| [05/16/2008, 12:43] | Australia, come si muove la concorrenza del vino? |  | 
L’Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation è una organizzazione australiana che si occupa del vino del paese, lo studia e ne trae i possibili sviluppi aiutando le cantine locali. Per tutto il 2006 ha sentito i pareri delle persone coinvolte nel business del vino e si è proiettata verso il futuro con il Wine Australia: Directions to 2025. Pensate: una strategia per l’intero comprato vinicolo australiano da qui al 2025! Lungimiranti, direi. Lo studio è una fonte di informazioni preziose: un documento in 24 pagine scaricabile da chiunque in formato pdf. Adesso, non si è certo fermata. E’ stato da poco lanciato, infatti, il Regional Heroes Tasting Challenge: un sito internet che mette alla prova i consumatori sulle loro conoscenze personali sul vino. Il sito è descritto come una virtual wine tasting. Ecco come funziona: prendi un vino e cerchi di selezionare le caratteristiche appropriate per descriverlo attraverso un range di opzioni. Ricevi quindi un punteggio e in più la possibilità di cercare un altro vino oppure di imparare qualcosa di aggiuntivo sulle regioni del vino australiane. Il sito è una campagna di e-marketing rivolta al consumatore inglese. Potenzialmente gli utenti coinvolti dovrebbero essere intorno ai 40 mila. Per chi vi partecipa sarà possibile vincere una cantinetta con vini selezionati dell’Australia, tra cui Clare Valley Riesling, Barossa Valley Shiraz and Hunter Semillon. Considerazione: mentre in Italia siamo ancora a ragionare sui siti internet tradizionali, in Australia si va già oltre coinvolgendo i consumatori, rendendoli partecipi, … Questa è la concorrenza.

 Tecnorati | Tatachilla Growers Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2006 | | | Anecdotally, Sauvignon Blanc, alone and in blends, seems to be the quaffer of choice for casual work lunches and similar occasions. It's not hard to see why; flavours are for the most part easily discerned and unchallenging. There are some quite lovely versions of the "classic dry white" blend. The Grosset springs immediately to mind, and the Marga... |  | | |
| Perfect Summer White | | | OK, it?s 95 degrees outside and I needed something cool and refreshing. Cinnabar came to my rescue! You may recognize Cinnabar?s flagship wine, the red Bordeaux blend called Mercury Rising, but you may not have known that they have a white version named (very creatively I might add) Mercury Rising Blanc. 2006 Mercury Rising Blanc Cinnabar Vin... | | | |

| A Honey of a Second Label | | | All over the world, fancy winemakers blessed with more fruit than their limited production wines can use, or fruit that is almost but not quite up to their standards, are crafting wines under second labels. Here in the US, these second labels are often guarded as big secrets. I've had more than one person tell me who the real maker of a second labe... | | | |

| Wines for week ending 07th July | | | Geoff Merrill Reserve McLaren Vale Shiraz 2002 Bloody good. Classic Mclaren Vale Shiraz with the meaty, ripe fullness that only McLaren Vale can do. A second bottle opened was tighter still, with firmer tannins & opens up after 30 or so minutes. If it was a degree or to lighter in alc (its 15.5%) this would get full marks. 18.5/20 Scarborough Yell... | | | |

| Wine Week 83: Something we?ve never done before | | | This week we suggest a wine of a variety we haven?t covered in the entire time that WineWeek has been pouring rapid tips for you all.
