Put Down The Prosecco, We’re Not Done Yet

Through the lens of rural and wine tourism, this study focuses on the Italian model of agriturismo (agritourism), a kind of bed-and-breakfast with restaurant located on a farm. I analyse agriturismo as a micro-niche of the rural tourism macro-niche, trying to understand how this model fits within the main features of niche tourism, such as the focus on sustainable practices and product diversification. I centred on the Prosecco Route, in the Italian Veneto region, famous for the production of the Prosecco wine and recently inscribed in the UNESCO list of cultural landscapes. I conducted textual analysis of online promotional material of 21 agriturismo located along the Prosecco Route. My goal was to understand how agriturismo transmit the cultural heritage-related values of this cultural landscape to tourists. On the one hand, I examined the role of nature and farm labour in building tourists' experiences. On the other hand, I analysed the relationship between agriturismo and the cultural context where they are located. My findings show that agriturismo's goal is to transmit to tourists the importance of traditional interactions between humans and their natural environment.

The vineyards would do a great job of talking me through the tastings. I just needed a sober adult to wheel me from one way place to the next. Point me in the direction of snacks. “Can I hire a driver for a few hours? ” I asked the concierge in my hotel. Of course, was the answer. The hotel had a local driver who would take me. My party of fellow travellers to the wineries along the Prosecco Road for only €50 an hour. “How long will I need to explore? And right there, we had it. Our very own BIY Prosecco Tour for €200. Less than €70 each. And the foundations for this website were laid. I spent on Google, I only had time for a 3 hour trip that day (costing €150) and, having been back and taken another trip around Prosecco, I can confirm that 4-7 hours is a much better option.

Acute oesophageal food impaction is a common. Potentially life-threatening condition. Effervescent agents have been used to manage these patients. To date, there have not been any studies comparing the differences in commercially available beverages in relieving food bolus impaction. The aim of this study was to design an in vitro system where the pressure changes generated by different commercially available beverages could be compared in the presence of different food items. A closed in vitro system was designed using a flask and manometer. Comparing the different food items, the potato appeared to cause the greatest increases in pressure over most time points with all beverages except Coca-Cola® and water. Between the beverages, the lemonade and Prosecco seemed to generate the greatest pressure changes; lemonade generating higher (but non-significant) pressures than the Prosecco with the potato and control. Our study demonstrates that, in vitro, amongst the beverages, lemonade and Prosecco generated the greatest increases in pressure, whilst potatoes generated a greater reaction than the other food items. These findings need to be studied in further detail and, if deemed clinically relevant, may prompt further investigation for their use in the clinical setting.

The effects of fungicides containing mancozeb or copper oxychloride, as principal active ingredients, on phytoseiid mites were investigated in a vineyard comprising four varieties (Prosecco, Cabernet Franc, Pinot gris and Merlot) and located in north-eastern Italy. Phytoseiid colonisation was different among the four varieties: Amblyseius andersoni and Kampimodromus aberrans were dominant on Pinot gris and Merlot, respectively, while Typhlodromus pyri was more common than the above species on Prosecco and Cabernet Franc. Applications of mancozeb fungicides significantly affected K. aberrans populations. Concerning T. pyri, a significant effect was observed on Cabernet but not on Prosecco. The effects of mancozeb fungicides on A. andersoni were less clear. The response of phytoseiids to fungicides containing mancozeb appeared to be mediated by the variety. Therefore, the choice of one or two varieties as a standard reference for field tests is recommended. These results also suggest that the side effects of fungicides on predatory mites should be studied on different phytoseiid species and, possibly, on susceptible and resistant strains in order to gain useful insights.

Why does Champagne cost so much more? The quick answer is simple: wine can only be called Champagne when it originates from the Champagne region in France. Prosecco is from Italy. But there’s more than just the name - this is the full story. The difference in price is partially from the production method used to make each wine. Champagne is a lot more time intensive to produce and thus, more expensive. However, there are more differences between Champagne vs Prosecco than you might think! Another factor that affects price is market demand and positioning. Wine Folly courses are the perfect gift for wine lovers and arrive right after the click. Champagne perception as a luxury commands higher prices. On the other hand, Prosecco perception as a value sparkler means it’s more affordable.
