"Wist jij dat rosé ontstaat door het inweken van blauwe schillen en niet door rode en witte wijn met elkaar te mengen?"
WIJN WEETJES VAN JACQUELINE
Huidige Wijnbouw: Huidige wijnbouw shout-out naar Franse monniken: zij waren de eersten die snappen dat terroir (de plek!) cruciaal is én ze schreven de beste wijnmaaktips op.
WIJN WEETJES VAN JACQUELINE
Oogst Verschil: Wijn uit de New World (Australië, etc.) is bij hetzelfde jaartal altijd een half jaar ouder, omdat de oogst daar pas in het voorjaar valt – mind-blown!

Oudste Wijnstokken: De Barossa Valley in Australië rockt al sinds de jaren 1840 met de oudste, nog levende Shiraz-wijnstokken ter wereld – praat over vintage!

Oudste Wijn: De allereerste gefermenteerde drank (9000 v.Chr.) komt uit China, maar de geboorteplaats van pure druivenwijn (6000 v.Chr.) is Georgië.
WIJN WEETJES VAN JACQUELINE
Witte Wijn van Blauwe Druif: Witte wijn kan gewoon van een blauwe druif gemaakt worden, zolang je het sap maar super snel van de schillen scheidt – say what?!
WIJN WEETJES VAN JACQUELINE
Wijn in Vliegtuig: Zelfs de beste wijnen smaken anders up in the air, want de lage luchtdruk en droge lucht resetten je smaak compleet.
WIJN WEETJES VAN JACQUELINE
Champagne Bubbels: De sparkle in Champagne is het resultaat van een tweede gisting, die heel fancy en natuurlijk direct in de fles plaatsvindt.
WIJN WEETJES VAN JACQUELINE
Eikenhoutsmaak: Een zware houtsmaak in je wijn komt van nieuwe eikenhouten vaten, niet van de druif – de wijn heeft daar gewoon even gechilled.
