A study about benefits of Ecologic wine by the University of Burgundy and the Institute of Organic Agriculture in Switzerland.

A study at the University of Burgundy and the Institute of Organic Agriculture in Switzerland shows that wine - producing pesticide-free organic - containing double the amount of resveratrol ( molecule present in grapes and wine and which are attributed anticancer and antioxidant ) than not subjected to these practices.

I remember an interview with Juan Carlos Sancha ensuring that resveratrol - molecule present in grapes and wine and attributed to anti-cancer and antioxidant properties , is a defense mechanism of the plant.

According to that study, organic red and white wine contains 12 milligrams of resveratrol per liter compared to 6 of a wine, whose grapes have been treated with pesticides and chemical fertilizers " in an abusive manner."

Sancha , who is also the winemaker by profession, has argued that organic production wines are the "most natural" and remarked "abuse of pesticides and chemical fertilizers , which have caused a significant salinization Ebro " .

According Sancha , " the wine must not give rise to scandals such " particularly by the need also to give security to the consumer that eats a healthy wine.

This researcher has also expressed caution with the use of transgenic yeasts in improving wine quality and has even described as " unfortunate " implementation.

Sancha should be understood that further research in this field " wisely" and even calls for differentiation in labeling free of genetic engineering that are not products.

(These data are from an interview with EFE ) .

This post should print wine importing companies in UK and worldwide. I would like to know what they think, and what they are doing about it.

Cabernet France , Merlot , Tempranillo and Syrah - The Future

Cabernet France , Merlot , Tempranillo and Syrah

This week I've been busy , despite everything , has given me time to examine closely a great wine from organic cultivation . To start talking about it, I have to mention that it is a very balanced wine, have used a very risky mexcla grapes and has left them perfect . The composition is Cabernet France , Merlot , Tempranillo and Syrah . A approximate percentages 50, 30 , 10 and 10 . A first glance may seem a lot of grapes for a single bottle but it really is a very fortunate mix. I was fortunate to accompany it with rice with partridge and a couple of friends . It is very interesting since we are talking about an ecological winery with an annual production of about 5000 bottles. We are talking about limited editions at bargain prices . the quality is amazing and the price too.
Talking to different people arrived at the conclusion that the wine industry needs change , real change. We are all very tired of seeing the same wines on the shelves of supermarkets and specialty shops , we want something more than just wine , we want new experiences, signature wines , we feel the work of human hands . We are tired of the production chain , every day we are most exquisite , this is the reason that more and more people buy these wines directly to the winery. The solution is that importers meet this sector is more important every day and stop trading with great wineries that make us each day more standards. We will see changes on that line this year , who does not adapt will lose market share, here in London are already worrying about this issue and are starting to move .

The added value and expertise.

The added value and expertise.

Today I was watching an exhibition of art from a private collection rather important . The Wallace Collection . Amazing paintings of VELAZQUEZ, REMBRANDT and CANALETTO . It's great to switch public art with private collections. There should be more private collections that are exposed to the public , promote private museums and private art collections . London is a wonderful place to see art but in these last years have been observed as the number of galleries and specialty shops was decreasing . Last Friday , I read an article in the newspaper , in which the British , they felt to be losing their category of great lords, because in these last years had closed many art galleries and the art market had fallen sharply, in fact , the figures maintained them through foreign investment and tourism. They are trying to reintroduce the culture, art and morals to the middle class and the upper class , who was lately focused more eccentricities than spend on art and culture.

Bankers and famous, new speculators in the wine sector

Many internationally famous footballers , banking families of Jewish origin , etc. . In these last 5 years , everyone has invested in buying a winery or a number of interesting actions. We saw this behavior with the building , and were able to observe how the speculation led to chaos to many companies and many families . As to the issue of the wineries I get the feeling that the same thing will happen , great fortunes buying low-quality vineyards , built a cutting edge building and spend lots of money on advertising and marketing. The funny thing is that each day appears a new "expert" on wines which corroborates the high quality of these wines . All this seems to me a theater , worst of all, big name prestigious wineries are partnering with these gentlemen , these men come from other businesses such as banking, insurance and rating . No that order , but I believe you're missing the craft and thus purity was also lost. However, increasingly we are finding new wineries that use ecological methods , seeking purity of more natural wine , giving priority to the real protagonist here is wine.

Exclusivity is cheaper than the production chain , only have to pay the raw material and the production of artisan production chain has to pay to many executives , many advisers , many marketing costs , representation , trade shows and Rates several upscale wineries ...

Visionaries Ecological Wine and Importers

Visionaries Ecological Wine and Importers

It's easy to admire the quality of a ROLEX watch, It is known worldwide. For me there has not merit, if we talk about geniuses making watches should talk about the people who began to manufacture and sell these watches more than 100 years ago. That same goes for wine and I guess almost everything in life. The next option I'm thinking is going to see APPLE managers and explain the world of ecological wine, I say they are the ones who invest in qualified young, new businesses and have vision for the future. The remaining companies expect to succeed to copy them to other ideas, luck is almost always tend to go late.

