Segreti nel bicchiere: Mai Tai, Zombie e Dark’n’Stormy perché si chiamano così?

🍸 In 2024, the Zombie cocktail celebrates its 90th anniversary, and the Mai Tai turns 80. The Mai Tai, a Tiki mixology emblem, was subject to a paternity dispute between Donn Beach and Trader Vic, with Vic winning in court. The International Bartenders Association (IBA) included the Mai Tai in its official cocktail list in 1987. The Zombie, crafted by Donn Beach in 1934, is known for its three-rum blend. The Dark’n Stormy, owned by Gosling Brothers Ltd., is the only cocktail with a trademarked name, invented post-WWI by a Royal Navy sailor.

☕ Michele Monzini, Presidente of Consorzio Promozione Caffè, highlights the evolving universe of coffee and the Italian mastery in roasting.

Polvere di fiori di castagno per dire addio ai solfiti nel vino

🍷 Portuguese researchers from the University of Bragança filed a patent in 2017 for a natural derivative from male chestnut tree flowers (castanea sativa) as a wine preservative, challenging the traditional use of sulfites (SO₂). The product, named "Chestwine," found favor in 2019 with a consultant for wine producers after successful tests. Marketed by startup "Tree Flowers Solutions," Chestwine is now used in the Spanish and Portuguese markets and is undergoing testing in Bordeaux estates. Chestwine's polyphenolic richness is claimed to be at least as effective as SO₂ in inhibiting oxidation and microbial growth without being allergenic or affecting wine taste or color.
