex held the tube against the metal corners at the front of the tank and did his best to
squeeze a long line of cream all the way down the length of the metalВЁ (Horowitz 162) This shows Alex's resourcefulness because when it didn't
look like he was going to survive because he was close to drowning and getting stung by a poisonous jellyfish he escaped by using a special cream
he had to melt through the metal support beams on the tank which made the tank break open. Another example of how Alex was resourceful is

Abstract:
Wine production in Europe today is dominated by small family vineyards and cooperative wineries, while in the New World viticulture and viniculture

governments to introduce laws ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Section one argues that traditional grape and wine production favored small scale integrated production. From the mid nineteenth century producers
had to adapt to three major exogenous events: the integration of national and international markets, the appearance of new vine diseases and
production shortages that these provoked, and the major advances in the knowledge of fermentation and the development of wine making equipment
that produced economies of scale and which allowed cheap table wines to be produced in hot climates. These changes encouraged an expansion of
production in hot climates in the New World and a shift in the locus of production of cheap table wines from Europe's centre to the periphery. Thus
while the four Midi departments and Algeria produced the equivalent of less than 15 per cent of France's domestic wine consumption in the 1820s,
this figure had reached 50 per cent by 1910. Other regions, such as La Mancha in Spain or Puglia in Italy experienced similar changes, although at later
dates. By the turn of the twentieth century, a combination of higher yields and increase in adulteration flooded wine

The Silver Oak Winery was established in 1972 by the Raymond T. Duncan and a friend, Justin Meyer in the Napa Valley Region in California.
Undoubtedly Duncan had always possessed an affinity for the Napa Valley Region and he held a goal of establishing a winery in this charming area
of California. Because Duncan enjoyed no viticulture experience of his own, he relied on his friend Justin to plant and manage the vineyards. ("Our
Story.") Although the Napa Valley is small in nature with a length of around thirty miles long and only a few miles wide in distance, the valley is
replete with numerous diverse microclimates and soil types which leads to the cultivation of a variety of high quality wine grapes. Many wines that are
grown in this area include Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir. Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel and Merlot. Napa Valley enjoys a dry Mediterranean climate
which allows for a high quality of premium grapes. ("Napa Valley American Viticultural Area (AVA).") Raymond and Justin conceived a unique idea
for their winery. Rather than producing multiple varietals, they would focus on a single wine – Cabernet Sauvignon. Specifically, their goal was to
produce a delicious wine from the genesis and to achieve this goal, they committed to an extensive aging program of twenty–five months in American
oak barrels, and fifteen–twenty months of cellaring in a bottle. ("Our Story.") As a result, the first harvest from Silver Oak's Alexander

sensitive to viticultural hazards, such as frost, and more susceptible to grape disease such as Downey mildew. However, with the development of new

Global Wine War Analysis
1.
Due to French history and tradition it was possible to gain a strong image in regard to vinery and example, which can be highlighted might be the
invention of Champaign.
The experience of France as a quality wine producer going back to the middle ages can be regarded as a source of competitive advantage. Another
source is the strong wine culture in France creating a positive image for customers. The wine industry by itself is a very important economic factor in
France, in the mid 18th century the wine industry accounted for 17% of the overall industry. As a consequence, in 1855 the government classified

c. Advice to the French Minister of Agriculture
Help your producers sell their vine: provide more funds for marketing campaigns and fund workshops on how they can identify their target group and
do targeted, cost–efficient marketing
4.
a. Australian Minister of Agriculture:
The labeling of wine according to regions in Australia has been already done but not with protection by law. Tighten laws in relevance of how to label
wines can be beneficial in the long run when it comes to value creation, as can be successfully recognized in France.
Simultaneously, a financially subsidy should support wine yards with their surplus production hence the successful long–term strategy "Directions to
2025", which foresees value growth by 2015 and global leadership on the wine market by 2025 might be eased. This is necessary since Australia will
cannot compete on price in the long–term bringing to mind low cost production countries such as Chile.
b. Australian wine industry association
Align marketing activities with the plan of "Direction to 2025". Support the Australian's wine image from cheap and cheerful into a classified and
recognizable labeling scheme. It might be added that the new scheme can be restructured in a way that it does not mix up psychographic targeting with
regional ones, since this might be confusing. The

