Tysk for Alto Adige , det billedskønne vinområde mellem sneklædte bjerge ved Bozen (ital: Bolzano) lige syd for Brenner (Brennero) passet mellem Østrig og Italien . Området leverer ca. 50 millioner fl/år, 70-80% rød (mest druen Schiava /Vernatch) uden den store interesse. De hvide (20-30%) hører til gengæld blandt Italiens bedste, ikke mindst druer som Pinot Grigio (Grauburgunder), Gewurztraminer (som har navn efter byen Tramin/Termeno) og andre. Området har været del af Østrig i over 1000 år, men blev italiensk efter 1. verdenskrig. Trods hård italienisereing af Mussolini og andre forblev borgerne dog tro mod deres eget sprog (afart af tysk) og har i dag udbredt selvstyre. Vinen gror på skrænter langs floden Adige, der har givet området sit italienske navn, der fortsætter sydpå til de lavere liggende vingårde i Trentino og siden Garda søen. Klimaet er mildt og tørt, selvom markerne ligger ganske højt (300-1000 meter o.h.!), og kunstvanding tolereres -hvorfor udbyttet er ganske højt (i snit tæt på 80 hl/hkt, kun en anelse mindre end i Trentino mod syd). Produktionen domineres af kooperativer, 2/3 af høsten, som forsyner de fleste af de ganske store vinhuse, som dominerer salget -næsten alt sælges i Italien, en smule i Østrig og Tyskland . DOC -Alto Adige/Südtirol sælges som regel under navnet på druen, hvor 18 forskellige bruges. Andre vine er Valdagige (som dog strækker sig helt ned til Garda søen), Kalterer See (Lago di Caldaro, tørstslukker på Vernatsch), St. Magdalener (en anelse mere seriøs), Bolzaner Leiten / Colli di Bolzano og andre. De bedste vine er hvide og sælges i reglen blot med druenavn og af og til marknavn.

Dynamisk fransk vinguide, som vurderer vine efter den kendte 100 point skala. Francois Gilbert har en fortid som professor i vindyrkning gennem 15 år, mens Philippe Gaillard kommer fra vinfamilie i Loire og siden har været direktør for større vinhus. De arbejdede for stort fransk mediehus, før de i 1991 gik solo og siden har udgivet deres guide, som både kommer på papir og web. På det seneste har de knopskudt i andre lande, bl.a. medarbejdere i Spanien , Italien , USA og Kina . Besøg deres web her!

Grøn druetype, der giver ret neutral, men frisk og syrerig hvidvin, i dag især omkring Nantes -Gros Plant de Nantes. Engang var den vidt udbredt i hele det vestlige Frankrig fra Landes og Bordeaux op til Normandiet, men det samlede areal er faldet fra 12.000 (1968) til ca. 3500 hektar . Det vides ikke om der er slægtskab til Folle Noire .

Malerisk lille by i Marne-dalen mellem Épernay og Ay , klassificeret 1. Cru . Smuk skråning, der ses bedst, når man kører ad landevejen mellem Reims og Épernay. Hovedsæde for Jacquesson og Alain Bernard.

Alsace Grand Cru repræsenterer en prestigefyldt kategori af vine fra Alsace-regionen i det nordøstlige Frankrig. Disse vine stammer fra de bedste vinmarker i Alsace, der er beliggende på de bedste skråninger langs Vogeserne.

Kun fire druesorter er tilladt i Alsace Grand Cru-vine: Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris og Muscat. Disse druesorter udtrykker sig på en unik og karakteristisk måde i Alsaces terroir.

For at bære betegnelsen Alsace Grand Cru skal vinen opfylde strenge krav til druesorter, høstmetoder, vingårdsteknikker og kvalitetskontrol. Dette sikrer, at kun de bedste vine opnår denne ærefulde status.

Hver Alsace Grand Cru-vinmark har sit eget unikke terroir, der består af forskellige jordtyper, eksponeringer og mikroklimatiske forhold. Dette resulterer i vine med forskellige stilarter og smagsprofiler, der afspejler deres oprindelse.

