USA wines

American wine has been produced for over 300 years. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 89 percent of all US wine. The United States is the fourth largest wine producing country in the world after France, Italy, and Spain.
The North American continent is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, Vitis vulpina, and Vitis amurensis, but it was the introduction of the European Vitis vinifera by European settlers that led to the growth of the wine making industry. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the sixth most planted country in the world after France, Italy, Spain, China and Turkey.
North America's history of wine making dates back to 1521, when invading Spaniards planted the first vines. Wines have been produced in California since late 18th century. In California the grape vines were first planted by Spanish missionaries in San Diego. The credit of founding the wine industry goes to George Calvert Young who planted the first vines in 1838 and could produce 900 litres of wine a year by 1850. By mid 19* century large number of vineyards came up owned by various people like Frank E Kellogg, Colonel Joseph B Chiles, the Thomson Brothers, John M Plachett and Judge J.H. McCord (Oak Grove).

In 1870, after the phylloxera attack grafting of vitis vinifera - the superior variety was done on Vitis riparia and vitis rupestris and vitis labrusca. Such crosses known as hybrid were immune to phylloxera - hence became popular. The American stocks were in great demand all over the world. The-Califoraia wine industry survived two scourges of phylloxera and prohibition. Although the wines were produced during prohibition but for the use by the church as "Sacramental Wine". The prohibition was repealed in 1933 and the wine industry started all over again afresh with replantation of vines with new equipment and better techniques.
The early American appellation system was based on the political boundaries of states and counties. In September 1978 the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (now Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) developed regulations to establish American Viticultural Areas (AVA) based on distinct climate and geographical features. In June 1980, the Augusta AVA in Missouri was established as the first American Viticultural Area under the new appellation system. For the sake of wine labeling purposes, all the states and county appellations were grandfathered in as appellations. There were 187 distinct AVAs designated under U.S. law as of April 2007.
Appellation labeling laws

In order to have an AVA appear on a wine label, at least 85% of the grapes used to produce the wine must be grown in the AVA.
Current U.S. laws allow American made wines to be labeled as "American Burgundy" or "California champagne", even though these names are restricted in Europe. U.S. laws only restrict usage to include the qualifying area of origin to go with these semi-generic names. Other semi-generic names in the United States include Claret, Chablis, Chianti, Madeira, Malaga, Marsala, Moselle, Port, Rhine wine, Sauternes (commonly spelled on U.S. wine labels as Sauterne or Haut Sauterne), Sherry and Tokay. European Union officials have been working with their U.S. counterparts through World Trade Organization negotiations to eliminate the use of these semi-generic names.[16]
Fighting varietals is a term that originated in California during the mid 1980s to refer to any inexpensive cork-finished varietal wine in a 1.5 liter bottle. Fighting varietals have largely replaced the jug wines that were often labeled with semi-generic names. Consumer demand for varietals has essentially dried up the market for semi-generic wines. The exception is very inexpensive sparkling wines that are sometimes labeled "California champagne."
AMERICAN WINE LABEL

