‘Aroma and the texture in the glass, aroma and the texture on the plate – it comes as no surprise that the worlds of wine and food are so closely linked’ (Iland et al 2009, p. 194). The perception of food and wine pairing is to define the key food and wine elements that will either contrast or complement each other to make the combination harmonious. Every single person is a little different, both physically and psychologically (Szabo 2012). Senses, like smell or taste can vary from person to person, as well people have different experiences and opinions which foods and wines make a better combination. There are no certain rules for pairing food with wine, but some hints like complementing and contrasting each food and wine can make them work better together and be more enjoyable or even memorable. Firstly, pair wine with food that has similar taste or texture, secondly, contrast the flavours of one with the other (Dorenberg et al 2006). As reported by Harrington (2005), light wines are good with light dishes and heavy wines with heavy dishes; the weight of each one permits the differentiating flavours to work. Selection of appropriate wine and food can enhance better dining experiences, customer satisfaction as well as increase business efficiency through wine sales. Knowledge on how to interact the wine with the food will make better control on the experience of a meal.
Main principles to follow in good wine and food matching are compliment or contrast. In which you have to identify the food and wine key elements, like flavour and texture, as well as sensory components to make a better balance between the two. Physiologically, humans have taste buds that give us an ability to perceive five primary taste sensations in the mo...

Economic returns in the global market place have been influenced by trends in wine consumption. Figure 2 shows a trend of decreasing wine consumption from 2007 - 2011 in most old world countries while new world countries were increasing their consumption. This is due to the diversification of alcoholic beverages in the old world countries and the growing wine popularity in the new world
In the span of only a few pages, L.B. Church has given us an overview of the winemaking process. He has done so with sufficient detail for those in the chemistry community to follow along, yet still in a cursory enough manner as to not bog them down with the unnecessary. Written as if it were the procedure of an experiment, he has given enough information for the experiment to be repeated, tested, validated and improved upon. And that is almost assuredly his goal from the very beginning, as it must be for any published author in the chemistry community.

When I think of culinary I think of France, the culinary capitol of the world. France has so many types of cooking styles in their many regions, such as, the region of Languedoc. (Rapp, 2011) (Rapp, 2011)Languedoc is in southern France. Languedoc was a dominion of the Counts of Toulouse — independent principalities in southwestern France — until the thirteenth century when it became a possession of the French Crown. In the past many French people considered the Languedoc a desert of French gastronomy. But the rich tradition of cooking in Languedoc was evident long ago, if we consider Racine's comment, who first remarked, while staying in Uzès in 1661, that twenty caterers could make a living there but a bookseller would starve to death, and that Languedoc had the best olive in the world. (Wright, 2014). The olive tree is one of Languedoc emblem (meaning peace) and it’s been Languedoc civilization in the past also now in the present. The olive and its tree has defined a place in Languedoc history, culture, and religious, also very therapeutic. There are different types, colors and flavors that olive tree produces. The olive tree require the long hot and dry summers in Languedoc they also need the mild winter in Languedoc climate. In the fall the months of September and October the olives grow a pale green and then the winter months of December and January the olives go through stages, changing it color from pale mauve then violet and then black. In Languedoc the olive trees are everywhere like we have trees in the states, their leaves are slivery gray and green and the provide shade in the summers days like our trees. Olives are so big in Languedoc they are sold in every street market and store, there is a wide verity of olives and...
Red liquid sweet but bitter, the taste leaves the drinker wanting more. It's been a long hard week, and waiting at home for you is a nice bottle of red wine from one of the best local wineries. Wine has been around since about 6600 BC; and slowly but surely it grew to become one of the most money making industry in Sonoma County, wine itself. When looking and hearing at economic growth or impact, the main topics that are talked about are climate change, college, or even sports. Little do we know that wine has had impacted the growth in Sonoma County. Throughout this paper we will be looking at the history of wine, and the impact of wine in Sonoma county.

Generally speaking, other alcoholic beverages can be viewed as being a substitute for wine. However, specific substitution of wine in the New World is low because most individuals prefer to purchase wine from a retail facility instead of producing their own. Where as in the Old World the option of producing wine...

A large community that represents and promotes Culinology is known as the “Research Chef Association” (RCA). This association was founded in 1996 by a group of like-minded food professionals. Which today are still working towards one common goal: to bring excellence to food product development. The RCA believes that Culinologists both define and will create the future of food. To accomplish such a feat a great deal of work must be done, and a major part of achieving that goal is to be able to predict what the consumers want.
