A Glass of Wine and Heart Attack

During his stay in London, England, Anna Chintia, 28, has a new habit. To get around the cold weather, he so often drink alcohol, especially Wine. "Making our body warmer," says single people who have recently returned to the country after the course for three months in London.

However, this practice does not make her into an alcoholic. He was conscious to not drink until you dizzy head or drunk. "Just one small glass anyway, which is important to keep warm," he said.
In addition to make a warm body, he continued, the discovery of some articles in the virtual world, drinking wine in a certain dose efficacious to health, among others, could reduce the risk of heart disease.

On this, he, among others, refer to the research of University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) in New York. Researchers from UMRC, Eileen Redmond, explained that small amounts of alcohol can hold molecules that can create plaque in the arterial wall so that it can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Molecule called Notch protein helps control the muscles that regulate blood flow in arteries. When stimulated Notch molecule, for example with high cholesterol levels and smoking habits, plaque will grow and develop in the arteries.

But when the muscles that can create plaque in the arteries is affected by alcohol, according to Redmond, Notch molecules are prevented and the cells in the arterial wall will not grow and thicken. "Drink (Wine) in small amounts on a regular basis have the best effect in the prevention of heart disease," said Redmond told MyHealthNewsDaily.

Nutritionist Rachel Djuwita Hatma justify the conclusion that research. Among the several types of beverages that contain alcohol, according to him, red wine (red wine) was the one who can best prevent heart disease. "There plafonoid content that may lower the risk of heart disease," said the lecturer at the Faculty of Public Health University of Indonesia when asked for confirmation Tempo yesterday.
But Rachel cautioned, a good dose of alcohol to reduce the risk of heart disease is in small amounts. "A sip (one sip) of alcohol alone," says this bespectacled woman.

In addition, because the climate in Indonesia in general is very different from Europe or other countries that recognize the winter, Ratna rate of alcohol consumption to health can not be done in Indonesia. Moreover, alcohol consumption in Indonesia is prohibited by religion (Islam).

Riani naturopathy expert Susan recognizes that fermented wine does have a good antioxidant. Antioxidants contained in the wine obtained from fermentation process of wines that have unique things. "This is what makes wine consumption can reduce heart disease risk," says the founder of Healthy Choice outlets this.

Nevertheless, he agrees with Rachel to not recommend drinking wine as an effort to prevent heart disease. "Wine is not a drug," said Riani. Therefore, Wine can not simply be consumed.
During this time the population of France and Italy are known rare heart disease. However, Riani said, this is not just caused solely by the habit of drinking wine. "It must be remembered, the Italians and the French consume a lot of foods that are boiled and do not eat fried food like us," said a graduate of Southern College of Arkansas, United States, this.

In France and Italy too, said Riani, people liked to walk to get from one place to another. In addition, air pollution has not been as severe there as in Indonesia. Conversely, the trend of urban communities in Indonesia are even more stylish everywhere sitting in the car. Fanny Febiana | LIVE SCIENCE

Wine Putih Halal

AMSTERDAM (Berita SuaraMedia) – Taner Tabak (35) telah berusaha memperoleh sertifikat Wine putih halal selama dua tahun, dan kini ia telah berhasil. "Kevserhelalwine" miliknya lolos tes dan mendapat sertifikat halal dari Kontrol Kualitas Halal (Halal Quality Control – HQC).

Pencarian Tabak akan anggur dengan kadar alkohol 0% dilakukan atas permintaan kaum Muslim. Pada pertemuan setiap hari Jumat, mereka tidak dapat minum bersama kolega dan teman-teman dan sebuah "Wine halal" dapat menjadi solusi bagi persoalan itu.

Tabak mempelajari proses pembuatan Wine bebas alkohol. Melalui sebuah proses teknis baru, yang membuatnya mendapatkan hak paten, Tabak, bekerjasama dengan sebuah perusahaan Jerman, berhasil membuat Wine bebas alkohol. Tabak mengatakan memang telah ada minuman Wine yang dikatakan bebas alkohol, namun mereka tidak lolos tes halal HQC karena masih mengandung sedikit alkohol.

HQC memiliki banyak syarat sebelum mereka memberikan sebuah sertifikat pada suatu produk. Sebuah permintaan tambahan untuk memperoleh sertifikat contohnya adalah peraturan higienis. Mereka mengerjakannya di bawah konsultasi dengan HQC. Tabak mengatakan, "Wine halal tidak dibuat begitu saja!"