CLASSIFICATION OF AMERICAN WINES

1.Generic Wines : Generic wines are those wines which are named after the long established European areas. Many North American and Australian wines are labeled as Claret, Burgundy, Chablis, Sauternes, Graves, Hock and even Champagne. The system of naming wines after European areas started in 1933, when they tried to copy European wines. However, they do not have very little and sometimes no resemblance to their European counterparts.
2.Varietal Wines : These are the wines of North America, which are labelled after the main grape variety in the bottle. Single grape variety is used for making wine. What makes California wines (and Australian wines) so user friendly today is the way the producers have marketed
the varietal concept of using only one type of grape in wine and stating this firmly and clearly on the label.
Best known examples are - Zinfandel, Grenache, Cabernet-Red; Sultana, Sauvignon Vert, Chardonnay-white.
The top quality California's varietal wines are comparable with French AOC wines.
3.Proprietary wines: these are the best wines of California, most famous being Robert Mondavi.
AVAs (Approved Viticultural Areas of United States): The closest California has come to any classification system is AVA now referred as American Viticulture Area. This system is enforced by a body called BATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms). Labelling Laws
"Estate bottled" means 100% of the grapes have come from a single AVA, from estate's own vineyard
"Produced and bottled by" it means 75% of the wine is from winery, rest 25% is a purchased wine.
"Made and bottled by" it means 10-74% of the wine is from winery, rest is purchased.
"Perfected and bottled by" - it means that bottler has not made the wine but it is purchased and Wended.
Wines carrying a region, state or country appellation must contain a minimum of 75% of grapes Tom that state or country.
If year of vintage is to be stated, the wine must contain 95 percent of grapes from that year. The producers must belong to an association of Meritage Producers.

WINE REGIONS

California : Huge amounts of wines are produced in California, majority being "Jug Wine" from the hot central valley. California top wines are produced by smaller "boutique Wineries"

A. North Coast Area: It is divided into following counties.

(i) Mendocino County: Anderson Valley is the coolest region, most suitable for growing vine.
Louis Roederer produce sparkling wine by "methode champenoise" using Chardonnay and
Pinot Noir grape variety. Cabernet wine is produced in Redwood valley by Fetzer.
(ii) Sonoma County : Sonoma has a wide variation of climate and therefore produces many styles of wines some of the top wines of this county are
Wines from wineries like Simi
White wines of Chateau St. Jean
Cabernet wine of Chalk Hill
Sparkling wine of Iron Horse
(iii) Napa Valley : Due to different microclimates there are wide range of wines from this place. The vineyards are located on hillside and narrow valley floor. Robert Mondavi tireless great man of this region has been responsible for broadcasting and spreading the gospel of Californian wine.

B. The Central and South Central Coast       

The most important areas include Monterey, Chalone, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, Edna Valley and Santa Ynez Valley. Some very good wines of this region are:

I) Spicy red Alicante Bouschet by Angelo Papagni
ii) Sweet Muscat called Essensia by Quady.

D. The Pacific North West

(i) Oregon : It is one of upcoming state in the wine industry. Unlike California wines which ate often too high in alcohol and low in acidity, Oregon wines have the acidity necessary for a great wine. Oregon has much cooler climate than California. The grape varieties used are Pinot Noir, GewUrztraminer, Pinot Oris, Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc, Riesling. It is Pinot Noir that really put Oregon on the quality wine map. The AVAs of Oregon are
Williamette Valley
Columbia Valley
Umpqua Valley
Eyrie vineyards producing good chardonnays
(ii) Washington State: It depends on irrigation from Columbia river. The vineyards are located to the east of Cascade mountains in Columbia basin. The various grape varieties grown in mis region are Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chenin Blanc, Riesling and Chardonnay, The grapes are rich in sugar content and have high acid due to climate being hot during the days and cold nights. The AVA's of this region are :
Walla Walla Valley
Yakima Valley
Columbia Valley being common for Oregon and Washington State.
(iii) Idaho: It is the smallest of north-west vineyards. The vineyards are situated at high altitude. The climate is continental i.e. hot summer and very cold winter. The wines which have gained popularity are Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Riesling.
(iv) New York State : The climate of Finger Lakes region of New York state in the east of USA is similar to that of Germany, with hard cold winters and a short hot summer season. The specks of vine planted is Vitis Riparia. It is known for its indigenous (native) wines.

