大家可有想過原來在比較冷的產區，釀酒師會適量地加入未發酵的葡萄汁(Rectified Concentrated Grape Must) 來彌補葡萄因為氣溫太低而未能完全熟成。

葡萄汁需要在發酵過程消耗糖分來轉換成為酒精。如糖分不足，會直接影響了酒精的生成，讓葡萄酒無法達到一定程度的平衡，因為太高的酸度會使酒的味道變得太尖銳，缺乏層次和單調。

Hello ! Do you know in cooler climates, winemakers might add “sugar” before, during or after the fermentation? I know what you are thinking- “sugar” ???

No worries, this sugar is Rectified Concentrated Grape Must which normally extract from the same grape variety. Wine needs sugar to increase the level of alcohol, cooler climates might struggle of grape ripening. Adding RCGM will help the final wine to contain more sugar available for yeast to turn to alcohol and carry out the enrichment.

Tipzzy Tipz : 在品嘗葡萄酒的時候，請記得手持杯腳。因為每款酒都有最佳的品嘗溫度（白酒8˚C < 12˚C； 紅酒 12˚C < 18˚C），手持酒杯肚會使酒體溫度上升，影響酒體風味！

When enjoying a glass of wine, remember to hold the stem of the glass. Each wine has its best serving temperature (white wine 8˚C < 12˚C; red wine 12˚C < 18˚C), holding the bowl will increase the temperature and affect the flavour of it !

Xarel lo (沙雷洛) 是西班牙的原生葡萄品種，也是西班牙氣泡酒Cava的靈魂骨幹，帶有柑桔、花香、茴香和礦物香氣。負責支撐和平衡酸度並為Cava提供了超卓的陳釀能力，其高酸高甜度的特質更吸引了不少酒廠以100% Xarel-lo 釀造出優異的陳年白酒。

因兼具高酸度和充沛花香同果香味，Xarel lo在搭配食物方面甚為廣泛。由清新怡人的沙律、涼菜、海鮮到雞肉或鴨肉都是十分出色，非常適宜作為日常餐飲配搭必備的的看門葡萄酒！

Xarel lo is a white grape variety of Spanish origin specially grown in Catalonia. It is also the backbone of Spanish sparkling wine (Cava) and often blends with other grape varieties. The aromas are of citrus, floral, fennel and mineral, with high acidity and sugar while it is ripened, it provides a great ageing potential to Cava and has attracted many wineries to produce high quality with ageing potential white wine with 100% Xarel-lo.

Due to its high acidity, rich floral and fruity aromas, Xarel lo is very versatile in food pairings. From refreshing salads, cold dishes, seafood, to chicken or duck, they are all excellent and it is perfect as a must-have house wine for your daily drinking.

Tipzzy Tipz : 近年來陳年氣泡酒已被視為一種頂級葡萄酒，品飲者開始從不同角度去鑑賞氣泡酒，使得氣泡酒不再只限制於氣泡、餐前酒、或也不再純粹用於派對歡慶。為了體驗和享受其中複雜細膩的香氣跟滋味，在飲用有年份的氣泡酒時我們會建議大家嘗試用寬口及鬱金香型的杯款，寬廣圓潤的杯身有助呈現果香、和瓶中發酵所產生獨特香氣（蜂蜜、酵母、果仁等），可以的話你同時使用傳統笛型杯和寬口的鬱金香型杯款一同比較，細嚐當中不同之處。

Nowadays, vintage sparkling wine has been regarded as premier wine, drinkers have begun to appreciate sparkling wine from different angles, and thus, sparkling wine is no longer only about bubbles, aperitif, or purely used for party and celebration.

In order to experience and enjoy the complex and delicate aroma and palate, when drinking vintage sparkling wine, we will recommend you to use wide-mouthed and tulip-shaped glasses. It helps to echo the unique bottle ageing aromas (e.g. honey, yeast, nuts, etc.).

If you can, use both traditional flute cups and wide-mouthed tulip cups to compare and taste the difference. Stay Tipzzy & enjoy the fun !

大家有否想過為什麼大部分法國名貴酒莊都把葡萄種植在面向南方的斜坡上？原來面向南的斜坡可讓葡萄充分接觸陽光，而陽光在葡萄開花和結果的階段都扮演了很重要的角色，會直接影響到葡萄收成。另外，把葡萄種植在斜坡上更可避免春天的霜凍，令葡萄得而健康發芽！


Have you ever wondered why most of the famous French vineyards plant their grapes on slopes facing south ? It allows the grapes to get full exposure to sunlight, and sunlight is needed for successful flowering and fruit set during the grape growing process, which will directly affect the grape harvest. Meanwhile, planting the grapes on slopes can avoid spring frosts and it is very critical for budburst that occurs in the spring.

