Выдержано под водой
Это делают все: греки, калифорнийцы, испанцы и французские шампанисты, которым до моря, вроде, не близко. Глянем на три интересных хозяйства, выдерживающих вина не там, где мы привыкли:
1. Gaia, вино Thalassitis, Санторини, Греция. Не все брачующиеся, приезжающие на Санторини ради фотки в белом среди голубого, в курсе, что здесь делают первоклассные вулканические вина. Хозяйство Gaia (“Гейя”) выдерживает на глубине моря вино из сорта ассиртико.
2. Leclerc Briant, Cuvée Abyss, Brut Zéro, Шампань, Франция. Это вино погружается в соль моря на один год. Помимо вышеназванного дома, за экспериментами замечены M.Hostomme, Louis Roederer, Veuve Clicquot и другие дома.
3. Bisson, вино Abissi (не удивительно, тоже “бездна”), Лигурия, Италия. Игристое вино по классическому методу лежит под водой у берегов Портофино в течение 13 месяцев.

The yo-yo is a toy made of two disks connected by an axle with a string. When dropped, the string unwinds and rewinds, making the yo-yo return to the hand. It dates back to ancient Greece around 500 BCE but likely started earlier in China. In the 18th century France, it was called “joujou de Normandie.” The name “yo-yo” comes from a Filipino word meaning “come-come.” 🎯🧸

#Kaliningrad
Yekaterina comes from our country’s westernmost region. She shared her impressions and observations about her beloved hometown, Kaliningrad, its monumental cathedral, its parks stunning in any season, as well as philosopher Immanuel Kant’s legacy as regards his 300th anniversary, celebrated this year.
#FunFacts
📚 Famous philosopher Immanuel Kant was born and bred in Kaliningrad (then Königsberg). He had a direct bond with Russia as a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and he was also a subject of the Russian Empire. A prominent philosopher, he was buried in the city’s historical center, which came to be known as Kant Island. On April 22-24, the city hosted the International Kant Congress, which Foreign Ministry officials attended.
🧡 The Kaliningrad Region accounts for almost 90 percent of the world’s amber reserves. The Catherine Palace in St Petersburg used these so-called sun stones from Kaliningrad region to recreate an exact copy of the lost Amber Room. This project took 24 years and was completed in 2003, when St Petersburg marked its 300th anniversary.
⚓️ Kaliningrad hosts the Museum of the World Ocean,Russia’s one-of-a-kind museum dedicated to all of maritime science, nature and technology. Its exhibits include ships such as the Vityaz, Kosmonavt Viktor Patsayev – a space communications vessel which used to be part of the Space Service Ship Fleet, as well as the submarine B-413, the fishing boat SRT-129, lightship Irbensky, the Be-12 hydroplane and even a sperm whaleskeleton.