Australia in terms of wine making is pretty young and new in the field. Captain Arthur Philip, first Governor of New South Wales, in 1788 planted the first vines. He took help of French prisoners of war whom he brought from England. They had fair amount of knowledge of wine making. Australia viticulture owes most to James Busby, a teacher in an orphanage. He collected 20,000 cuttings of 678 varieties of vine in 1834 and planted the same in Victoria, near Melbourne and in South Australia.
The revolution in quality terms has been immense. Australia can now boast of world's most talented and knowledgeable wine makers.
Australia's best wines are named after the grape they are made from, known as varietal wines.
Many of wines are known by generic names like Hock, Claret, Burgundy etc.
1.    Dry white - Chardonnay, Rhine Riesling, Muscat, Chenin blanc, Semi lion, Gewurztraminer, Sauvignon blanc.
2.    Sweet White- Muscat, Riesling
3.    Red - Cabernet Sauvignon, PinotNoir, Merlot, Shiraz, Malbec.

Australia has warm climate therefore the grapes have high sugar content. The rainfall is approaximately 20-25 inches a year. Heavy wines are produced by vineyards which are in warmer low altitude areas. Fortified wines and full bodied wines of burgundy style are produced in Corawa and Albury where summers are hot and low rainfall. Rich dessert wines are produced in Victoria.

The vintage takes place in Australia in the end of February i.e. in march and April. The method of viticulture and vinification are the most modern in the world.

Australia is made up of seven states: Western Australia, south Australia, new south Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, northern territory and Queensland. The latter two states are too northerly for wine making. 

WINE LAWS

PFDR (Pure Food and Drug Regulation) is the governing body for regulating the Production of wines. Federal government custom officers from the excise department maintain vigil over wine production.

WINE REGIONS

I South Australia - It produces more than 50 percent of all the wine produced in Australia. The growing areas range from enormous (river land), to medium size (Barossa - Eden, Adelaide hills, southern vales and Langhorne creek),to small(Adelaide plains, Clare valley, Water vale, Connawarra and padthaway)
(a) River land: produces everyday wine. Muscat and Shiraz are most popular.
(b) The Adelaide Plains: This region produces Australia's most famous wine, Max Schubert's Grange Hermitage from Penholds.

New Zealand comprises two islands — North Island and South Island. The North Island is on the same latitude as Tasmania, The most quality producers are based in North Island as wine industry was founded there. Most producers are based around Auckland area. The North Island climate is warmer and wetter than South Island. The North Island producers buy their grapes from important vineyard areas of Hawkes Bay and Gisborne, Bay of Plenty and Kumeu.
The South Island has cooler climate with lower rainfall. The South Island is also home to many producers too famous one being Cooks (owned by Corbans), one ofNewZealand first wine exporters. In South Island Vineyards are sited in Marlborough, Nelson, Canterbury and Central Otago.
Vines were first introduced and planted in the year 1819 at Kerikeri in the Bay of Islands but it is not certain whether or not wine was made from them. Australia's wine Industry founder James Busby planted vineyard in 1832 from which wine was produced.
Until recently New Zealand was famous for its lamb and kiwi fruitThe 1980 marked the renaissance of New Zealand wine industry. NewZealand is famous for its white wine Sauvignon Blanc which is comparable to French Sancerre and Pouilly Fume. The quality wines are being produced in New Zealand by two major companies i.e. Montana and Corbans.

Climate and soil


Wine regions are mostly located in free draining alluvial valleys (Hawke's Bay, Martinborough, Nelson, the Wairau and Awatere valleys of Marlborough, and Canterbury) with notable exceptions (Waiheke Island, Kawarau Gorge in Central Otago). The alluvial deposits are typically the local sandstone called greywacke, which makes up much of the mountainous spine of New Zealand.

Sometimes the alluvial nature of the soil is important, as in Hawke's Bay where the deposits known as the Gimblett Gravels represent such quality characteristics that they are often mentioned on the wine label. The Gimblett Gravels is an area of former river bed with very stoney soils. The effect of the stones is to lower fertility, lower the water table, and act as a heat store that tempers the cool sea breezes that Hawke's Bay experiences. This creates a significantly warmer meso-climate.

