Why now ‪#‎organic‬ ‪#‎wine‬ are so popular and why we decide to have them in our store

An ‪#‎organicwine‬ is a wine made from grapes that have been grown without the use of artificial or synthetic chemicals, such as herbicides and pesticides. To keep the weeds and bugs at bay, #organic farmers work with nature, rather than against it, by boosting their vineyard’s biodiversity. For example, they introduce cover crops to provide a habitat for beneficial insects that are the natural enemy of problem species, or have small sheep graze between the vine rows, eating the grass and weeds. In this way, the vineyard becomes a self-regulating, natural ecosystem, which is able to combat problems intrinsically and eliminates the need for artificial, and potentially toxic, chemicals. But to be sure that the #wine you are drinking is truly #organic, it must be‪#‎certified‬. Certification is provided by an independent third-party organisation, which carries out annual audits on vineyards that have applied for organic certification, to ensure that the grapes that they grow comply with the strict standards of both the particular certifying body and the department of agriculture. It is against the law for a wine producer to sell or promote their wine as organic if it is not certified. For most of you , the choice to drink an #organic #wine usually comes down to taste. As with most organic produce, be it beef, eggs, apples, or dare I say it, kale, the flavours are inherent, complex, pure and delicious. Organic food nourishes you in a way that no conventionally grown food can, and the same can be said of organic wine. Many sommeliers love serving these types of wines in their restaurants because they taste great and they tend to go well with food.

5 Things You need to know about ‪#‎JapaneseWhisky‬.

A single-malt from Japan has been named the best whisky in the world for the first time. Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible had named Suntory’s Yamazaki Single Malt Sherry Cask 2013 the best whisky in the world — the first time the honor has gone to a whisky from Japan.

After all, Japanese whisky has been a rising star in the spirits world for some time now. So, in honor of the big win, here are five things you should know about Japanese whisky.

"It’s The New Kid on the Block" — Japanese whisky has been commercially produced since the early 1920s, when the Yamazaki distillery was first built near Kyoto. Throughout the 20th century, Japanese whiskies were primarily sold and consumed within ‪#‎Japan‬, yet they’ve become increasingly popular in ‪#‎Europe‬ and ‪#‎North‬ American in recent years.

"Production" — Japanese whiskies were first modelled on Scottish whiskies — Suntory’s first master distiller Masataka Taketsuru studied in‪#‎Scotland‬ and wanted to bring the drink home — so they are produced in much the same way, distilled twice using pot stills. Many distilleries even use malted and sometimes peated barley imported from #Scotland.

"About That Missing" “E” — As Japanese whisky has much in common with Scottish whiskies, rather than the Irish or American varieties, its name follows the Scotch tradition and is spelled without an “e.”

"Pop Culture Moment" — Japanese whisky makes a prominent appearance in 2003’s ‪#‎LostinTranslation‬. In the film, Bill Murrary’s character Bob Harris is a washed-up actor who heads to Japan to shill for Suntory whisky. Tag line: “For relaxing times, make it Suntory time.”

Vanmorgen toen ik bij de winkel aankwam, stonden er twee busjes met zwaailichten bij mijn winkel. In de winkel liepen agenten. Ik heb direct 112 gebeld. Toen ik de winkel binnen wilde gaan, werd ik tegengehouden door een agenten. Er was een verdachte tijdbom gevonden in de etalage. Ik heb hem uitgelegd dat het een Sinterklaassurprise was voor pakjesavond. ‘s Middags heb ik twee Zwarte Pieten voor…

Dagboek van een slijter (1)

Vandaag heb ik de winkel geopend. Ik deelde ballonnen uit aan kinderen. Een kind zijn ballon per ongeluk wegwaaien. De winkel staat vol met flessen drank in allerlei kleuren. Misschien moet ik ze van klein naar groot rangschikken? Er kwamen veel mensen even binnen kijken. Een bezoeker vroeg mij wat er het beste bij rood vlees past. Ik heb hem een braadpan aangeraden. Het was een feestelijk dag.