Where are the I+D departments? Where are the visionaries? Where are the true entrepreneurs?

Times are changing, ways of doing things are also changing. Back to the origin is not turn back. The time of the big factories already finished, evolution leads to small-scale production of high quality, the craftsmanship, the care for the product. We return slowly to the high quality, the exquisite, the limited.

Marketing of the next 5 years

Marketing of the next 5 years.




That's a good question , how will we marketing the next years? I recently read an interview that they made him the prestigious Richard Morris marketing specialist , it is amazing how these people are able to create and communicate with the world . We assume that we are facing a turning point , this is pioneering systems . Systems that operate using 70-20-10 .

On this basis , the wineries are generally quite obsolete about Marketing is concerned, the sector is rather stagnant , at least the Spanish . It is always the same, in Spain there is a large raw material is not known to sell. Every day I see more clearly , it's not that bad , the bad is that it does little to change that.

Not enough to sell the producion each year , small organic wine producers have to be clear that this is not the goal . The price that a British pay for a bottle of wine is between 600% - 800 % more than the producer receives , in fact , the dealer margin greater than the producer . Why? because they use good marketing techniques and because they have qualified staff performing these steps . I see it every day here in London and it gives me a lot of grief . I never tire of repeating that small wineries should do well their sales tasks and not settle undersell their production.







El marketing de los próximos 5 años.


Esa es una buena pregunta, ¿cómo vamos a comercializar los próximos años ? Hace poco leí una entrevista que le el prestigioso especialista en marketing de Richard Morris hicieron , es increíble cómo estas personas son capaces de crear y comunicarse con el mundo . Suponemos que estamos ante un punto de inflexión , esto es los sistemas pioneros . Los sistemas que operan utilizando 70-20-10 .

Sobre esta base, las bodegas son generalmente bastante obsoleta sobre la comercialización se refiere, el sector se encuentra bastante estancado , al menos la española . Siempre es lo mismo, en España hay una gran materia prima que no se sabe vender. Cada día veo más claro , no es tan malo , lo malo es que se hace muy poco para cambiar eso.

No es suficiente para vender la producción de cada año , los pequeños productores de vino ecológico tiene que quedar claro que esta no es la meta . El precio que un pago británica para una botella de vino es entre 600 % - 800 % más que el productor recibe , de hecho , el margen del distribuidor mayor que el productor . ¿Por qué? porque utilizar buenas técnicas de marketing y porque cuentan con personal cualificado de realizar estos pasos . Lo veo todos los días aquí en Londres y me da mucha pena . No me canso de repetir que las pequeñas bodegas deben hacer bien sus tareas de ventas y no conformarse malvender su producción.

New trends in cyclical temperature wine, sugar levels , hydric reality environment , autochthonous strains of the peninsula ...

This and many more walk reviewing data in field notebooks of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries of well-known places of wine production in Spain . Besides the pursuit of purity , and the search for the origin want to incorporate new details in the production centers to provide customers who prefer their cellar. For example , we are seeing as they are placing resistant cameras water to observe in real time the crop from anywhere on the planet , recording frame super reproduction in to see the development of the plant , it can also be the daily work of the vineyards and as following harvest live . All this in order to get to tell the difference , looking for the craftsman, the attention to detail , exclusivity , moving away from the big productions ...

No it would have been of Monet, Van Gogh , Raphael, Picasso had they mounted production chain Artworks ...

Every day I see companies in the world , specifically in UK and now gives me the feeling that import their wines from " souvenir " of each country ...

Nuevas tendencias en las temperaturas cíclicas del vino, niveles de azucares, realidad hidrica del entorno, cepas autóctonas de la península...

Esto y muchos mas datos se andan revisando en los cuadernos de campo del siglo XVI y XVII de lugares muy conocidos de producción vinicola en España. Ademas de la búsqueda de la pureza, y de la búsqueda del origen quieren incorporar nuevos detalles en los centros de producción para facilitarle a los clientes que se decanten por su bodega. Por ejemplo, estamos viendo como se están colocando cámaras resistentes al agua para observar a tiempo real la cosecha desde cualquier parte del planeta, grabaciones de fotogramas con super reproducion para ver el desarrollo de la planta, también puede verse el trabajo diario a los viñedos así como seguir la cosecha en directo. Todo esto con el fin de conseguir encontrar la diferencia, buscando lo artesano, el gusto por los detalles, la exclusividad, alejándose de las grandes producciones...

No se que hubiera sido de Monet, Van Gogh, Rafael, Picasso si hubieran montado produccion en cadena de sus obras de arte...

Cada día veo a importadores en el mundo, concretamente ahora en UK y me da la sensación que importan sus vinos desde "tiendas de souvenirs" de cada país...
