THE ART OF COOPERAGE: CRAFTING WINE BARRELS🥂❤️🍷 🔥 Follow us: Wine International Association by Napa Valley Wine Academy The art of making wine barrels, a craft known as cooperage, is a time-honored tradition blending craftsmanship and an understanding of both wood and wine. The process begins with the careful selection of wood, most commonly oak, which is aged and seasoned to achieve the desired characteristics. Each stave of the barrel is meticulously shaped and smoothed, ensuring a tight fit without the use of nails or glue. The barrel is then toasted, a crucial step where the interior is exposed to a controlled flame, influencing the flavor and aroma profiles imparted to the wine. This requires a precise balance, as the level of toasting must complement the type of wine that will be aged in the barrel. The cooper's skill lies in shaping these vessels not just as containers, but as contributors to the wine's ultimate expression, marrying tradition with the subtle art of flavor enhancement. This age-old craft, requiring both precision and intuition, plays a pivotal role in the journey from grape to glass, deeply influencing the character and complexity of the wine. #winebusiness #vino #sommelier #champagne #ai #funny #Innovation  #Technology  #Future  #advertisingandmarketing  #sustainability #productivity #travel #businessintelligence #artificialintelligence #automation #food #sustainable #Food #restaurant #export #import

THE TIMELESS ART OF "COOPERAGE"🍷🔥 Follow us: Wine International Association (WIA) by Napa Valley Wine Academy The art of making wine barrels, known as cooperage, is a centuries-old craft that combines meticulous craftsmanship with a deep understanding of both wood and wine. It begins with the careful selection of wood, typically oak, prized for its tight grain and ability to enhance wine with nuanced flavors. The wood is aged and seasoned to perfection before being transformed into staves, each precisely shaped and smoothed to fit seamlessly without nails or glue. A pivotal stage in the process is toasting, where the barrel’s interior is gently exposed to a controlled flame. This step imparts flavors and aromas that complement the wine, requiring the cooper to strike a delicate balance based on the type of wine the barrel will hold. More than just containers, these barrels act as partners in the aging process, shaping the wine's character and complexity. Cooperage is a true marriage of tradition and skill, where precision and intuition come together to create vessels that play a vital role in the journey from vineyard to glass. #winebusiness #vino #sommelier #champagne #ai #Innovation #Technology #Future #advertisingandmarketing #travel #automation #food #sustainable #wine #restaurant #export #italy #france #spain

Wine branding. On a different level.

Latour 1982 was enjoyed alongside 1982 Mouton, both earning perfect scores from numerous critics.⁠ ⁠ 1982 Mouton exhibits evolved, mahogany color, showcasing seductive characteristics of lifted Asian spices, cigar, cassis, ripe dark cherries, burned orange peel, shoe polish, and graphite.⁠ ⁠ In the mouth flows perfectly, with evolved sweet and sour cherries and cassis, accompanied by burned orange, an Asian spice mix, flint, and graphite freshness. Tannins are resolving, blending perfectly into the wine's structure, lifted by lean, precise, and savory acidity, creating a silky and invigorating depth.⁠ ⁠ The long, bright, high-quality aftertaste is pleasant and invigorating, leaving behind a spicy, creamy sweet & sour residue that is extremely pleasurable. 98 ⁠ ⁠ While Mouton 1982 is excellent, I expected a bit more for a wine rated 100 points, especially when compared side by side with Latour. Latour outdid Mouton in all departments, including perhaps the most important one for first growth Bordeaux: longevity.⁠ ⁠ Comparing them was great; Latour is a much superior wine, darker and much younger, hardly secondary, and feels much denser and backwards with much greater upside. You can read all the notes of Latour 1982 in the previous post.⁠ ⁠ It was another great lunch, only topped by the company 🙏🏻 Pat, @chrisvanaeken @ltjbukem.⁠ ⁠ #Mouton1982⁠ #WineLegacy⁠ #FineVintage⁠ #MoutonRothschild⁠ #WineTasting⁠ #LuxuryWine⁠ #BordeauxWines⁠ #WineCollector⁠ #LegendaryVintage⁠

How to Build a Wine Brand That Speaks to Your Customer's Emotions When rebranding Avaland Wines, one thing was crystal clear: the design had to speak to status. Our target audience isn’t just seeking a great-tasting wine, they belong to the “Optimistic Esteem” mindset. They desire more than just a drink; they want a symbol of prestige. Something they can proudly display, gift, and share at celebrations. It’s about maximizing their chances of being seen, admired, and valued. Every detail of Avaland's new design had to reflect luxury, exclusivity, and an undeniable sense of achievement: 1. The color palette? Understated yet powerful, deep golds and rich textures that exude sophistication. 2. The bottle shape? Timeless and elegant, crafted to command attention at any gathering. 3. The label? A bold visual statement, a reflection of the discerning taste of the person holding it. For my clients, whether building a new brand or refining an existing one, design is crucial in communicating not just the value of the wine, but the emotional connection it creates. As a wine consultant, I help brands craft not just beautiful wines, but wine experiences that resonate deeply with customers’ emotional states. Because in the world of wine, it’s not just about what’s inside. It’s about what it represents. #WineBranding #EmotionalMarketing #LuxuryWine #WineConsultancy #WineQuality #WineProduction #Winemaking

Clos des Lambrays- Grand Cru, Domaine des Lambrays-LVMH LVMH Vins d'Exception "From Grape to Stars" Project in Burgundy The series represents vats of fermenting wine seen from above. Every year I work with the most prestigious French wine estates in the four weeks following the harvest. It is a work on the concept of transformation, in this case that of grapes into wine, which is found everywhere in the universe. By plunging my gaze into the organic, I show how Man, who is at the heart of this transformation, reveals its cosmic dimension. In this visual metaphor where the vats of wine strangely resemble planets made like us of nitrogen, calcium, and iron I myself transform into “Stardust” to touch, for a moment, the origin of life. I go back in time to capture the DNA of these iconic wines in the early days of their birth. These wines are rare, sometimes almost impossible to find, and some of the winegrowers who produce them are considered Stars.   Works avaible: Edition of 7, 100X100cm (39”x39”) Edition of 3, 150x150cm (59’’x59’’) #art#photography
