😍First time on the print pages of IWSC - Club Oenologique and Lala Richards asked me to explore the phenomenon of spirits using (and adapting) Sherry's solera system. Fitting, as this issue was guest edited by Spanish food visionary Ferran Adria from el Bulli foundation. Its pages are as such filled with stories that pay homage to Adria's approach to flavour and ingredients.🧑🍳 When it comes to using the word 'solera' in spirits - from rum to whisky - it isn't always a like-for-like application: 'It conjures romanticism and tradition; its pyramids represent the skill and science that make this time-honoured process work so successfully. Yet how it positively affects spirits is a looming question that isn't always easy to answer. #solera #Spain #Sherry #spiritswriting

Check out the expanding landscape of English Whisky. Worthy of note (you'll need to download the high resolution version!) is that while 25 distilleries have a finished product launched, 25 more have spirit ageing in cask, but are yet to release. Bodes well for the future of English Whisky! #englishwhisky #caskwhisky

#RevivalAudioNextLevelReview We are thrilled to announce another 5-star review for ATALANTE 5 from the top-tier Norwegian hi-fi magazine Stereopluss Here is the highlight translated: “It's incredible to see a new product on the market that makes loudspeakers that can be compared well with both two and three times as expensive products. Atalante 5 is among the most dynamic "ordinary" loudspeakers I have heard and plays with a freshness that lets the mind fly to the most beautiful white wines of the Alsace region. The price taken into account is impossible not to give top marks here. Brilliant.” Read the full review here: https://lnkd.in/enMzW53j More about ATALANTE 5: https://lnkd.in/eqBAU_Gr Book your Demo: https://lnkd.in/eqDw8hWm #ListenToTheNextLevel #ATALANTE #ATALANTE_5 #RevivalAudio #RevivalAudioNextLevelReview

🍷 Last year, an Australian winemaker in Singapore successfully appealed a decision on the registration of the #GeographicalIndication (GI) "Prosecco" as exclusive to specified Italian regions. The High Court ruled against an Italian consortium, which had previously tried to register the term “Prosecco” as a GI near the Singapore Intellectual Property Office. The court stated that using the name of a plant variety might mislead consumers about the wine's true origin because the variety of grapes in question could be used in other regions as well. Fast forward to this year - on November 8th, 2023, the Court of Appeal overturned the previous decision. Now, "Prosecco" can be registered as a GI in Singapore, exclusively for wines from specific regions in Italy. This marks a significant legal milestone in the realm of GIs in the country, as it is the first decision by the Singaporean Court of Appeals on this matter. The key question in the Singaporean courts was whether registering "Prosecco" would mislead consumers into thinking the wine could only originate from the specified Italian region, and not from a different place where the same grape variety is used. The court stressed the importance of avoiding such misunderstanding, considering the term unregistrable unless it truly originates from Italy. Cheers to the evolving landscape of geographical indications. 🍷 https://lnkd.in/ea8nZVeQ (Court of Appeal / Civil Appeal No 50 of 2022 Between Consorzio di Tutela della Denominazione di Origine Controllata Prosecco (Appellant) And Australian Grape and Wine Incorporated (Respondent)) #HSSIPM #Prosecco #Italy #geographicalindications #IPNews #IPLaw #Legal #Trademarks #IntellectualProperty

The emerging grand crus of South America: Las Compuertas // An historic corner of Argentina's cradle of Malbec is back in the spotlight. Luján de Cuyo is quite rightly considered the “cradle of Malbec.” It was here, just south of the city of Mendoza, that Malbec made its name and sent shockwaves through the world of wine in the early 2000s. Development farther south in the Uco Valley over the past two decades, though, has rather overshadowed the wines of Luján de Cuyo. There is one appellation, however, that is reclaiming its place in the spotlight: the historic Las Compuertas.

This week's translation was an agreement of a product with a denomination of origin. Do you know what this means? 🤔 👉 According to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), geographical indication is a sign used on products that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities or a reputation that are due to that origin. 👉 An appellation or denomination of origin is a special kind of geographical indication generally consisting of a geographical name or a traditional designation used on products that have a specific quality or characteristics that are essentially due to the geographical environment in which they are produced. Usually, it refers to a locality, city, country, or region where the product has been collected, transformed, or manufactured. They both protect the product name from misuse or imitation. 💯 🌏 The names of certain beverages, such as Tequila, Champagne, or Pisco are typical examples of these specialized brands, which are recognized worldwide for their particular characteristics. 🇦🇷 In Argentina, we can mention YERBA MATE, SALAME DE TANDIL, and CHIVITO CRIOLLO DEL NORTE NEUQUINO as denominations of origin. 🧉😊🔖😋

Trade marks - case of first Scottish 'tequila' maker is example of a geographical indication (GI) prohibition at work. A GI is an intellectual property right that protects a name of a product that has a specific geographical origin and owes its qualities and/or reputation to its particular origin. TEQUILA was established in 1974 by means of a Declaration for the Protection of the Appellation of Origin. The Mexican State is the owner and holder of every right concerning the appellation of origin.