Export Strategy for a Chilean Winery
In November 2001, Patricio Middleton, CEO of ViГ±a MontGras, a $7 million Chilean winery, was driving through the Colchagua Valley to meet
American journalists from Wine Enthusiast magazine. Looking at the endless vines that surrounded him, he wondered how those newly planted grapes
would find a market. Chile, the world's 10th–largest wine producer, had enjoyed an export boom in the 1990s and had grown to become the
fourth–largest wine exporter, its wines positioned mainly in the lower end of the fine–wines price range. (See Exhibit 1 for world wine production and
exports, and Exhibit 2 for price ranges.) ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Nevertheless, the industry remained fragmented, with the largest player, Californian E&J Gallo, accounting for 1.5% worldwide market share.1 The
industry was also in transition at the consumer and distribution levels.
Old World versus New World
The Old World wine industry, centered on France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Germany, was characterized by long
–standing traditions of wine
production, industry fragmentation, high levels of regulation from production to labeling and marketing, and strong domestic markets. Most Old World
wines were made from a blend of different grapes and were named after the growing regions themselves, such as Bordeaux, Chianti, or Rioja, which
resulted in considerable complexity of designation–for example, the French regulatory system included 450 different apellations d'origine controlГ©es
(AOCs, or registered origin names). The Old World philosophy of wine production was based on the importance of terroir (terrain), which assumed that
every vineyard was unique because of differences including soil, microclimate, topography, and the skill and practices of the winemaker. The New
World wine industry, dominated by Australia, the United States, South Africa, Chile, and Argentina, was more concentrated and more focused on
exports. In addition, the lack of stringent regulation in the New World had spurred innovation in production processes and a more scientific

Blanc was born on 19 November 1949 in BesanГ§on, a city in Eastern France, making him now 64 years old. He began cooking when his father gave him a colander and a vegetable foraging guide for his 10th birthday and whatever he could manage to find in their garden and surroundings, his mother – the inspirational "Maman Blanc" would teach him to cook. His mother believed in cooking healthy, local, fresh produce which was "full of goodness and love" and this inspired both Raymond and his two sisters to follow with this trend. Blanc is completely self–taught and has never received official**l culinary training in any form. During Blanc's first job in a restaurant, he criticised the head chef for his lazy cooking and thus had a pan thrown at him which broke his nose and jaw – he also got fired for this. In the year 1972, Blanc came to England and worked as a waiter at the Oxfordshire restaurant, Rose Revived.

Right when she said, "I'm feeling dizzy, you go on," I knew she was tricking him. But, of course, Alex just happened to have the tool that can burn through metal in his pocket, so he used it on the fish tank and it collapsed. I was also surprised that Sayle had implanted the small pox virus into the Stormbreaker computers that he was sending out to every school (p. 186). That was how he planned to harm everybody in England. I really admire the character of Alex because he is very courageous and intelligent. At the beginning of the book, Alex wanted to find out if the story about his uncle getting in a car accident was true or not, so he went to the auto wreckage center nearest his house to search for the car. Once he had been searching a lot for the vehicle, he ended up finding it to see it in perfect condition except for bullet holes in the windshield (p. 19). He heard people coming, so he hid inside the car. Then a big crane picked the car up and starting smashing it in a machine, with Alex still inside! After all the struggling, he managed to get out of the car just before it went through the part of the machine that totally crushes the car into a cylinder (p. 24). I felt pretty bad for Alex.