Kelompok sasaran Tabak bukan hanya kaum Muslim, melainkan lebih luas lagi. "Yang juga menjadi sasaran saya adalah para wanita hamil, mereka yang terkena diabetes, mereka yang harus menyetir setelah menghadiri sebuah pesta dan karena itu tidak bisa minum alkohol dan sebagainya."

Di antara koleksi Tabak adalah Wine merah, putih, dan mawar, juga Wine yang berat. Ia yakin akan kelezatan rasa Wine nya dan baru-baru ini menantang seorang ahli Wine Nicolaas Klei untuk datang dan mencicipi anggurnya.

Nama kevser merujuk pada sebuah surat di Al Quran, jelas Tabak. Surat itu berbicara tentang Wine halal.

Tabak tidak khawatir akan penjualan Wine - nya. Negara-negara seperti Malaysia, Azerbaijan, Dubai, dan bahkan Arab Saudi telah menunjukkan ketertarikannya, ujar Tabak dengan antusias.

Tabak menjual Kevserhelalwine melalui perusahaan miliknya, Talay Wine Company, dengan harga rata-rata 6-7 euro (Rp. 90.000 – 100.000).

"Kami telah mengubah yang haram menjadi halal. Wine yang berasa seperti Wine tapi benar-benar bebas alkohol, dan kami memproduksinya," ujar Tabak.

Wine halal buatan Tabak bukan satu-satunya minuman beralkohol yang tidak mengandung alkohol. Tahun lalu, di Perancis diproduksi Chamalal, sampanye halal. Seperti sampanye pada umumnya, minuman ini juga terbuat dari Wine dan bergelembung, namun bebas alkohol.

Diluncurkan pada bulan September, tepat menjelang bulan suci Ramadhan tahun 2008, Chamala terbukti berhasil diterima di negara asal sampanye itu. Tidak ada satu acara pun yang akan lengkap tanpa kehadirannya.
Versi halal gelembung sampanye ini dijual dengan harga sekitar 60 euro (Rp. 900.000) per botol di beberapa restoran, namun jauh lebih murah jika membelinya di supermarket.

Penemu Chamalal, Rachid Gacem, mengatakan bahwa ia melihat adanya celah dalam pasar minuman beralkohol.

"Ketika saya datang ke pesta dan semua orang meminum alkohol, seperti sampanye, mereka seringkali menanyakan apakah saya mau minum satu gelas. Tapi kami (Muslim) tidak minum alkohol. Karena saya ingin menjadi bagian dari pesta, saya ingin meminum sesuatu yang seperti sampanye, tapi bukan sampanye."
Menanggapi minuman tersebut, tak semua Muslim lantas setuju. Beberapa di antara pemeluk Islam mempertanyakan bahkan meragukan kandungan isi Cham'alal. Seperti komentar-komentar di situs berita online yang menulis tentang peluncuran Cham'alal, yang salah satunya berbunyi, "Apakah itu benar-benar minuman Wine berkarbonasi?".

The basic ingredients are chicken yakitori own, according to the meaning of the word tori which means chicken. All parts of chicken, such as thighs, skin, liver, etc., can be used for yakitori. In Japan, the chicken sate was then burned on the wood charcoal. This determines the quality of wood charcoal taste satenya. Hardwood charcoal and aromatic produce a more delicious satay, rather than a cheaper wood charcoal, or a grilled over a gas stove and electric grill. Some sellers use free-range chicken yakitori (jidori), which is more tough than regular chicken, but rather have a taste.

In their home country, yakitori popular among middle-class office workers as a snack after work on the way to the train station. Yakitori are sold at the yakitori-ya, (restaurant or food stalls on the roadside). Often times other than dyed with barbeque sauce (before baking), chicken meat was also doused with cold beer. Wow ... like what, ya feel? They end the meal with a swig of sake.

Steak Factory in Central Jakarta

Steak as if synonymous with the land of Uncle Sam because it is one of the highest quality beef. No wonder the line of the type of beef imported from there as U.S. T-Bone Streak, U.S. Beef Ribs, Tenderloin U.S., U.S. Sirloin and so forth. Inipula types are available at Factory Steak restaurant owned by Kenneth Chen. It may be practically most people think of steak comes from the U.S..

In fact, it is said was originally not the case. Beef is not exactly popular as part of the diet choice in the U.S. before the Civil War. According to a site, its history is not even real beef from the U.S.. Precisely who introduced cattle to the new world of the Spaniards to Mexico in 1540.

Then, in the 18th century by the Spanish Colonial and French began to raise cows. As railways developed at the time, they use trains to transport cattle from San Antonio, Texas to New Orleans. But this industry then fell due to a terrible winter when the herd of cows gone up to 90 percent.
But along with the development of the age at the time, beef production increased again since 1871. Even after World War II, aka beef beef became a symbol of American prosperity.