🍷

獨自品嘗美酒佳餚故然有份自我療癒的喜悅，但當你嘗試把這份喜悅和朋友分享時，你慢慢會發覺美酒佳餚會透過朋輩之間的交流把你的愉悅感放大，亦不難發現就算品飲同一瓶葡萄酒，大家味蕾和嗅覺都存在著不同層次的記憶。就如喝一瓶陳年氣泡酒為例，有些人會對瓶中發酵而成的蜂蜜味有比較強烈的感覺，有些人則對發酵過程中因接觸酵母而產生的餅乾味比較敏銳，有時候你更可以舉辦不同的品酒主題（例如和朋友一起品飲同一酒廠但不同年分的佳釀），好讓你分別氣候如何影響到釀製過程和酒體風格。

在下次朋友聚會時，你會想舉辦什麼主題的盲飲派對呢？不坊留言與我們一同分享！


Drinking alone could be a joy of me-time healing while drinking with friends you will gradually find that it magnifies your sense of pleasure through communicating with others. The joys are coming from the sensitivities level of senses, even when you are drinking the same bottle of vintage sparkling wine, some people will easily identify the honey flavor that’s coming from wine aging in bottle ; while some people are more sensitive with the biscuit flavor caused by yeast contact during the fermentation process.

Chardonnay (夏多內) - 是目前全世界種植最廣泛的白釀酒葡萄，由於被廣泛種植所以可以釀製成的酒體風格亦相比其他品種較多。由清澈明亮的白中白氣泡酒到綿密豐腴的木桶陳年白酒皆可釀製而成。

由於生命力和適應力強，Chardonnay 在冷涼、溫和到炎熱的地區都能發展出不同的風格。在氣溫偏低的產區，Chardonnay的風味會越偏向綠色水果，像是青檸檬、青蘋果、榅悖；越接近溫暖的氣候，風味會越偏向熱帶水果，像是楊桃、黃蘋果甚至是鳳梨。

無論是陳年或較年輕的 Chardonnay 都無需醒酒， 只需確保侍酒的溫度於7-13 度之間，以品嚐出其品種的風格和釀酒師如何以最廣泛種植的白葡萄釀製出與眾不同的白酒 !

Chardonnay is the most widely planted white grape variety and with this in mind, it is made in a wide range of styles from lithe & austere to creamy & rich white wine aged in oak.

In cool climates, Chardonnay will have noticeable acidity and flavors of green plum, apple, and pear when it is closer to a warmer location the flavors become more citrus, peach, and melon, while in very warm locations it can develop the sense of fig & tropical fruit notes such as banana and mango.

Serving tips: you don’t need to decant it and please keep the serving tempter at 7-13℃ to enjoy the uniqueness & craftsmanship winemakers have put in the bottle !

大家可能會懷疑在機械這麼方便的世代, 為什麼有一些酒廠還堅持使用成本較高的人手採摘來收割葡萄? 主要的原因是要確保釀葡萄酒的品質。使用人手採摘時，農物會只會篩選已符合熟成條件的葡萄，有部分葡萄因為環境的影響，未必能在預定的收割時間熟成而未能發展出充沛的果香，人手採摘就可以避免未成熟的葡萄混進釀製同發酵的過程，從而影響了葡萄的風味。

由於人手採摘可以有效保留葡萄的原風味，大家不難發現很多出色的葡萄酒都會採用此方式進行收割，有些產區(例如: Champagne, Beaujolais, Rioja, Rive,等) 更禁止使用機械收割以釀造出高品質的葡萄酒!

Tipzzy Tips about Hand Harvesting!

Hand-picking is preferred for wine grapes / small vineyards that want to fully extract & keep the fruitiness during the wine making progress. Why ?

The farmer will only pick grapes that’s healthy enough and allows individual bunch selection based on ripeness so the fruit selection can be more concentrated. Since fruitiness is one of key parts to identify if the wine is worth to develop / to be aged, it won’t be hard to find out that mechanical harvesting are banned at some of the top wine regions like Champagne, Beaujolais, Rioja, Rive, etc. to produce high quality wine !

