			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The start of the Australian wine is in South Africa, because in 1788 the first vines were taken by Arthur Phillip, the first governor of Australia. The first attempt was stranded because the soil was rich in nutrients and humid climate. Later, at Sydney, they had more success. At the request of the governor Britain expelled some French prisoners to help, but they knew nothing about wine&#8230; It later came off the ground in South Australia with pioneers like James Busby, George Wyndham and German immigrants in Barossa Valley.</p>
<p>The British government was happy that more wine was produced. Wine contains less alcohol and had to serve as an alternative. The slightly sweet wines were also mainly for export to England. While the wine taste of the rest of the world changed, Australia remained committed to its tradition. The Australians took their own self-called fine wine. In the seventies shifted production to worldwide still more esteemed dry wines. The Australian Government made an oar in the top varieties to encourage planting.</p>
<p>Although Australia was initially behind in the producting wine it is now provided that other countries ask Australian wine makers for advice. They fly around the world to explain the latest techniques, such as fermentation at lower temperatures and aged in oak barrels. Furthermore, techniques were developed that also allow warmer regions fresh and fruity wines.<span id="more-11"></span></p>
<p>Penfolds is the ultimate example of the Australian approach to the taste of the wine first. The company is part of the listed South Corp Wines. About 150 years ago was founded by Englishman Christopher Rawson Penfolds. The many vineyards are now scattered across South Australia and beyond. It has achieved consistent quality every time by selecting the best grapes, whatever region they are grown. The wines have a rich flavor.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Drinking a glass of wine is one of the pleasant things in life and it has become increasingly familiar. Yet many feel the area of ??wine is always a bit insecure. Unsure what to choose, you uncertain whether the wine would give a proper treatment, and especially uncertain in combining with snacks and meals. Wine is not really &#8220;difficult&#8221;. Common sense, good taste and a bit of what knowledge is all that is needed.</p>
<p><strong>What is wine?</strong><br />
It is basically fermented juice of freshly picked grapes. All drinks, from other fruits may not be called &#8220;wine&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>Red, White, Pink</strong><br />
<em>Red wine</em> &#8211; made ??from red grapes: the skin is the pigment that makes red wine. The grapes are crushed, they have the entire mass of skins and juice together yeast and middle or at the end of fermentation time, this mass pressed. The fermentation process, the dye from the skins and certain flavors in the juice come.</p>
<p><em>White wine</em> &#8211; can be prepared from both blue and white grapes &#8211; all grape juice is white. For white wines, the grapes are pressed as soon as possible after picking and allowed to ferment white juice without the skins. The golden champagne for example is partly blue and partly made ??of white grapes.</p>
<p><em>Rose</em> &#8211; made ??from red grapes, thereby obtaining the peel only very short, often only one night, let it ferment the juice. The fermenting, pink colored juice is allowed to drain on clean barrels. The yeast then continue, without peeling. For sweet pink is the same as for white wines, dry rose is preferable.</p>
<p><strong>Store: cool, dark and quiet</strong><br />
Wine likes three things: cool, dark and quiet. Try to find a spot. Maybe in a large closet, perhaps in a shed in the basement, perhaps in a closet or under a staircase in the hall, maybe a hobby room where not too hot.<br />
Wine should always be stored horizontally, because the cork should remain moist, so the neck remains sealed.</p>
<p>The temperature in your wine storage must stay underd 16 to 18 degrees. White and rosé wines are more sensitive in temperature and white wines are particularly light. If you want to keep white wines, you should really keep it in a cool, dark corner (possibly in the box), where it was not warmer than 12 to 14 degrees. Sherry and port are fortified wines, to which additional alcohol has been added, making them much stronger than regular wine, in different senses: more alcohol, but also stronger constitution. Usually they are closed with a screw cap. They can therefore keep standing.<span id="more-5"></span></p>
<p><strong>Combine: matter of good taste</strong><br />
Combining wine with meals or snacks, is nothing but a matter of good taste. There are certain rules which constitute a good grip of uncertainty, but they have to be especially regarded as immutable laws.</p>
<p><em>The rule says:</em></p>
<ul>
<li>dry (not sweet) white wines with appetizers and fish, possibly also with white meats like pork, chicken and veal.</li>
<li>Light red wines with white meats like chicken and veal;</li>
<li>fuller red wines with red meats. Whoever does this does it correctly.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Enjoy your wine</strong><br />
Enjoy festive color, its fragrant smell, its delicate flavor, the pleasant, warm feeling that he gives. Would you follow the advice, fine, but also follow your own particular tastes. Because that is the most important. I wish you fun with wine. Cheers!</p>