Alsace Grand Cru-vine er kendt for deres kompleksitet, koncentration og evne til at aldre. De har ofte dybe, komplekse aromaer og en fremragende balance mellem frugt, syre og mineralitet.

Mange Alsace Grand Cru-vine har et fremragende potentiale til aldring og kan udvikle sig positivt i flere år eller endda årtier efter høsten. Dette gør dem til eftertragtede samlerobjekter blandt vinelskere over hele verden.

Alt i alt repræsenterer Alsace Grand Cru den højeste kvalitet og reneste udtryk for Alsaces unikke terroir og håndværk. Disse vine er ægte perler i den franske vinkultur og er værdsat af dem, der søger enestående og mindeværdige vinoplevelser.

Rusland producerer mange vine, dog ingen af virkelig kvalitet. De mest ansete er i dag del af andre stater, f.eks. Krim og Moldavien. Mest kendt er nok den russiske mousserende vin, som også fås i Danmark -men som ofte er fremstillet i helt andre lande, bl.a. er den set komme fra Moldavien, Bulgarien -og solgt af firma i Letland!

Druesort fra det nordlige Rhône i Frankrig , hvor den giver karakter til bl.a. Côte Rôtie og Hermitage . Vinen herfra er ofte meget mørk, magtfuld vin med intens aroma (peber, solbær, krydderi) og lagrer fortrinligt. Karakteren udvandes dog ved for stort udbytte, men flot vin bliver lavet overalt, fra Rhône over Languedoc og Roussillon til Sydafrika , Argentina , USA og som Shiraz i bl.a. Australien , hvor druen nærmest er landets nationaldrue. Den klassiske Syrah er dog fra det nordlige Rhône, hvor vinen gror på de ofte stejle skråninger over floden Rhône -især mellem Côte Rôtie tæt på Lyon og Valence små 100 km mod syd. Da vinen kun gror tæt p åselve floden, er mængderne ganske små -ialt næppe mere end 20-25 millioner fl/år, hvor Hermitage og Côte Rôtie hver især ikke laver mere end et gennemsnitligt slot i Bordeaux .

I Rumænien har man produceret vin gennem generationer. Desværre blev det meste misligholdt i perioden fra 2. verdenskrig og frem til murens fald. Og i modsætning til f.eks. Ungarn og Bulgarien har det været småt med udenlandske investeringer efter 1990. Det går derfor langsomt frem med kvalitetsvine fra Rumænien og der er langt imellem de gode. Der dyrkes mange internationale druetyper i Rumænien, hvoraf Pinor Noir er oftest dyrket, men også Cabernet Sauvignon , Merlot og Chardonnay forefindes. De lokale druer er de grønne Fetesca og Grasa. Klassifikationen af vinene foretages lidt efter tysk model, nemlig efter druernes modenhed. VSO vine kommer fra et afgrænset område, mens VSOC vine er af højere standard. De røde vine er bløde og lidt marmeladeagtige og går godt til lidt let mad. De hvide er typisk tørre og sprøde. Firmaet Chris-Wine producerer vin i Rumænien.

Destillat af sukkerrør eller på kvaset fra sukkerrør. Laves over det meste af Verden, typisk i de tropiske egne. Mest kendt er måske rom fra Cuba, Jamaica, Barbados, Bahamas, Puerto Rico samt Trinidad og Guyana (“Demerara”), men også Madagascar, De kanariske Øer og andre steder destilleres rom. Rommens smag afhænger som Cognac af råmaterialet samt destillationsformen. Næsten al rom destilleres i såkaldt “Coffey Still” ved kontinuerlig destillation (modsat Pot Still, hvor man destillerer hver portion separat), typisk til 90% alkohol -jo højere, jo lettere spiritus. Råmaterialet kan være rørsukker -en lettere finere rom- eller kvaset (resterne efter at sukkeret er fjernet), der giver en meget kraftig rom -et typisk eksempel er gammel Jamaica. Det varme klima betyder, at rom udvikler sig meget hurtigt og ikke behøver så lang lagring . Det meste rom er hvid, der som regel lagrer på tank, mens mørk rom ofte lagrer i eg , typisk et år eller to. Farven kan passende -som også smagen- justeres med sukkerkulør… Añejo (“årgammel”) betegner en lagret rom, som dog ofte er mere end et år gammel! Hvornår man begyndte at destillere rom, vides ikke. Mange nævner 1651 som startåret, hvor et dokument lyder: ” “The chief fuddling they make in the island is Rumbullion, alias Kill-Divil, and this is made of sugar canes distilled, a hot, hellish, and terrible liquor.” Men i lasten på det svenske skib Vasa, der sank 1628 (men siden 1961 er set af millioneer på museet i Stockholm) er fndet tinflaske med væske, som er identificeret som rom. Mount Gay destilleriet på Barbados har lavet rom siden 1703. Det ejes i dag af Rémy-Cointreau og nyder fint ry for sin “Extra Old”, selvom den unge Eclipse er mest kendt.

