Tip 1: What is the difference between a Georgian wine and a European wine?

Georgian wine is a famous, popular product. Many people know about its existence, even those who do not understand why it is a brand. Once in Georgia, anyone tries wine, otherwise the time spent in this country will be considered vain.

Instructions

All wines have differences. Perhaps comparing wines is a wrong occupation. In any country there are ideals. They formed for centuries, generations. First of all, Georgian wines are made from certain, their varieties of grapes. At the same time, the same variety, growing in different regions of the country, has its own taste, properties.

If we talk about other differences, then this istechnologies. This difference is very important or even important, because not all countries have their own technologies. Georgia has precisely those. Their difference from the European one is that grapes together with the skin and twigs are turned into porridge. They store in Kvevri (clay vessel), having buried it in the ground, up to 4 months. Then the liquid is poured and sent for further storage. This wine has a more intense taste, color and astringency. This technology is called Kakhetian.

For comparison, Europeans are berries for productionThe wines are wrung out. In extreme cases, rub with the skin, without twigs and bones. Withstand this state for not more than a week. Therefore, in European wines there is less content of useful polyphenols.

There is an Imeritin technology, it represents something between the European and the Kakhetian.

In the northern part of Georgia,natural semi-sweet wines. Grapes are removed during a period of high sugar content. Fermentation takes place at low plus temperatures. This wine gets carbon dioxide, but it's not champagne.

Another difference between European and Georgian wines- rules for the use of grapes. In Georgia, preparing wine, mix different grapes, and its varieties around 520. No country in the world has so many varieties of vineyard. In Europe, however, they believe that a certain grade should be used, this is a good tone for them.

In conclusion, an interesting fact: The word "wine" sounds almost identical in all languages. At the same time, there is a bold opinion that this word itself came from Georgia, from the first winemakers. And it happened many thousands of years ago, when the first cultivated forms of the vine appeared. And yet - the Georgian alphabet is very similar to a grapevine.

Tip 2: How to Celebrate the Transfer of the Image of the Lord Jesus Christ

August 16 is a special date for the Orthodox. It was on this day, in 944, that the Image of Jesus Christ was transferred from Odessa to Constantinople.

Bread, Canvas, Nut ... This holidaymany names. But for the Orthodox, this day is noteworthy because on August 16 (according to the old style - August 29) one of the main holidays is celebrated. And not by chance. In 994 there was a historical transfer of the icon of Jesus Christ to Constantinople. According to one of the biblical legends, the reigning king at the time of the Savior in Edessa, King Avgar, a leper, believed in the Lord and turned to the Master for healing. As a payment for the service, the king instructed the court painter Anania to paint a portrait of the Savior. Ananias went to Jerusalem, but could not approach Jesus, surrounded by people. Then he went up to the nearest hill and set to work. But no matter how much the painter tried, he did not succeed. Soon the Lord himself called Ananias, listened and promised to send his disciple to his ruler. And then he asked that they bring him water and a towel (ubrus). After washing, the Lord wiped his face with the uber-relief on which His Divine countenance was imprinted. This canvas with the Holy Image of Christ, together with the letter Ananias carried to his lord. And only he put on his face ubrus, as from the disease there is almost no trace. Healing canvas with the Savior's face and the words "Christ the Christ, everyone who trusts in You, will not be ashamed" Avgar, who was baptized, installed above the city gate. Thus, the ruler gave all his inhabitants the opportunity to turn to God. In 944 Konstantin Porphyrogenitus, who bought the holy face of Christ, transferred with great honors the image of the Savior and the letter that the Teacher addressed to Avgar, to Constantinople, the capital of Orthodoxy. The Ubrus with the Image of the Holy Face was placed in the Faroese Church of the Blessed Virgin. There are several legends about the further "travels" of the holy canvas. According to one of them the Holy Face was abducted by the Crusaders in the 13th century. Another legend says that the canvas with the face of Christ around 1362 was transferred to Genoa. It is also known that the Image was printed several times, leaving its exact copies. One of them remained "on ceramics", when Ananias returned to Edessa, the other was on a raincoat and got to Georgia. In honor of the holy image of the Savior in Pskov there is a temple in the name of the Not-made Image of the Lord Jesus Christ. However, the Feast of the Transference is celebrated in all Orthodox churches. It coincides with the rank of the Shroud Burial. On this day in all the holy monasteries, festive services, prayer services and the consecration of nuts are held, as the celebration takes place at the Assumption, or the third (Nut) Savior. And the icon of the Holy Face of Jesus Christ in the Orthodox world is considered the most widespread.