This symbol eventually became famous all over the world while also providing inspiration to the interpreter-cook. Thus, aka steak steak menu also managed to become a kitchen mainstay. Resto-special steak restaurants also appear. In order to be different and gain profit, each restaurant also has a uniqueness of each with a different strategy. This, too, who carried out the Steak Factory, opened in the region that there is no special restaurant steak. In addition it is still not forgotten the taste of Indonesian cuisine in membubui beef imports. Through the concept of a low profile and local, Steak Factory is ready to spread to other cities in the future.

"Whose name is not only a shop building in Jakarta alone but in the region too, meaning Steak Factory can open in other areas also," that Chen hopes the expansion plan forward. Selling may be steak, but the Steak Factory still not forget the spice native to Indonesia!

Ayo Minum Wine!!

Ini adalah yang ketiga dari Wine Carmenere saya mencicipi bulan ini. Seperti yang saya dinyatakan dalam dua artikel saya sebelumnya, Carmenere adalah salah satu anggur saya mendorong samping di masa lalu, tetapi telah ditempatkan pada daftar untuk memeriksa kembali pada tahun 2010. Dua yang pertama meninggalkan aku dengan perasaan campur aduk tentang anggur. Arboleda tahun 2006 lebih penuh bertubuh dengan banyak bumi, paprika hijau dan tembakau. Ini kurang buah dengan pengecualian beberapa saat ini hitam atau beberapa raspberry hitam di mulut. Concha y Toro Marques de Casa Concha 2007 jauh berbeda dengan aroma yang lebih banyak buah dan bumi kurang dan tembakau. Meskipun saya ingin mencoba Arboleda dengan steak panggang tebal, Marques de Casa Concha lebih fleksibel dan akan melakukannya dengan baik dengan ayam, semur, burger dan pizza.
Malam ini saya membuka sumbat Carmenere lain dari Concha y Toro, yang Casillero del Diablo 2008 Reserve. Sekali lagi aku menemukan sesuatu yang jauh berbeda dari dua sebelumnya, mungkin sedikit di-antara.

Ada ceri gelap sedikit dan blueberry tersembunyi di bawah aroma tembakau dan coklat. Mulut itu menawarkan sama dengan bumbu sedikit mengarah ke selesai kering, tapi pedas. Aku menikmati ini dengan beberapa Muenster dan keju Dubliner. Harga juga tepat untuk yang satu ini, pada $ 10 anda tidak bisa salah.
The Marques de Casa Concha, di $ 20, benar-benar yang terbaik dari tiga, meskipun Casillero del Diablo adalah membeli besar. Aku masih tidak dijual di Carmenere. Dalam beberapa bulan lagi aku akan mencoba tiga dan semoga tiga lagi sebelum tahun berakhir. Ini akan menyenangkan! (Whywineblog)

Chardonnay, the Wine

Chardonnay is the world's most popular White Wine grape, with over 300,000 acres planted, 100,000 in California alone. It’s homeland is the Burgundy region of France, where it produces sublime, complex table Wines (in Champagne and elsewhere it provides the base for many of the world’s best sparkling wines), but it also flourishes in California, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina and South Africa.

Chardonnay is a good-yielding variety that buds early in the season and also ripens relatively early, with its thin skin making it susceptible to rot from early rains. The best chardonnays come from cool climates like Burgundy or California’s Carneros District, but the variety also adapts well to warmer regions like Australia. Chardonnay ripens easily and produces medium-to-full-bodied wines with rich apple, citrus, and tropical fruit aromas and flavors. Although it can be vinified as a crisp, fruity quaffing wine, the best, most complex chardonnays, as in Burgundy, are fermented in small oak barrels and put through a secondary, malolactic fermentation, which imparts toasty, buttery characteristics to both the wine’s aroma and flavor.

Chardonnay is not an especially versatile food Wine and is best paired with simply prepared seafood and poultry dishes. (drinkwine)

Champagne from

'Champagne' produces world's most loved Wine - the 'champagne' of course! Most wines from this region are called as 'champagnes' by the European Union law. Let's get a bit deep into this beautiful region of France.

Champagne is a historic region of the northern administrative province of France. It is the best-known wine region around 160 kilometers from Paris, the capital of France. The Champagne administrative region is divided into five districts, namely - Vallée de la Marne, Montagne de Reims, Côte de Sézanne, Aube and Côte des Blancs, with Reims and Épernay being the main commercial segments of the region. All these regions, including around 14,000 grape growers in 300 villages, produce the world's finest, rich and sparkling white wine, which is France's greatest export.