Pinot Blanc (kendt som Pinot Bianco i Italien) giver lyse, friske og tørre vine med grønne æbler, citusfrugter og blomster samt til tider mandler og lidt krydderier. Vinen vinifieres typisk i stål og bør drikkes inden for 2-3 år. Druen giver medium til fyldige vine og dyrkes specielt, men ikke kun, i Nordeuropa og Norditalien og anvendes ofte som blandingsdrue, som f.eks. i Cremant d’Alsace..

Tysk for tør. I følge tysk vinlov må der angives fire grader af tørhed/ sødme på flasken; trocken, halbtrocken, lieblich og süss.

Spansk for sort. F.eks. Pinot Negro et navn til franske Pinot Noir.

Vigtigt italiensk vinområde i provinsen Veneto , mellem Verona og Gardasøen. Rødvine er generelt lette med meget rig frugt. I dag bruges en stadig større del af druerne til de stærke rødvine som Amarone DOC og ” Ripasso “, hvor vinen får andengæring med kvaset fra årets Amarone druer. ” Recioto ” er en sød rød dessertvin groft sagt lavet af samme druer som Amarone -dvs. udvalgte druer, som har gæret flere måneder i godt ventilerede rum, og som ikke er gæret tør. 
Her har været dyrket vin siden Romertiden, som det fremgår af navnet, Val (dal) – Poly (mange) -Cella (Cellar, kælder ) -“Dalen med de mange vinkældre”. Valpolicella Classico ligger i den centrale del af området. Rosé tillades men ses sjældent. Hvid må ikke bære navnet Valpolicella. Området ligger i lave bjerge ved foden af Alperne og er meget smukt.