It is grown in nearly every major wine producing country among a diverse spectrum of climates from Canada's Okanagan Valley to Lebanon's Beqaa Valley. Cabernet Sauvignon became internationally recognized through its prominence in Bordeaux wines where it is often blended with other red grape varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Franc. From France the grape spread through Europe and to the New World wine regions where it found new homes in California and New Zealand where it is now highly regarded as Hawks Bay's top wines. For most of the 20th century, it was the world's most widely planted premium red wine grape, although that accolade is now held by Merlot. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In 1867 the Phylloxera plague struck Europe and almost wiped out all the vineyards in Europe. The Carmenere vines were the most severely struck and for a very long time it was thought that the variety was extinct. Since then Carmenere has been to difficult and too much of a risk to replant in many places in Europe. Far from being extinct, in recent years Carmenere has been discovered to be thriving in several areas outside of France. In South America, mainly Chile, growers almost inadvertently preserved the grape variety during the last 150 years, due largely to its similarity to Merlot. Cuttings from the Carmenere grape were imported by Chilean growers from Bordeaux in France during the 19th century. They modelled their wineries after those in France and in the 1850s cuttings from Bordeaux, which included the Carmenere grape, were planted in the valleys around Santiago. Thanks to Chile's minimal rainfall and moderate temperatures during the growing season and the protection of the countries natural boundaries, growers produced healthier crops of Carmenere and there was no spread of phylloxera, or any other decease. During most of the 20th century Carmenere was inadvertently collected and processed together with Merlot grapes giving Chilean Merlot markedly different properties to those of Merlot produced ...

  • 10. Wine: A Secret Ingredient to a Savoury Meal Essay Using Wines in Cooking Delicious Food Recipes Want to know a secret ingredient to a fine meal? Simply add wine to any food recipe–and your meal will never be 'bland' or 'boring'. Wine makes good food tastes even better. Apart from it being a perfect drink after a delicious meal, wines can also be used in cooking mouth–watering food recipes. Like spices and other food seasoning that add flavour to any dish, a drop of wine in your cooking can intensify, enhance and accent the aroma and flavour of your favourite dish. Red or white, a variety of wines can be used as a marinade, a substitute for cooking liquid (i.e., vinegar), or as a flavouring to a finished dish. Indeed, adding wine into your cooking gives off a fragrant and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Acids, like lemon juice and vinegar, give the wine its sharp bite. The acids in red and white wines help bring out the natural flavours in a mild food like fish and vegetables. In contrast, tannins give the red wine its bitter element, the same taste you will find in a strong cup of coffee or tea. Wines that contain tannins work well with strongly flavoured dishes and hearty food such as meats. Enhance the flavour of any food recipe by adding wine at the right time. When cooking with wine, always remember that a small quantity is enough to enhance the flavour of the dish. So you need to be careful not to use too much wine as the flavour can be overpowering. Also make sure to add the wine on the right time so that it can impart its flavour in your dish. Avoid adding the wine late in the preparation because it can give your dish a harsh quality. For best results, let the wine simmer with the food in order to accent the aroma and flavour of your cooking. Use the right type of wine. Sweet versus dry? White versus red? Don't be afraid to experiment when it comes to cooking with wines. As a general rule, light–flavoured wines go with delicate flavoured food recipes. The same is true with bold–tasting wines, they will do well with boldly flavoured dishes. However, always remember that in choosing the type of wines for cooking, you need to consider the flavour that you want to highlight in your recipe. In line with

Bugs Bunny Propagandist Imagine audiences sitting in the movie theater trying to escape from looming hardships of World War II. They sit and watch as the commercials begin to play when one of the most familiar tunes in animation begins to play. The commercial presents itself deceptively using the classic Looney Tunes curtain opening and theme music with the simple title of "Bugs Bunny." The only hint at the true purpose of advertising at this point is the producer listing of the U.S. Treasury Dept. Defense Savings Staff.

Also with most fathers gone off to fight in the war the main people buying war bonds at the time were women and children. Bugs Bunny plays to both those main audiences as mothers know the character from their child's viewing of him. This creates a way for children and their mothers to connect on the idea of buying war bonds. Additionally, pathos is an even more prominent example, uniting with ethos to really sell the commercial. All throughout the commercial the mood is light and inspiring using Bugs Bunny as a cartoon character to his fullest extent. Bugs sings the entire time also either dancing, pointing, or even performing impossible movements with his body. This creates a very fun environment for the audience as if the commercial is trying to secure them even though a war is encroaching.The patriotic imagery and music is also pushed with famous American paintings in the backdrops, old American war songs, and simple war bond songs. The Al Jolson parody is meant to reinforce this also as he during the war played as a stage musician for the troops, even if now what was shown would be considered in poor taste. In the end all of these factors contribute to creating a very American feel for the commercial.