Another soil type is represented in Waipara, Canterbury. Here there are the Omihi Hills which are part of the Torlesse group of limestone deposits. Viticulturalists have planted Pinot Noir here due to French experience of the affinity between the grape type and the chalky soil on the Côte-d'Or. Even the greywacke alluvial soils in the Waipara valley floor has a higher calcium carbonate concentration as can be witnessed from the milky water that flows in the Waipara River.

The wine regions in New Zealand stretch from latitudes 36°S in the north (Northland) (comparable in latitude to Jerez, Spain), to 45°S (Central Otago) in the south (comparable in latitude to Bordeaux, France). The climate in New Zealand is maritime, meaning that the sea moderates the weather producing cooler summers and milder winters than would be expected at similar latitudes in Europe and North America. Maritime climates tend also to demonstrate higher variability with cold snaps possible at any time of the year and warm periods even in the depth of winter. The climate is typically wetter, but wine regions have developed in rain shadows and in the east, on the opposite coast from the prevailing moisture-laden wind. The wine regions of New Zealand tend to experience cool nights even in the hottest of summers. The effect of consistently cool nights is to produce fruit which is nearly always high in acidity.

CHILE (SOUTH AMERICA)

South America's best two wine producing nations are Chile and Argentina. Chile is a long Ribbon like country in South America running East to West between Andes and the Pacific ocean and Atacama desert to the north. The natural barriers is the reason why Chile has never been attacked by phylloxera, sines in Chile have much longer life span than anywhere else. The present vines therefore can be called pre-Phylloxera stock, lineal descendants of the great continental vines. The vines variety brought from Europe planted in Chile were Merlot, Cabernet sauvignon, Sauvignon blanc, Riesling, Semilion, Ptnot noir and were planted in volcanic soil.

SOUTH AFRICA

A complete range of wines are produced in South Africa. South African wines embrace a variety similar to that of Australia, but with this difference; South Africa excels more in sherries and white wines of hock style, whereas Australia is eminent in the production of port types and burgundies. The vineyards are situated in the south-western cape and along the Orange river further to the north.
South Africa has a long history of wine making. The colony's founder Jan Van Riebeeck planted the first vines in 1652. He was the surgeon on board on a Dutch ship.

GRAPE VARIETIES

For white wine
a)    Chenin Blanc- used for making white wine. -   used for making botrytis sweet wines – best one — Nederberg's world famous Paarl Edelkeur.

b)    Cabernet Sauvignon: sold as varietal or blended with merlot.
c)    Syrah: locally known as shiraz.
The vintage takes place in April or May. All new vines planted are grafted on American root-stock as order to prevent phylloxera. Fine quality sparkling wines are made by the "cuve close tank method, A famous liqueur Van der hum (meaning what is his name) is made from tangerines. South African Sherries from dry to sweet are made as Spanish Sherries.
KWV (Ko-Operaticve Wijabouwers Vereniging) or the South African farmer's association) was founded in 1918 and is responsible for 90 percent of all wine production in South Africa. KWV is encouraging and promoting planting of French vines like Chenin blanc known as steen in South Africa and also advising on production techniques and marketing, KWV completely controls production, marketing and sale of surplus wine
The wine of origin system (W.O.) seal is put on the bottle neck of wine which are certified by south African wine and spirit board.

CHINA

In Chinese the word for alcohol "jiu" is used to mean all types of alcoholic beverages, from 'pijiu' (beer) to liquors (just called 'jiu') to grape wine ('putao jiu'). The same character is used in Japanese and Korean, for that matter. This lumping together of all intoxicating beverages gives us great insight into the traditional use for alcohol, intoxication. Even in modern China alcoholic beverages are generally classed by the general population by how much intoxication it delivers for the money. From this point of view table wine is at the bottom rung of the consumer preference list, with brandy being much higher.

