Samenwerking EFFEVENT en AgriMedia verbindt Champagne en Lage Landen
EFFEVENT en AgriMedia koppelen Champagne aan de groeiende wijnbouw in Nederland en België. Klimaatverschuiving en mousserende wijn vragen om kennis en technologie. Er komt een Nederlands-Belgische delegatie naar VITeff 2027 in Épernay.
Gelezen
- Volcanic flavor in wine? Robin Garr over vulkanische bodems: poreus, mineraalrijk, snelle drainage en vaak phylloxera-onvriendelijk. Etna en Nerello Mascalese als ijkpunt; rook als ‘lava-aroma’ betwijfelt hij.
- Is Tasting Teachable? Stephen Taylor Marsh onderscheidt proeven van drinken en appreciation van analysis. Volume alleen maakt geen expert; intentional practice wel — relevant voor WSET/CMS-opleiding.
- 3 producers championing Gredos Miguel Crunia over Rico Nuevo (biodynamische principes, Cebreros), Arrayán en Nietos de Señora María. Gredos is geen DO maar Méntrida, Cebreros en Vinos de Madrid op graniet op 600–1200 m.

- Volcanic flavor in wine? Robin Garr on volcanic soils: porous, mineral-rich, fast-draining and often hostile to phylloxera. Etna and Nerello Mascalese as a touchstone; he doubts smoky ‘lava’ flavour claims.
- Is Tasting Teachable? Stephen Taylor Marsh separates tasting from drinking and appreciation from analysis. Volume alone does not make an expert; intentional practice does — relevant for WSET/CMS training.
- 3 producers championing Gredos Miguel Crunia on Rico Nuevo (biodynamic principles, Cebreros), Arrayán and Nietos de Señora María. Gredos is not a DO but Méntrida, Cebreros and Vinos de Madrid on granite at 600–1200 m.