葡萄是葡萄酒的靈魂人物，各個不同的品種已先為每一瓶酒定立了主要風格和特色。往後我們會一一為大家介紹不同的葡萄品種，就讓我們以全球最受歡迎的品種 Cabernet Sauvignon (卡本內蘇維濃）來為揭開序幕!

卡本內蘇維濃源自波爾多，是Cabernet Franc 和 Sauvignon Blanc 自然同種交配而來，風味集中濃郁，單寧含量高，適合久存！

酒體風味特色：黑櫻桃，黑加侖子，黑莓，雪松木和烘乾香料等

最著名當然是來自波爾多產區的混調紅酒，由於單寧較高適合配以濃郁的紅肉飲用，而且需要大約60分鐘以上的醒酒時間，才可讓酒中的風味盡現。

We can’t make wine without grapes ! It is the most important ingredient that set the style and character of wine ! Moving forwards, we will be sharing some basic information about grape varieties with our , hope this will be helpful for you guys to discover your beloved bottles !

Let’s start with the world’s most popular grape - Cabernet Sauvignon ! It’s a natural cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It’s originated in Bordeaux and worth for ageing due to the high tannin and rich of flavour !

Flavours and Aromas : Black Fruit ,Black Currant, Blackberry, Cedar Wood, Spices, Herbaceous

It is famous in Bordeaux with blending with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Carmenere, etc. With high tannin in character it goes so well with rich grilled red meats and dishes with high flavour, remember to reserve enough time for it to decant before drink ( at least 60 mins ) - it helps to soften the tannin and better express the aromas and flavour !

葡萄是釀製葡萄酒的主要成份，你可曾想過原來由果皮到果肉都是釀酒的珍貴成份而且缺一不可！

果皮蘊含葡萄的風格、顏色、單寧和其品種的獨特果香，在釀酒的時候釀酒師都會盡力保留其原始風味,確保可在之後的發酵過程中為酒體增添架構；果肉則提供了水份、甜味和酸度為酵母準備充足的養份，在發酵的過程裡轉化成為酒精。

另外，圖中灰灰一層充滿光澤的表面，其實蘊含了豐富的天然酵母，有些專門釀製細緻柔和風格的酒廠更會連葡萄梗一起整串發酵來增添單寧和架構！

Fun fact about wine grapes : every part of it plays a very big role on wine making process. From skins, seeds, stems to pulp they all provide everything that set its style & character.

Skin - contain high concentration of flavour compounds, color and tannins which give each grape its signature varietal character

Seed and steam - contain tannins , yes, it’s tannins again ! It’s good for anti-ageing ( so drink more ). Some of the winery will also use the entire grape (includes steam)to produce delicate wines !

Pulp - contain water , acids and sugar ! It provides all of the nutrients for the yeast to make alcohol during the fermentation process !

And the waxy surface that you see in this photo is the bloom that contains yeast and can be used to ferment the wine !

Tipzzy Tips : 葡萄酒裡面蘊含超過一百種香氣，大家可試著由初級香氣到第三級香氣慢慢找尋同發掘各種味道！氣味無分對錯，不坊輕搖酒杯慢慢細聞同品嘗！

大家知道原來一瓶酒最適合的侍酒量不能超過1/3 杯嗎？如果杯子不同那怎麼分辨呢？

在倒酒的時候可以以不超過杯腹（杯最寛的位置）為指標，這樣可以讓葡萄酒與空氣的接觸面放大，在品飲的時候更容易甦醒和展現出風味。

Tipzzy Tips : To fully enjoy the flavour & aroma of wine, you have to serve it with the right amount !

How ? Try not to pour over the largest surface of the wine glass ( normally not more than 1/3 )

It’s like a larger blow which allows the wine to breathe and fully express their personality, flavour & aromatic character.

With the right glasses you definitely will see the difference! Looking for a shopping guide for wine glasses ? We have one for you, follow to find out more !

為何西班牙氣泡酒 CAVA 可以以超過2億瓶的年出口量俘虜全球葡萄酒愛好者? 除了釀酒師的傳統釀酒工藝之外，當然不能不提西班牙獨有的葡萄品種-Xarel·lo ！Xarel·lo 是極具潛力的葡萄品種，帶有甘醇異國茴香氣味，採收時能保存酸度和礦石風味，而且獨有極高數值的白梨蘆醇 （天然抗氧化劑），甚至比有些帶單寧的紅葡萄酒更出色，這也為 CAVA 提供了先天的陳年優勢。