History Of Chinese Wine

In China, wine could also be called the "Water of History" because stories about wine can be found in almost every period of China's long story. The origins of the alcoholic beverage from fermented grain in China cannot be traced definitively. It is believed to have 4,000 years history. A legend said that Yidi, the wife of the first dynasty's king Yu (about 2100 BC) invented the method. At that time millet was the main grain, the so-called "yellow wine", then rice became more popular. It was not until the 19th century that distilled drinks become more popular. Traditionally, Chinese distilled liquors are consumed together with food rather than drunk on their own. Although China has a 6,000 year history in grape growing, and a 4,000 year history in wine making, it was not until this century that Chinese wine was recognized in the West.

Chinese Wine General Classification

Chinese wines can be generally classified into two types, namely yellow liquors (huangjiu) or clear (white) liquors (baijiu). Chinese yellow liquors, are fermented wines that are brewed directly from grains such as rice or wheat. Such liquors contain less than 20% alcohol, due to the inhibition of fermentation by ethanol at this concentration. These wine are traditionally pasteurized, aged, and filtered before their final bottling for sale to consumers. Yellow liquors can also be distilled to produce white liquors, or baijiu (see below). White liquors (baijiu) are also commonly called shaojiu, which means "hot liquor" or "burned liquor", either because of the burning sensation in the mouth during consumption, the fact that they are usually warmed before being consumed, or because of the heating required for distillation. Liquors of this type typically contain more than 30% alcohol in volume since they have undergone distillation. There are a great many varieties of distilled liquors, both unflavored and flavored.
China (including Hong Kong) is among the top ten global markets for wine consumption. The market has traditionally been dominated by beer, but beginning in the 1980s, connections have been made to the international wine market, specifically to France, and the taste of Chinese drinkers has begun to change. Over the next few decades, the country’s standing as a wine consumer is expected to rise.

Just about 60 years back there was nothing worthy about Indian grapes, what to talk about Indian wines. A lot of raisins and grapes were imported from Afghanistan in India. There was a notion that grapes can only grow in extreme cold climates has now been proved wrong. There is a riot of variety and succulent sweet grapes available in abundance in India. The wine making is still in its infancy. Indian wines have a great future because most of the grapes are of seedless variety. Surprisingly they have high sugar content.

Indian white wines of medium dry variety are quite interesting and can be compared with International standards of standard quality wines, but red wines are yet to prove their worthiness.
Most of wine producing areas are near foothills of Vindhyachal or Deccan plateau like Andhra radesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Goa.

Indian Wine Regions


a.    Champhai
The Champhai wine region is located in Mizoram, the most southerly of the Seven Sister States of eastern India.  The state occupies a mountainous region with a semi-tropical to temperate climate – cooler regions being those with the highest elevation.  A variety of crops are grown, including bamboo and oil palm as well as fruits and vegetables.

Grape growing is most prevalent in the eastern part of the state, centered on the towns of Champhai and Hnahlan located less than 10 km from the border with Myanmar.  Grapes were sold as table grapes or as juice until the repeal in 2010 of the  Liquor Total Prohibition Act.

The Champhai and Hnahlan Grape Winery Ltd was established in 2007 and is the only winery in the region.  They have a production unit in Champhai and another in Hnahlan.

These production units only became operational in 2010 after the Mizoram Government had revised the Liquor Total Prohibition Act 1997.  Prior to the revision of the 1997 Act, grapes were being sold as table fruit or pressed for juice.  The winery is operated under Government of Mizoram supervision and under current regulations production must be consumed in Mizoram.