Sooner, government prohibition had forced wineries to remove vines and to plan crops instead ("A Brief History of The Okanagan Wine Industry", 2014). The prohibition was then abolished in 1921. Commercial wine production was then re–established. The first commercial winemaker, Calona Vineyards in Kelowna has established during 1935. It used Labrusca vines to create dessert and fortified wines. During the 1960s, the wine industry moved away from fortified wines and focused on hybrid grapes (Hickton, 2005). Drinkers were being more specific in wine drinking. They search for wines that are suitable to drink and to pair with food. During the 1980s, winemakers believe that they have to produce quality wine in order to enter the competitive market. They then started to grow vinifera vines. From this point, the wine industry starts to grow and has been successful in the last few decades. 3.Appellation System The appellation system in the Okanagan Valley is called the BC VQA, which stands for British Columbia Vinters Quality Alliance.

Shipping was another problem for Napa Valley andCalifornia wine in general. Expensive shipping resulted in higher prices for bottles. Principal markets in the East Coast preferred wines from France and Italy because they were cheaper than California wines (Leve). Today, the Napa Valley Vintners trade association consists of hundreds of wineries working together to improve the region. This sense of collection has always been a part of Napa's history. During the late 1870s, Charles Krug, Henry Pellet, and Seneca Ewer created the St. Helena Viticultural Club where "they agreed to remove the Mission grapes and plant French and Italian grape varieties..." (Leve). This was greatly improved Napa and California's wine industries. However, a series of climatic events would soon devastate the region. The first of these events was the spread of Phylloxera, which had destroyed much of Europe's vineyards. Napa's vineyards remedied this by grafting local rootstocks to their vinifera vines. In a way, Phylloxera's devastating effect on Europe, helped Napa Valley and American vineyards in general. Tariffs "levied against French wine in 1879 coupled with the small production of European wines, due to the ravages of Phylloxera made California wines more popular than ever." (Leve).

It is something to be feared and respected. In the novel Frankenstein, Mary Shelley utilizes the motif of lightning to represent the disastrous life Victor Frankenstein to shows how wrong choices can destroy lives. Victor Frankenstein led a difficult life struck by tragedies. Many catastrophes were marked by the appearance of lightning or the indication of lightning and electricity. The first appearance of this motif came very early in the novel, " It was not splintered by the shock, but entirely reduced to thin ribbons of wood" (Shelley 22). In the second chapter, Victor reveals that when he was 15, he discovered a tree that had been absolutely decimated. The tree was not destroyed by lightning in the stereotypical, jagged V–shape way; instead, it was completely torn apart and shredded. The first lightning strike in the novel was one of great power and strength if it completely destroyed such an old and large oak tree. The first lightning strike was primarily intended as an element of foreshadowing. As one of the first intricate details related by Victor Frankenstein, it served the purpose of setting up the rest of the story. In a literal sense, the lightning served the function of taking away the life of a tree. It was a brief destructive force that carried a large consequence.

The events that happen in the book are seasonally based making it easily predictable. Victor creates the monster in the fall when everything is dying and coming to an end. Victor awakens in the spring when the monster is gone and nature begins a new year of life. Victor's biggest mistake is his ambition. By playing God and controlling nature, trying to preventing death, Victor starts a series of misfortunes for himself and the people he loves.

