New term for Friulano – JAKOT

13 Jun

New Term for Friulano grape- JAKOT
Italian and Slovenian wine authorities in the Collio wine region have come up with a new name for wines made from the Friulano grape (Formerly Tokaj Friulano) – Jakot .
Collio -is now the official home of Jakot

. The spelling (Tokaj written backwards)– avoids conflict with the protected name of the Hungarian wine.
Some producers in Italy and Slovenia have been using that name unofficially, but it is now official, according to the Brda Wine Consortium in Slovenia.

Hungary does not want anyone confusing its Tokaj with the dry and aromatic Sauvignonasse or Sauvignon Vert grape (also known in Italy as Friulano) grown in both Slovenia and Italy but traditionally also called Tokaj .
The consortium had considered other options, including ‘Sauvignonasse’ or ‘Green Sauvignon, but that was a no-go for consumers because of a negative connotation of unripe wine.

France gets first premium quality wine in CANS

13 Jun

A French company, Winestar, has launched wine in cans with the aim of making good quality wine more accessible to the young, who they say have moved away from taking wines on picnics and have turned to beer, coke and spirits instead.  Cedric Segal, a co-founder of the company, explained they want wine to be become like beers or soft drinks as they aim “to become the Nespresso of wine and popularise it”.

Winestar is a range of premium French wines, from famous wine regions, and enables you to drink differently. A glass of ros£ for an aperitif ? A mineral white wine to go with a fish, or a more floral one to accompany a Mediterrannean dish ? How about a well balanced oak-aged red wine with a red meat or a cheese ?

Everyone is now free to drink the wine they really want, one can at a time. One can equals to a glass, which enables one to really drink responsibly. The 187 ml can is ideal for snacking, take-away restaurants, outdoor and trekking, but also at home to enjoy with a nice meal, or minibars in luxury hotels.

Compact, unbreakable and light, it is also a perfect choice for transportation like trains or plane catering, yachting.

In the past some poor quality wines have been sold in cans but Cedric Segal believes there will be 1.3 million Euros a year of business – with their new format.  The Winestar cans will soon be available in Carrefour City stores.  Currently in Germany 60 million cans a year are sold.

Ball Packaging Europe have developed the cans which exclude all light and air and prevent the wine from oxidising.