The first wine was released in September 2010 with the name Zawlaidi, which translates as “love potion”.  It’s described on the label as “Red Port Wine”.  One suspects that this might be due to the grapes having only low sugar content when harvested and hence only being capable of producing a low-alcohol wine when fermented.  Distilled neutral alcohol has been added to boost the overall abv to 14%.

b.    Goa
Located west of the Deccan Plateau, Goa is a predominantly low-altitude coastal state, though towards the east it climbs in the Western Ghats to a maximum of 1,167m.  Ruled by Portuguese settlers from 1510 – 1961, the colonists brought with them a love of wine and they set about growing grapes despite the unpromising climate.  They specialized in port-like fortified wines using Vitis labrusca varieties such as Bangalore Blue.  Such production still continues.

c.    Kashmir Valley
The Kashmir valley is an intermontane basin situated in the western Himalayas.  It trends northwest to southeast with a length of 150km and a width of 40km.  Surrounded on all sides by snow-clad mountains, it has a flat alluvial floor with an average height of 1850m above sea level.
Rice, trees and fruit are abundant and although table grapes are grown, no wine is currently produced.

d.    Nandi Hills

The Nandi Hills Wine Region Just 45 km north of Bangalore, lies the Nandi Hills, which in the 18th century hosted the summer palace of Tipu Sultan and during the 19th century became a summer retreat for officials of the British Raj.  The latest wave of visitors seeking to benefit from a cooler climate in southern India are viticulturalists.  They are keen to find sites where wine grape varieties can ripen slowly and fully develop their constituent fruit flavours without becoming baked.

Leading the search has been Kanwal Grover who founded Grover Vineyards in 1988.  They have some 160ha of French varietals and have produced some of India’s best wines to date.  Other growers have started to exploit the region’s natural attributes and we can expect to see expect to see more growers and winemakers moving into this region in the future.

e. Deccan Plateu
This is the powerhouse for the current production of Indian wines, and can be conveniently divided into three sub-regions.

The northern part is centred on the town of Nashik (or Nasik), and is where most of the new wineries have established themselves. This trend has been fostered by the creation of the Nashik Wine Park which offers small producers the ability to share facilities as well as receive a number of tax and duty reliefs.  The major producer in the north is Sula Wines.

The central sub-region extends from Narayangaon through Pune to Baramati and is home to two important wine producers – Chateau Indage and Four Seasons Wines.

The southern sub-region spans parts of Maharashtra and Karnataka with wine production being centred around Sangli and Bijapur.  The Krishna Valley Wine Park has been established near Sangli, along similar lines to the Nashik Wine Park, in an effort to assist and encourage smaller producers.

corkscrew

Early wine was stored first in terracotta amphoras and later in wooden barrels. Wine was never aged; it was briefly stored or transported and served before it had a chance to spoil. Wine glasses and decanters first appeared in Venice around the 12th century, used only for serving the wine.
Glass-blowing technology improved and in the early 18th century glass wine bottles with small bottlenecks made airtight wine storage possible. Wine could now be safely aged.
The English were the first to seal wine bottles, using cork imported from Spain or Portugal. Cork comes from the wood of the Quercus Suber or cork tree, a species of Oak native to Spain. Obviously, corkscrews were invented as an easy way of removing the cork from a bottle.
However, wine bottles were not the first bottles to be corked. Bottle tops and cans did not become common until after W.W.II. Before that time and before wine was ever corked, all kinds of substances were often stored in corked containers: beer, medicine, cosmetics and food. Many of these corked items required small corkscrews.
Who invented the first corkscrew? Corkscrew historian Ron McLean from the "The Virtual Corkscrew Museum" had this to say:
"It is unknown when and who made the first corkscrew. The first corkscrews were derived from a gun worme, a tool with a single or double spiral end fitting used to clean musket barrels or to extract an unspent charge from the barrel. By the early 17th century corkscrews for removing corks were made by blacksmiths as using a cork to stopper a bottle was well established."
Corkscrew inventors were inspired by a tool called the bulletscrew or gun worm, a device that extracted stuck bullets from rifles. McLean lists the following corkscrew patents gathered from his research as being firsts in several respective countries.
•  England: Patent No 2061 granted to Samuel Henshall, Princes Street, Parish of Christchurch, Middlesex, on August 24, 1795.
•  France: Patent No. 3571 granted to Francois Rever on February 23, 1828.
•  U. S. A.: Patent No. 27,615 (see above) granted to M.L. Byrn of New York, N.Y. for a corkscrew on March 27, 1860. However, a much earlier patent No. 15,325 (see below) was granted on July 15, 1856 to George Blanchard of New York, N.Y. for a metallic tube nutmeg grater as the handle of a corkscrew. The patent illustration shows the tubular nutmeg grater as the handle of a wire helix corkscrew with the patent description mentioning the corkscrew connection three times.
•  Germany: Patent No 16 granted to Benjamin Loew of Tilsit on July 3, 1877.
•  Canada: Patent No.16,163 granted to William Addison of Hamilton, Ontario on January 23, 1883.


