Now, Clara Orban has created the ultimate companion to Illinois wines and wineries. This illustrated volume is a comprehensive yet user-friendly guide for both experienced wine lovers and amateur oenophiles. Orban, a certified sommelier, begins with the history of Illinois wine production and wineries. She then enlightens readers on such wine basics as the most common grapes grown in Illinois, optimal food and wine pairings, the tenets of wine tasting, and provides an overview of the world of labels, bottles, and corks. The fascinating science of wine also is discussed, including the particulars of Illinois soil and climate and their effect on the industry. Orban then provides a guide to all the wineries listed by the Illinois Grape Growers and Vintners’ Association. For each winery, she offers a succinct history, information regarding the variety of grapes used, hours of operation, location, and contact information. In addition to providing readers with a background of the state’s industry and snapshots of individual wineries, Illinois Wines and Wineries provides a glossary of key wine terms, including those specific to the state of Illinois, as well as color photos and a map to each location visited in the book. This sophisticated yet practical guidebook is an essential resource for connoisseurs and casual enthusiasts alike who are interested in exploring Illinois’s rich winemaking legacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study examines vertical coordination in an emerging Illinois wine industry. Results generally corroborate earlier findings that quality matters, as temporal issues related to grape perishability increase the probability written contracts are used to procure grapes and decrease reliance on informal agreements. Hold-up concerns related to sourcing adequate quality grapes and at risk investments winemaking equipment displace informal contracts with in-house production. Older wineries also rely more on their own vineyards, and larger ones require additional outside supplies. There is also some evidence that a few wineries outsource wine production activities to more experienced and larger wineries"--Abstract.

Download or read book Art of Wine Making Business Startup written by Alberto Ricci and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-06-13 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Would you like to learn how to make Wine at home and perhaps start your own winery one day, be your own boss, and make 6 figures a year doing something you love? What if I told you that it's easier than it sounds? This guide will teach you everything you need to know to make, bottle, and sell your own exclusive brand of wine and become a successful Winemaker. Wine is timeless, classy, and fun. You need not be a sommelier to know how to make and sell unique, glamourous, and delicious wine. Wine is also easy to sell because the market is vast, and wine is always in demand. If you are reading this, then it is safe to assume you are interested in wine making at home. Wine making is a fun activity that is not only affordable to start but could also be profitable if you just put in your best effort. This vastly updated second edition of "Art of Wine Making Business Startup, 2nd Edition, How to Start a Million Dollar Success from Home" contains even more vital information than my first edition. I have learned so much since publishing my first attempt that I know you will benefit even more from this second publishing. I started making wine almost 15 years ago, but it wasn't necessarily something that I expected I would be doing for the long term. I started making my wine out of sheer curiosity. Today, I am semi-retired, and my wine business is absolutely booming. The frustration I have had with wines over the years got me thinking, what if I tried to make wine myself? Surely I could do somewhat better than all those other people who make wine if I just put in a good amount of effort into the process. It was a crazy idea, but I figured that every smart idea in the world starts out of something crazy, right? I also figured it would be fun to see just what types of wine I could produce. I have seen so many brands popping up selling wines of all sorts I did extensive research and found out that there is not much information out there on how to make it all blend just right, so I set out to test various methods and recipes, I would tweak this and tweak that, and in about a year's time, I finally realized, I have perfected the process. Eventually, I started making even more wine. Today, I have a small operation where I sell wines to local businesses and restaurants in my area. Most books out there will show you the process, the ingredients you need, and how it all works, but none of them show you how to make it just right. If you learn how to make a cheap $5 bottle of wine, you might as well just buy that and not spend your valuable time and effort. On the other hand, what if you knew how to make that $100 bottle of wine? Wouldn't that be worth spending your time and energy on? This book is divided into two parts. In the first part, I show you how to make wine at home. Next, in the second part, I discuss how to sell your wine and start a small business. You will learn: In part 1- What you need to start making wine Understanding the different types of wine Learning and understanding Grapes and other fruits and their variations Legal points relating to making wine Getting the equipment for winemaking safe and ready for use The fermentation process Storing wine properly The aging process In part 2- Why and how to sell your wine 6 essential aspects of selling wine Timeline for starting your wine business The legal framework for your business Understanding profit margin and markup How to promote your wine This title is currently available with the Kindle Unlimited program.

Download or read book Wines of Eastern North America written by Hudson Cattell and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-15 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1975 there were 125 wineries in eastern North America. By 2013 there were more than 2,400. How and why the eastern United States and Canada became a major wine region of the world is the subject of this history. Unlike winemakers in California with its Mediterranean climate, the pioneers who founded the industry after Prohibition—1933 in the United States and 1927 in Ontario—had to overcome natural obstacles such as subzero cold in winter and high humidity in the summer that favored diseases devastating to grapevines. Enologists and viticulturists at Eastern research stations began to find grapevine varieties that could survive in the East and make world-class wines. These pioneers were followed by an increasing number of dedicated growers and winemakers who fought in each of their states to get laws dating back to Prohibition changed so that an industry could begin. Hudson Cattell, a leading authority on the wines of the East, in this book presents a comprehensive history of the growth of the industry from Prohibition to today. He draws on extensive archival research and his more than thirty-five years as a wine journalist specializing in the grape and wine industry of the wines of eastern North America. The second section of the book adds detail to the history in the form of multiple appendixes that can be referred to time and again. Included here is information on the origin of grapes used for wine in the East, the crosses used in developing the French hybrids and other varieties, how the grapes were named, and the types of wines made in the East and when. Cattell also provides a state-by-state history of the earliest wineries that led the way.