This region has 3% of the total vine planted area. The credit of the smooth, light and fine wine goes to the texture of the soil as well. When the ocean structure changed about 70 million years back, it deposited the chalk subsoil behind it and after 60 million years, disastrous earthquakes rocked the region leaving the belemnite fossils and the marine sediments. All this resulted into the very fertile belemnite chalk terrain. This type of soil absorbs the day heat and releases it during the night. The soil also has a great drainage quality.

The Champagne region is near Paris, the capital of France. It has always been used as a crossroad for both, military as well as trade route. The ongoing military conflicts made huge impact on this region. At the time of the Hundred Years' War, the region was completely devastated. The village of Hautvillers was completely destroyed during the war of religion, that took place between the Catholics and Huguenots. Again the Thirty Years War and the Fronde Civil War caused huge loss to the vineyards because the whole region was stampeded by the military troops. This cycle of wars and devastation was on until the reign of Louise XIV, which finally brought peace to France and eventually the vineyards too.

Champagne's reputation prospered in the late middle ages, when several poets and writers made the wine of this region popular. At one point of time, many popes and royal authorities like, Pope Leo X, Charles V of Spain, Mary Queen of Scots, Francis I of France and Henry VIII of England also couldn't resist buying a tract of their own. After a few years, wine was being exported. The first recorded wine export happened in the year 1518, when Thomas Cardinal Wolsey, the chancellor of Henry VIII exported it from Champagne to England. The wines of this region, sold in Paris under two categories - vins de la montagne (wine of the wooden mountain) and vins de la rivière (wine of the Marne river), were very high in price. There was a trade rivalry between the Champagne and the Burgundy wines. This competition, in the 15th century, made the vineyard owners to cultivate the Pinot Noir, but it couldn't outdo the richness and quality of the Burgundy wine. After giving it much thought, they decided to concentrate on white wine only.

The foundation of a Champagne house was laid in the late 16th century, when a vineyard owner Gosset produced and exported still wine by his own name in the year 1584. This concept was new to the other farmers and soon after, producers like Ruinart, Moët et Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, etc. came in the market and became successful wine producers. The total wine production was around 300,000 bottles a year in 1800 but as the technology advanced, a revolution happened. By the 19th century, the total production had reached upto 20 million bottles a year.

In the early 19th century, the administration of Champagne decided its viticultural boundaries and the five districts were formed. With a total area of around 76,000 acres of about 300 villages, there are more than 15000 vineyard owners who sell grapes for wine and 5000 owners who produce wine. There are plans to expand this region to 360 villages. All the districts produce grapes of different types and quality. This enhances the quality of the various Champagne houses and help them to maintain their own taste and style. There are three main types of grapes cultivated in the Champagne region, namely - Pinot Noir (found in Aube, Montagne and Reims region), Chardonnay (Cote des Blancs region) and Pinot Meunier (Vallee de la Marne region).

In 1942, the CIVC (Comité Interprofessionnel du Vin de Champagne) was formed. Its main objective was to protect the equality and the reputation of the Champagne. It worked as a market force and later decided the rules and regulations for the vineyard owners. Only Champagne region has the permission to avoid AOC, term of origin (Appellation d’origine contrôlée) from the label of the wine bottle.

From ancient times Champagne was popular among the rich people around the world, as a celebration drink. Now it is seen in various sports championships and other celebratory occasions like royal weddings; average people also use it on very special occasions like weddings and birthdays. So the demand of champagne is increasing day by day. Though sparkling wine is totally manipulating the trade market of the Champagne region, the other types like - non-sparkling still wines (Bouzy and Coteaux Champenois), rosé (in the region Rosé des Riceys), 'vin de liqueur' called as Ratafia de Champagne are produced here. The Pomace, which is a bi-product of the Champagne, is also produced here but it technically can't compete with the standards of champagne.

Since white wine is in huge demand as it makes more profit, the vineyard owners seem to concentrate more on it. So, on your next visit to France, don't forget to reserve some days for this beautiful birthplace of your favorite champagne! (Rutuja Jathar - buzzle)

Another with Soto Tangkar derived from Betawi. In ancient times, the Betawi people hard to buy meat. As a result dipakailah cow bones to outsmart it. However, Soto Tangkar slowly starting to change according to changes in society. Of meat that is only attached to the bones become many modifications made flesh intact, lungs, tripe, beef liver.

Presentation of each Soto also has a different way. Soto served with various toppings, such as chicken eggs, chicken meat, beef, buffalo meat. Equipped with glass noodles, bean sprouts, crackers, meatball, melinjo chips. Also incomplete without a sauce and soy sauce.
