Modernizing the bottle recycling program in Mass. would have big benefits, report finds
The report focuses on the so-called deposit return system (DRS) — the five cent deposit you pay when you buy a can of soda or beer, and then get back when you return it to a bottle redemption site.
SAN FRANCISCO – MARCH 2: Recycled plastic bottles are seen at the San Francisco Recycling Center March 2, 2005 in San Francisco, California. Bottled water is the single largest growth area among all beverages, more than doubling over the last decade. Only about 12 percent of plastic bottles, mostly water, were recycled in 2003, according to industry consultant R.W. Beck, Inc. Since most bottled water is consumed away from home where recycling isn’t an option, an estimated 40 million bottles a day go into the trash or become litter. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)

Abruzzo granted its own IGT
Italy’s National Wine Committee and Agricultural Ministry agreed on Friday to consolidate the central Italian region’s wines under a single IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica), Terre d’Abruzzo.
Castel del Monte in Abruzzo is a beautiful village which covers the top of a hill in the Gran Sasso mountain range. It is classified as one of the “borghi piu belli d’Italia” or “most beautiful villages of Italy”. Its architecture mostly dates to Medieval and Renaissance times. The Medicis ruled the town from 1579 for a century and a half and their legacy includes the Chiesa di San Marco with its distinctive tower. Around the town are strong defensive walls which are also houses and five defensive gates which also date to the Medici period.

France adds eight new varietals to approved wine grape lists
News filtering out through official channels in France takes a little while but the bylaw of 23 December 2021 (published on 30 December) slipped through quietly last week, establishing eight new grape varieties on the country’s official list of approved grapes for wine production (they were introduced on a temporary basis seven years ago).
Of the eight, Xarel-lo (or “Xarello” in the official French text) is probably the best-known and can now cross the border from its Catalonian home into France. The remaining seven would be quite the test of a casual ampelographer’s knowledge.
Five hail from Corsica. They are the white Brustianu (likely originating from the Ajaccio region), Rossula bianca from southern Corsica, Cualtacciu (from the Balagne region in the north, near Calvi), and Uva Biancona. Vintaghju is the sole Corsican red variety of the bunch, remarkable for the deep color of its wines.
Another officially sanctioned French native is Felen, a white grape reportedly from the Aveyron department in southern France.
Finally, Fleurtai is a white, disease-resistant, interspecific hybrid produced at the University of Udine, Italy, by crossing Friulano (also known as Tocai, Sauvignon Vert, or Sauvignonasse) with the Kozma 20-3 hybrid. Fleurtai has the same parentage as Soreli (Blanc), already adopted in France and a permitted grape in the IGP Côtes Catalanesregion.
No news yet on which IGPs or appellations will adopt the latest varieties although for many it appears drought tolerance and disease resistance is a prominent factor in their adoption.
