Um vinho pode ser descrito com características femininas ou masculinas, mas isso não significa que irá agradar mais a mulheres ou homens especificamente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Faz diferença quando quem comprar o vinho é um homem ou uma mulher ..??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Há menos cobranças nas escolhas femininas em relação a vinhos , dando mais liberdade para beberem o que quiserem, ousar e experimentar mais. Os homens tendem a decidir por vinhos que lhes pareçam mais adequados, corretos aos olhos de seu grupo, vestidos de uma seriedade escudeira.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ser engenheira, ter trabalhado com serviços em telecomunicações, trabalhar no ambiente masculino me possibilita dizer como é ser uma mulher num mundo masculino, mas não como é ser um homem neste mundo, uma comparação não seria justa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desde quando mulheres sabem comprar vinhos..??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sou uma mulher a moda antiga, dessas que admiram cavalheirismo, gentileza e respeito. Atemporal e segura nas minhas escolhas, pedir um vinho para mim é algo simples, desfrutá-lo torna-se prazeroso. Tal liberdade que a mulheres gozam em relação aos vinhos é algo realmente valioso, instransponível às barreiras masculinas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;L.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;assine o lubraz feed

claro:&lt;br /&gt;quando se é a mulher mais rica da época,&lt;br /&gt;herdeira de uma super bagagem intelectual&lt;br /&gt;e senhora de meia Europa&lt;br /&gt;não é um simples marido-rei que vai impor condições e limites na cama e no poder, né?&lt;br /&gt;Ainda menos um como Luís VII, inseguro diante da personalidade forte, independência econômica e libido desenfreada da mulher.&lt;br /&gt;Em vez de se pôr à altura da fraqueza física e moral de Leonor, Luís se acovardou,&lt;br /&gt;aceitando bem caladinho que a mulher procurasse nos braços de inúmeros amantes a compreensão e a felicidade que ele ficava assustado em dar pra alguém tão sem pudores mentais.&lt;br /&gt;Em pouco tempo e por exigência da própria Leonor, o Vaticano lhes concedeu o divórcio.&lt;br /&gt;O resto da estória pra quem não conhece, é mais interessante:&lt;br /&gt;Leonor, de 29 anos, considerada velha, casou-se com Henrique II (ainda adolescente)&lt;br /&gt;e lhe deu oito filhos - entre eles Ricardo, Coração de Leão e João Sem Terra -&lt;br /&gt;promoveu o estudo das artes e ainda favoreceu o nascimento do amor cortês&lt;br /&gt;dando uma vida fausta na corte para diversos trovadores, primeiros contadores das lendas do rei Arthur numa Europa embrutecida por analfabetos assustados com o fim do mundo.&lt;br /&gt;Foi nessa época que os vinhos produzidos na região de Bordeaux&lt;br /&gt;– principalmente na área de Graves –&lt;br /&gt;eram diferentes daqueles que vinham do “norte do país”,&lt;br /&gt;produtos mais escuros e frutados.&lt;br /&gt;Esses tinham que competir com vinhos mais leves,&lt;br /&gt;plus clair, da região de Bordeaux.&lt;br /&gt;Assim, os mercados de exportação gostavam dos vinhos plus clair,&lt;br /&gt;que se tornaram conhecidos por clairet, e os pediam.&lt;br /&gt;Mesmo quando os ingleses foram expulsos de Bordeaux,&lt;br /&gt;o comércio de vinho entre os dois países permaneceu vigoroso,&lt;br /&gt;e até 1803 o Estandarte Real Britânico apresentava a flor-de-lis da França.&lt;br /&gt;Assim, o vinho plus Clair continuou favorito dos ingleses.&lt;br /&gt;Houve tentativas de fazer com que se alinhassem com o restante do mundo&lt;br /&gt;e uma vez, alguns anos atrás, pediu-se ao então representante da Associação de Vinhos e Bebidas Alcoólicas da Grã-Bretanha que justificasse essa individualidade diante dos eruditos do Mercado Comum Europeu em Bruxelas.&lt;br /&gt;Por sorte, esse homem era não só respeitado e experiente no comércio de vinhos,&lt;br /&gt;mas também casado com uma senhora francesa:&lt;br /&gt;assim, enquanto os personagens do Mercado Comum Europeu colocavam suas questões e esperavam que fossem traduzidas para benefício do supostamente semi-educado britânico,&lt;br /&gt;o inglês podia calmamente considerar que respostas daria.&lt;br /&gt;Finalmente, quando lhe perguntaram por que deveria ser aberta uma exceção para o Reino Unido,&lt;br /&gt;ele armou a resposta cuidadosamente para dizer que nesse caso,&lt;br /&gt;sim, a exceção deveria ser aberta –&lt;br /&gt;por que a coroa britânica tinha sido proprietária daquela fatia da frança,&lt;br /&gt;que na época incluía Bordeaux, por 299 anos.&lt;br /&gt;Então, é assim que os britânicos e todo o resto do mundo de língua inglesa&lt;br /&gt;ainda chamam o Bordeaux tinto de clarete.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;(Textos extraídos do livro “Curiosidades sobre o vinho” de Pamela Vandyke Price.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;assine o lubraz feed

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:trebuchet ms;&quot;&gt;Speaking to decanter.com, Baly, who runs first growth Sauternes property Chateau Coutet with his brother Dominique, said that continued legislation against the use of chemical and toxic products was threatening productivity in the vineyard because there were no alternatives to banned pesticides and herbicides. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:trebuchet ms;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:trebuchet ms;&quot;&gt;&#39;If we decide to remove chemical and toxic products, there is nothing to replace them, so there&#39;s more loss [in the vineyard],&#39; he said. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:trebuchet ms;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:trebuchet ms;&quot;&gt;&#39;Maybe genetic modification is the answer.&#39;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:trebuchet ms;&quot;&gt;Baly said the legislation was &#39;anti-economics&#39; and that it made French winemakers &#39;marathon runners with weights tied to their feet&#39;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:trebuchet ms;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Gula&lt;br /&gt;2. Luxúria&lt;br /&gt;3. Avareza&lt;br /&gt;4. Ira&lt;br /&gt;5. Soberba&lt;br /&gt;6. Vaidade&lt;br /&gt;7. Preguiça&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Evagrius, acreditava que os piores pecados eram os que tornavam as pessoas mais egocêntricas. &lt;br /&gt;O Papa Gregório reduziu esta lista para sete itens, juntando Vaidade e Orgulho, trocou Acedia por Melancolia e acrescentou a Inveja. &lt;br /&gt;Acreditava ele, que os pecados que mais ofendiam ao amor entre os homens, eram os mais graves.&lt;br /&gt;1. Orgulho&lt;br /&gt;2. Inveja&lt;br /&gt;3. Ira&lt;br /&gt;4. Melancolia&lt;br /&gt;5. Avareza&lt;br /&gt;6. Gula&lt;br /&gt;7. Luxúria&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois disso outros teólogos mexeram na listinha, entre eles Tomás de Aquino.