The patent drawing above illustrates a nutmeg grater and corkscrew combination tool.





Waiter's Corkscrew - Single Lever Corkscrews

German Carl Wienke invented a single lever waiter's type corkscrew called the 'Butler's Friend'. Wienke was granted a German patent (Lever Corkscrew Patent DRP 20815) on May 26, 1882. He was granted a British patent (Improvement in Lever Corkscrews No. 2,022) on April 20, 1883 and a French patent (No. 155314) on May 7, 1883.
The patent drawing on the right illustrates Wienke's American patent (No. 283,731) granted on August 21, 1883. Wienke's corkscrew design is still in common use today. The corkscrew was nicknamed the 'Waiter's Friend' or 'Butler's Friend' because it could easily remove and easily replace a cork.

Double Winged Lever Corkscrews

The double winged lever design is another common corkscrew design found in households today. The first double lever can be traced to H.S. Heeley, who was granted a British patent (No. 6,006) on April 23, 1888. Heeley's corkscrew was called the A1 Heeley Double Lever; it used pivoting links to "gain an improvement in mechanical advantage to pull a cork".
The first double winged lever patented in North America was created by the Italian designer, Dominick Rosati (see illustration below). Rosati was granted a U.S. patent (No. 1,753,026) on April 1, 1930 and a Canadian patent (No. 306,030) on November 25, 1930.

The Walker Bell

The Walker Bell corkscrew was patented in 1893 by Edwin Walker, an American designer. A simple self-pulling corkscrew that incorporated a bell shape, the Walker Bell was often used for promotional messages. The bell shape rested on the bottle top and as the corkscrew was turned the cork was pulled inside the bell. Edwin Walker's first bells were manufactured by E.S.M. Co. of Erie, Pennsylvania in the early 1890's. Walker also patented a method for making corkscrews in 1912.
The patent drawings to the left and below illustrates a Walker design for a combination corkscrew/bottle opener. (U.S. Pat No. 647775 - granted on April 17, 1900)

Sideboards

$

0
The other names used for a sideboard are  work station or service console or service station or dummy waiter

 The style and design of  a sideboard varies from establishment to establishment and is dependent upon:
  • the style of service and the food and beverage on offer
  • the number of service staff working from on sideboard
  • the number of tables to be served from on sideboard
  • the amount of equipment it is expected to hold.
It is essential that the sideboard is of minimum size and portable so that it may be esasily moved if necessary.


If the sideboard is too large for its purpose it is then taking up spacee which could be used to seat more customers.

The top should be of a heat resistant material which can be easily washed down.

If a hotplate is to be used then it should be inserted in the top so it is level with the working top.

After service the sideboard is either completely emptied out or restocked for the next service.

The material used in the makeup of the sideboard should blend with the rest of the decor and theme.

The actual lay up of sideboard depends firstly on its construction
-the number of shelves and drawers for tableware, etc
-and, on the type of menu and service offered.
therefore the lay-up in every establishment could vary slightly, each being suited to its own needs and style of service and presentation.

It is suggested, however, that in each particular establishment the sideboard be laid up in the same fashion.
if this is done the staff get used looking for a certain item in a certain place and this facilitates speedy service which is essential.
