We are all aware of the importance and consequences of global warming, but now another concern has added over this sensitive issue, global warming affects wine, consequently the wine producers and of course, consumers.

In the Third World Congress on Climate Change and Wine, held a few days in the city of Marbella (Spain), it reached many important conclusions about the future of wine at the imminent global warming. Among these, the most shocking news related to wine, was that global warming would increase wines level of alcohol.

But it was not the only news mentioned in this conference, they also discussed that some red wines would lose their color and flavor, the acidity of Wine itself would also be lower and in the case of light wines the opposite would happen. These unmanageable changes will affect many of the own qualities of each wine.

The mysteries around the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton are gradually revealed. Now we found out that the official wedding's Champagne has ben from the French wine cellar Pol Roger, but we do not know which one in particular.

What we do know is that the future monarchs have decided not to choose a special vintage Champagne, so the candidates have been either the Pol Roger Brut Réserve, Pol Roger Pure and Pol Roger Rich, since all others are special vintage champagnes.

Pol Roger is a well considereted cellar in the English high society since Winston Churchill, a great fan of French wines. Mr. Churchill had chosen it as his favorite Champagne. In fact, the firm produces the Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill at his honor ever since then.

In the British Royal Family, however, until now the favorite has been Bollinger. Queen Victoria appointed him as the royal supplier in 1884, and in 1981, Bollinger was one of those served at the wedding of Prince Charles and Diana, along with Krug and Dom Pérignon.

We know one of the wines served at the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. In particular, the choosen one served at the royal reception at Buckingham Palace, and that is an English wine named Flint Dry 2010, from Chapel Down cellar.

We already announced the creation of wine cellars in the UK, because weather conditions were becoming favorable. And the British Royal family, with this gesture, encourages and promotes as best as possible way their native wines.

The Flint Dry 2010 is a wine made ​​with Chardonnay and the indigenous Huxelrebe and Bacchus.

As we know the rest of the wines we will keep you informed.

And what about you?, what wines did you have at your wedding?

Pizza is one of the most popular dishes in the world, from its beginnings in the city of Naples up to the present days has been progressing, taking by assault the palate of the entire world. There are an incredible variety of types of pizza, which vary in their ingredients and preparation, but the question always is: How shall we pair the pizza, the answer as in many meals is summed up in four letters: "wine.”

Most pizzas have ham, salami or other sausages, which pair great with wine, and the inevitable ingredient is undoubtedly the cheese, another loyal friend of wine, and with these premises wine becomes the best companion of pizza without a question.

We show you the rest:

Can a vineyard be declared a World Heritage Site? In Burgundy they believe so, and have embarked to achieve it.

Les "Climats" du Vignoble de Bourgogne is the title chosen to present the nomination to UNESCO's World Heritage.

Burgundian Climats to be declared World Heritage Site is the dream of many winegrowers the Burgundy region, mainly in the areas between Dijon and Beaune. Under the chairmanship of Mr. Aubert de Villaine, grower in Côte-d'Or, the request complies with all local stakeholders such as the Bureau Interprofessionnel des Vins de Bourgogne (BIVB), the Burgundy Regional Council, the General Council Côte d 'Or, the city of Dijon and Beaune Town Hall, offering their support and commitment to this major project.

A "climat" (weather), in Burgundy is more than just the weather. Is the name given here in Burgundy to what in the world is called "terroir", is the conjunction of climate and soil.

In a climat, the parcels of land that benefit from specific geological and climatic conditions are precisely defined, along with the work of men and the use of only 2 grapes, Pinot Noir for red wines and Chardonnay for white wines, have created a mosaic of exceptional wines and world-class hierarchy.

This week Appellations of Origin Rioja and Ribera del Duero have made public the status of the vintage 2010. In both cases it was considered that 2010 should be considered "excellent."

The rating of the vintage is done after putting controls on young wines of each appellation, by the respective Control Board. These young wines that already are on sale, can at the same time predict the average quality of the Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva wines which will come out in the next years.

In Rioja, the Denomination of Origin covers an area of 100 km. long by 40km. maximum wide, that is, a lot of land. Each of the 3 Subareas (Rioja Alta, Rioja Baja and Rioja Alavesa) has a very different type of soil, and climates (going though the Mediterranean to continental), so the conditions have not been the same for all, neither can wine come out equal. Another thing is the case of very large production wineries that buy grapes throughout the whole D.O., so they are able to maintain a standardized flavor year after year.