2014: Rain caused significant damage in the first half of the year, then a cool August didn’t help matters. Yields will be low, quality is not remarkable, and vintage declarations are most unlikely. 2013: Unusually cool conditions in April and May and a tinder dry summer slowed grape development resulting in a low-yielding, tardy harvest of generally high quality. 2012 : The Douro saw drought and hail conspire to reduce yields significantly, by as much as 40% in places. The resultant small berries have made wines of high colour and notable acidity. 2011: The rain of 2010 was crucial in this much drier year, to sustain the vines through a hot summer. There was, finally, much needed precipitation in late August and September with dry, warm conditions thereafter which were perfect for picking. Looks to be a great quality vintage. 2010: An exceptionally wet winter brought challenging erosion to the Douro, but welcome restoration of ground water. A very hot July then retarded ripening (because the vines shut down in the excessive temperatures) but the weather was more agreeable later in the season with good conditions for harvest and increased yields compared to 2008 and 2009. 2009: An exceptionally hot summer led to an early vintage with great potential for Port , but extremely high alcohols in the unfortified wines, with some unripe tannins and shrivelled berries. Higher altitude sites will be crucial to making these wines work. A declared vintage. 2008: A dry but, like 2007, cool year. Some growers picked early for fear of rain, but those that risked it were rewarded with ideal ripening conditions late in the season. Not universally declared, although Quinta do Noval have. 2007: A vintage year, and one that has produced exceptionally approachable Ports at a young age. The growing season was fairly cool for the Douro, leading to later than usual harvest and none of the grape desiccation that can confer raisined character. 2006: A wet year with rain inconveniently timed in September. But some grapes were also shrivelled by extreme heat. Far from a textbook year. 2005: An exceptionally dry growing season in which only old vines triumphed. Very early harvest produced unusual musts – the Douro’s answer to 2003? 2004: The usual hot summer, then rain in early September but late September saw sugar levels zoom up. There will be some fine vintage and single quinta ports. 2003: Some great vintage ports, not harmed by the hot summer and helped by newfound alternative techniques to foot treading. 2002: The usual very dry summer was followed by an unusually wet September which compromised both the health and ripeness of those grapes that were picked. A most unusual harvest and extremely unlikely to produce vintage port. 2001: Some very good vintage port. Exceptionally wet winter – an unprecedented five months of rain – was followed by early budburst slowed by a cool spring. The crop was reduced by a heatwave in June but conditions were favourable throughout the rest of the summer. Useful quantity with good not great quality. 2000: Mild and exceptionally dry winter was followed by a wet spring which delayed the growth cycle. An unusually hot September gave the grapes a late boost just before harvest in benign conditions. The result of this, together with the introduction of new, mechanised alternatives to foot-treading in some houses, is a range of particularly luscious, ripe vintage ports. 1999: At the end of August growers were looking forward to a distinct improvement on 1998 but hopes were washed away by continuous rain in September, although the thick-skinned port grapes suffered much less than table wine grapes elsewhere in Portugal. 1998: Not t a year for vintage port. Små mændeer god vin, men ellers hurtigt glemt. 1997: Some fine vintage ports. Early flowering was followed by a fairly cool, wet summer so the ports are more structured than the 1994s. 1996: Not a year for vintage port but some fine single quinta wines were made. 1995: Some real potential for vintage and colheita port. 1994: Potentially exceptional year for vintage port. Very rich but not overripe wines. 1992: Taylor and Fonseca chose to declare this instead of 1991. 1991: Great potential, very rich with considerable structure. A long-term vintage and good colheitas. 1985: A flattering year: luscious and fragrant for mid-term drinking. 1983: A shade behind 1985. Good, sometimes exceptional. Widely declared and maturing relatively fast. 1982: Declared by only a few houses, these are supple and for early drinking. 1980: A medium weight year. Reliable without hitting the heights 1977: Initially destined to be legendary, these have great weight, backbone and and power but the vintage has proved much less consistent than expected. 1975: Widely declared and inexpensive but whilst pleasant, hardly vintage material. 1970: Superb, big, full and deep. Should last very many years. 1966: Rich, fragrant and lovely now. 1963: A benchmark year, sensational from many houses and only very, very slowly commencing their decline. 2014: Rain caused significant damage in the first half of the year, then a cool August didn’t help matters. Yields will be low, quality is not remarkable, and vintage declarations are most unlikely. 2013: Unusually cool conditions in April and May and a tinder dry summer slowed grape development resulting in a low-yielding, tardy harvest of generally high quality. 2012 : The Douro saw drought and hail conspire to reduce yields significantly, by as much as 40% in places. The resultant small berries have made wines of high colour and notable acidity. 2011: The rain of 2010 was crucial in this much drier year, to sustain the vines through a hot summer. There was, finally, much needed precipitation in late August and September with dry, warm conditions thereafter which were perfect for picking. Looks to be a great quality vintage. 2010: An exceptionally wet winter brought challenging erosion to the Douro, but welcome restoration of ground water. A very hot July then retarded ripening (because the vines shut down in the excessive temperatures) but the weather was more agreeable later in the season with good conditions for harvest and increased yields compared to 2008 and 2009. 2009: An exceptionally hot summer led to an early vintage with great potential for Port, but extremely high alcohols in the unfortified wines, with some unripe tannins and shrivelled berries. Higher altitude sites will be crucial to making these wines work. A declared vintage. 2008: A dry but, like 2007, cool year. Some growers picked early for fear of rain, but those that risked it were rewarded with ideal ripening conditions late in the season. Not universally declared, although Quinta do Noval have. 2007: A vintage year, and one that has produced exceptionally approachable Ports at a young age. The growing season was fairly cool for the Douro, leading to later than usual harvest and none of the grape desiccation that can confer raisined character. 2006: A wet year with rain inconveniently timed in September. But some grapes were also shrivelled by extreme heat. Far from a textbook year. 2005: An exceptionally dry growing season in which only old vines triumphed. Very early harvest produced unusual musts – the Douro’s answer to 2003? 2004: The usual hot summer, then rain in early September but late September saw sugar levels zoom up. There will be some fine vintage and single quinta ports. 2003: Some great vintage ports, not harmed by the hot summer and helped by newfound alternative techniques to foot treading. 2002: The usual very dry summer was followed by an unusually wet September which compromised both the health and ripeness of those grapes that were picked. A most unusual harvest and extremely unlikely to produce vintage port. 2001: Some very good vintage port. Exceptionally wet winter – an unprecedented five months of rain – was followed by early budburst slowed by a cool spring. The crop was reduced by a heatwave in June but conditions were favourable throughout the rest of the summer.

