Lagers

Lagering, as a process, was discovered around 200
years ago in Bavaria.  Here, it was found that
beers experiencing secondary fermentation in casks
stored in the caves of the Alps would produce beers
with differnet characteristics than ales.

The process of lagering became very popular in
areas where fermentating with cool temperatures
could be maintained, although it wasn’t until the
invention of the refrigerator that lagers really
spread around the world.

Over the last several years, flat sales have been
seen for breweries as a growth in sales for
American microbrews.  Even though a lot of the
beer volume from lager is composed of cheap quality
product from the large breweries, there’s plenty
of great products available, although most are
from Europe.

European all malt Pilsener
World wild, Pilseners are the most popular style.
The style originated in Bohemia in a town that
was named Pilsen by the brewery.  Even though
there are some superb Pilseners made outside this
region, the style is frequently cheapened and
is also the basis for many beers lacking quality
or being just plain ol’ cheap beer.

German Pilsener
Classic German Pilseners are very light in color
and well hopped, with the hop bitterness being
high.  It’s a well attenuated, medium bodied beer
although a malty accent can be perceived.  There
shouldn’t be any chill haze, as the head of the
beer should be dense and rich.

Bohemian lager
Lagers in this category are very similar to German
Pilseners, although they are more full bodied
and can be as dark as light amber.  This style of
beer will balance the moderate bitterness and
noble hop aroma with a malty, yet slightly sweet
body.

Ask help from acquaintances who are familiar with the beverage for the brand and taste. Good quality wines are Merlots, Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Zinfrandel. Consider Merlot because of its distinct taste and the mixture of berries and herbs as well as Zinfrandel which is perfect with pasta and pizza. [On the other hand, Pinot Noir is a red wine grape with a flavor of cherry, plums and tea leaves. White wine options are Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling. Chardonnays are popular because of their acidic taste with a touch of apples, pears and a little citrus, butter or melon.

This is an ideal way to give wine as a gift if you are unsure about the tastes of the person receiving the gift or if he prefers red or white wines or the rare ones that can be availed online. 

Wine Consumption Grows In US, Russia And China

The production and consumption figures recently released by the UK’s International Wine and Spirit Research body make for interesting reading as a picture of the 2010 wine market. But the IWSR also predicts a very different wine industry emerging over the next half decade.

Cabernet Sauvignon Wine was the drink of choice in the French halls of Wine pressing power as it was revealed that France was once again the king of wine production in 2010. 2009 figures had shocked the French industry when it was revealed that Italian wine production was somehow more prolific. In 2010, France produced 419 million cases of wine of all varities, and regardless of destination. Italy take second place and Spain remain third, reflecting the tradition status quo. These three nations are likely to be similarly in demand until well into the next decade. However, in the long term they are likely to be challenged by pushes from Argentina, Chile, China and South Africa

The total 2010 output of wine, 36 billion bottles. You won’t necessarily find the big producers among the biggest consumers of wine. The world’s largest wine importer is still the United Kingdom. It is technically a wine producing region, but the industry has yet to catch on. The UK consumer isn’t typically a connoisseurship, and the majority of sales are of cheap white rather than premium reds like Tempranillo wine. France remains the world wine capital in that it consumes the largest amount of ‘higher priced wines’ (those valued at 6.15 GBP and above). The UK is however, second.

But the true upheaval in the wine world is happening outside of Europe. Russians are one such emerging consumer market: with 5.5 million more cases being consumed by 2014. However, the largest growth is likely to happen in the Chinese and US markets. China will likely be demanding 20 million more cases, the US 27 million. There is also increasing demand for more expensive White and Red Wine brands and growths for the increasingly sophisticated Asian consumer. Though the US will overtake the UK within the next five years as a consumer, the long term picture is that they will in turn be overtaken by China.