Discuss the early history of the development of each region, including the specific examples. Then review the location, Climate and Terroir, and Grapes that rank the wines as among the best in the world. To conclude, look into the future of each region to analyze prospects for continued success. The history of Bordeaux Wine The history of the Bordeaux wine region dates back to the ancient Romans who were the first people to cultivate, plant vineyards and produce Bordeaux wine. The Romans took over the area in about 60 BC, and it was starting to earn fame for its wines as far back as in 1152 when Henry of England wed Eleanor of Aquitaine, who controlled the region. The Bordeaux appellation was perfect for cultivating grapes for wine. It offered the unique combination of the right soil for growing grapes used in the production of wine coupled with easy access to the Garonne river, which was needed to help ship the wines. Because after a series of attacks on the city in 1206, greater freedom was granted, so it lead to the 12th century became the start of Bordeaux's golden age. Over the centuries winemakers of the region have mastered both the art of blending and have learnt to work with Bordeaux's unique climate and terrain to produce a wide diversity of reds, whites and roses all ...

Shelley composes lyric poetry that makes use of the language, imagery, and metaphors to represent a symbolic meaning of the object he is addressing in each poem (Portnoy).

Shelley uses the way water flows through a riverbank to symbolize the way our thought flows through our mind 'The source of human thought its tribute brings, Of water, – with a sound of half its own, Such as a feeble brook will oft assume, In the wild woods, among the mountains lone, Where waterfalls around it leap for ever' (Shelley 871). Thoughts rush into the mind filling the brain, similarly as water rushes down a riverbank, filling the riverbank until it can hold no more. 'Within this mind human thought brings its tribute, that is, giving the external world what it owes to it, like a brook flowing as a tributary into a mighty river' (Portnoy).

Some watched cartoons that had many violent and aggressive acts; others watched shows that did not have any kind of violence. The researchers noticed real differences between the children who watched violent shows and those who watched non–violent shows. Children who watched the violent shows were more likely to argue, disobey, strike playmates, and become impatient ( ). Children's minds are like sponges; they take in everything around them, and unless they are told something is not ok, they will believe that it is ok to do the example presented to them. From personal observation of working around children for about twenty hours per week, children do imitate the violent acts they see on television. Physical Violence is more notable in boys than girls, whereas girls are more violent verbally than physically. I note two different instances when entertaining a group of kids in a birthday party. At a birthday party of nine–year–old boys, they tend to become bored and distracted very easily. I turned my back for only a few minutes when a boy began imitating wrestling moves he had seen on a wrestling television show. I am sure the show he saw was for entertainment purposes only and was never meant to be reenacted; however, he was under the impression that the wrestling moves were ok to try on his friends.

Most wine firms have been around for a while and are some sort of family business or a major corporation.

As technological change endangered existing rents, growers, wine–makers, and merchants lobbied governments to introduce laws ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Section one argues that traditional grape and wine production favored small scale integrated production. From the mid nineteenth century producers had to adapt to three major exogenous events: the integration of national and international markets, the appearance of new vine diseases and production shortages that these provoked, and the major advances in the knowledge of fermentation and the development of wine making equipment that produced economies of scale and which allowed cheap table wines to be produced in hot climates. These changes encouraged an expansion of production in hot climates in the New World and a shift in the locus of production of cheap table wines from Europe's centre to the periphery. Thus while the four Midi departments and Algeria produced the equivalent of less than 15 per cent of France's domestic wine consumption in the 1820s, this figure had reached 50 per cent by 1910. Other regions, such as La Mancha in Spain or Puglia in Italy experienced similar changes, although at later dates.

Undoubtedly Duncan had always possessed an affinity for the Napa Valley Region and he held a goal of establishing a winery in this charming area of California. Because Duncan enjoyed no viticulture experience of his own, he relied on his friend Justin to plant and manage the vineyards. ("Our Story.")

Many wines that are grown in this area include Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir. Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel and Merlot. Napa Valley enjoys a dry Mediterranean climate which allows for a high quality of premium grapes. ("Napa Valley American Viticultural Area (AVA).")

Most Old World wines were made from a blend of different grapes and were named after the growing regions themselves, such as Bordeaux, Chianti, or Rioja, which resulted in considerable complexity of designation–for example, the French regulatory system included 450 different apellations d'origine controlГ©es (AOCs, or registered origin names). The Old World philosophy of wine production was based on the importance of terroir (terrain), which assumed that every vineyard was unique because of differences including soil, microclimate, topography, and the skill and practices of the winemaker.