Airén er en hvid druesort, der primært dyrkes i Spanien. Den er en af de mest dyrkede druesorter i verden og anses for at være en af de ældste og mest udbredte druesorter i Spanien.

Airén-druen trives godt i det tørre og varme klima, der findes i mange spanske vinregioner, og den er kendt for sin høje udbytte og modstandsdygtighed over for sygdomme og skadedyr. Det gør den til et populært valg blandt vinproducenter, der ønsker at producere store mængder vin til både bulkvinproduktion og destillation til brandy.

Vine lavet på Airén-druen har tendens til at være lette, friske og frugtagtige med en neutral karakter. De er ofte anvendt til at lave ungdommelige og letdrikkelige hvidvine, der er velegnede til at blive nydt kølige som en forfriskende drik. Airén-druen bruges også til at lave en række andre vine, herunder mousserende vine og brandy.

Selvom Airén-druen ikke har den samme prestige som nogle andre hvide druesorter, spiller den stadig en vigtig rolle i spansk vinproduktion, især når det kommer til masseproduktion af hvidvin og brandy.

Bourgogne strækker sig fra Chablis i nord til Mâcon i syd, men hjertet af Bourgogne er den berømte skråning Côte d’Or – ”den gyldne skråning” – der er delt i to med Côte de Nuits i nord og Côte de Beaune i syd. Det er herfra, at de største vine kommer.

Côte de Nuits er hovedsageligt Pinot Noir territorie, og det er her, at vi finder de største og verdenskendte Bourgognevine lavet på Pinot Noir. I Côte de Nuits lægges der vægt på kvalitet fremfor kvantitet, og området er hjemsted for den største andel af Bourgognes Grand Cru-appellationer. De store vine kendetegnes ved deres finesse og elegance kombineret med styrke og store smagsoplevelser.

Côte de Beaune er specielt kendt for de store Chardonnayvine til trods for, at der også laves fremragende vine på Pinot Noir.

Hele området blev i 2015 klassificeret UNESCO verdensarv.

Fransk vinområde langs floden Rhône mellem Lyon i nord og Avignon i syd. Omfatter bl.a. Côte Rôtie i nord og Châteauneuf-du-Pape og Gigondas i syd. Vinareal på omkring 70.000-80.000 hkt, som årligt leverer 300-400 millioner flasker. Den overvejende del ligger i den sydlige del mellem Nîmes, Avignon, Carpentras og Orange. 95 % er rød eller rosé af druer som Grenache, Syrah og Cinsault, som i reglen har høj alkohol og en blød, krydret smag. De kan nydes efter et år eller to, men mange kan også gemmes, omend få vil have gavn af mere end 6-7 år. Côtes du Rhône er AOP for det meste af området, ialt knap 40.000 hkt vin, især Grenache, med godt 200 millioner fl/år. Se sortimentet fra Rhône.
