Cold April nights with frost caused great havoc in the vineyards
» ‎ BKWine Magazine

Tags: [edit]
Wine producers in France and other parts of Europe were hit hard by several cold nights in April with temperatures far below zero. The warm temperatures earlier this spring had led to early budding in many places, and when the frost hit (unusually severe frost), the devastation was significant, despite the measures taken. The financial […]

Mandrarossa by Cantine Settesoli, a successful wine co-operative on Sicily
» ‎ BKWine Magazine

Tags: [edit]
Settesoli means “seven suns”. And for seven years, the growers of the newly formed Sicilian cooperative Settesoli waited patiently before making their first wine. They had started planting the vines in 1958 on land where wheat, lemons and cotton had previously been grown. They were a group of 68 growers in Menfi, in southwestern Sicily, […]

Chapoutier, a (bio)dynamic wine producer
» ‎ BKWine Magazine

Tags: [edit]
The house M. Chapoutier was founded in the 19th century and has always been respected for its good quality. But the real leap from good quality to exceptional was taken when the dynamic Michel took over the lead in 1990. He initiated a series of changes that have made Chapoutier one of France’s most famous […]

Tags: [edit]
The spotlight is on Etna at the moment. Making wine on an active volcano must be special and, at times, even adventurous. Lava came pouring out of Etna earlier this year. Donnafugata, a well-known Sicilian wine producer, started making wine here in 2016. They discovered an incredible variety of soils, microclimates and growing conditions. Etna […]

During the webinar “Vinosphere Burgundy” at the end of February, researchers discussed various possibilities to tackle climate change.

Before changing grapes, there are various ways to make pinot and chardonnay […]

Can essential oil from orange peel protect the vineyard?
» ‎ BKWine Magazine

Essential oil from orange peel has a drying effect on the vine, it is desiccating. Therefore, many organic wine producers use this product to complement sulphur and copper in the fight against mildiou and oidium that thrive in humidity. Today, 3% of France’s wine-growing area is protected by orange essential oil and a significant increase […]

No wine without yeast, but which type of yeast is the best? | Britt on Forbes
» ‎ BKWine Magazine

Tags: [edit]
Making wine is pretty straightforward. Or rather, it was, once upon a time. Today it is more complicated. The fermentation, not least, requires the winegrowers to think carefully. They know that yeast turns the sugar in the grapes into alcohol, that stays in the wine, and to carbon dioxide that dissipates. They also know that […]
