《品醇客》世界葡萄酒大奖赛(Decanter World Wine Awards)在英国伦敦东端的烟草码头(Tobacco Dock)举办,这在某种程度上很适合。我担任《品醇客》世界葡萄酒大奖赛加拿大赛区的主席已有多年,目睹了它在烟草码头的举办规模超过了其首办地的规模。

“酒中之王,王中之酒”是人们对意大利巴罗洛葡萄酒的称呼。巴罗洛(Barolo)是意大利西北部地区皮埃蒙特(Piedmont)的一个朴素的小村庄,拥有750人口和一个村庄自有的城堡。作为一个葡萄酒产区,巴罗洛却拥有超过4500公顷富含石灰质粘土的葡萄园,是邻近的巴巴莱斯科(Barbaresco)产区面积的三倍。这两个产区的葡萄酒都使用同一种葡萄——内比奥罗(Nebbiolo)酿造。由于巴巴莱斯科葡萄酒的风格比巴罗洛更轻盈,因此它被称为是“酒中皇后”。

Both Testaments of the Bible are replete with references to wine, references that are at one and the same time literal, symbolic and metaphorical. The proliferation of these references speaks to the importance of the fermented grape in the daily lives of Israelites and the newly-converted Christians of the New Testament. From Noah planting the first vineyard after the Flood to the Wedding at Cana, when Jesus turns water into wine, the presence of wine in daily life is celebrated and, when taken to excess, deprecated.
