Settlement new world Crimea history. Old World - what is it

Age limit: 18+

If you read something about wine, attended some tastings or just talked to knowledgeable people, then you have probably heard about the so-called old-world and new-world wines, as well as the fact that they have absolutely different styles. About how they differ and whether they always differ, we will talk today.

What old light?

It is customary to refer to the Old World as European countries whose population has been engaged in winemaking for many hundreds of years. First of all, these are France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Austria. None of these countries can boast of a tropical climate; moreover, in Germany, Austria, as well as in a number of places in France and Italy, the climate is very cool. But it is the climate / microclimate that largely determines the style of wine.

What is the New World?

This concept includes such countries as Chile, New Zealand, Australia, Argentina, South Africa, USA (especially the state of California). This can also include countries that are more “exotic” in terms of winemaking - for example, Brazil, whose wine is not sold in Russia, however. The climate in these countries is warm, and often even frankly hot, tropical. However, there are also exception regions: as a rule, those located in mountainous areas.

So what is the difference between New World and Old World wines?

AT in general terms it can be described like this:

For wines from the countries of the New World, a lower level of acidity is characteristic (ceteris paribus).
The New World is characterized by bright “fruitiness”.
The Old World is characterized by a large "minerality".
The Old World is characterized by more "slender", "graceful", "thin" and "elegant" wines. Sometimes epithets such as ringing and piercing wine may be appropriate, while in the case of the New World, adjectives such as lush, powerful, concentrated will be used more often. On the other hand, these epithets are also suitable for a number of great wines of the Old World.

Exceptions

There are exceptions to any rule, and in our case there can be a considerable number of exceptions. For example, some wines from South Africa and Argentina can be very similar in style to French wines - they can have quite high acidity, they can be quite restrained, subtle and elegant. Of course, these same epithets can also be applied to some wines from Chile, Australia, the USA and a number of other countries.

Pairs to study contrasts:

Chilean Pinot Noir - powerful and solid (like Montes Outer Limits) versus Burgundy, Austrian or Italian Pinot Noir.
Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley (such as Sancerre or Pouilly-Fume appellations) versus New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.
Australian Shiraz (ex. from Penfolds) versus French Syrah (for example, from the Rhone Valley - say, E.Guigal, if we are focusing on a rather high price segment).
Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon versus red Bordeaux (the differences are well understood in the case of middle segment wines - within 700 rubles).
Chilean Chardonnay versus Chablis (France) or Austrian Morillon (Morillon is a synonym for Chardonnay).

Are there any other differences?

Yes. For example, in the Old World there are more wines that are capable of very long time stored and developed in bottles. There are probably fewer such wines in the New World, and they need less time to develop and “age”.

Another difference is prices; often New World wines are cheaper than Old World wines of a similar level.

In conclusion, I would like to note that one cannot say: “New World style is worse” or “New World style is rougher”. To different people I like different wines, and it's good that now there is a huge selection of wines - for every taste. And we must not forget that the New World also has magnificent and elegant wines that bypass the level of many rivals from the Old World.

The population of the New World is about 1 thousand people. The village is located in an incredible picturesque place and rich in attractions.

origin of name

Until 1912, the village was called Paradise (translated as "paradise"). The name incredibly corresponded to the beauty of the mountain-sea landscapes and picturesque bays in these places. In 1912, Tsar Nicholas II visited the village. After that, the area was called the New World, as if with a hint of a parallel with the discovery of America by Columbus.

History of the New World

For the first time, the village of Paradise is mentioned in a Genoese treatise dated to the 13th century. Further, the history of the New World was in the general direction historical events on the Crimean peninsula. After the annexation of Crimea to Russia in 1783, B. Gallera became the first Russian owner of Paradise. In the 1820s, he sold his possessions to Princess A.S. Golitsyna, but soon she moved to Koreiz and sold the estate in Paradise to Prince Z.S. Kherkhulidzev.

1878 was a landmark year in the history of Paradise. It was then that Prince L.S. Golitsyn bought out part of the Kherkhulidzev estate with an area of 36 acres and planted vineyards here. Gradually, Lev Sergeyevich bought up plots adjacent to his. Thus, by 1912, Golitsyn's possessions in the Novy Svet amounted to more than 200 acres. More than 600 varieties of grapes were planted here, its properties were actively studied and winemaking developed.

Prince Lev Golitsyn was reputed to be quite direct, even sharp man and great original. He preferred life in the capital of Crimea, loved and was well versed in wine, had a unique collection of antiques and famous world wines. It was Prince L.S. Golitsyn who became the founder of the famous "Massandra", the first in Russia to establish the production of sparkling wines and traded them not only in Moscow and St. Petersburg, but presented them at international exhibitions. In the Novy Svet at the foot of Mount Koba-Kaya, on the orders of Golitsyn, grandiose cellars 3 versts long were built, in which the wine he created was stored.

1917 was a tragic year for the Golitsyn family. Some of their wealth was plundered, and some was confiscated by the Bolsheviks. Lev Sergeevich was already dead at that time. But the ashes of him and his wife disappeared from the family crypt. It is hoped that he was simply reburied to prevent desecration.

Today, the village is alive with winemaking traditions (there is a sparkling wine factory) and tourism.

Although it sounds somewhat paradoxical, the discovery of the New World marked the appearance of the Old. Five centuries have passed since then, but the Old World is a concept that is still being used today. What value was put into it before? What does it mean today?

Definition of the term

The Old World is that part of the land that was known to Europeans before the discovery of the American continent. The division was conditional and was based on the position of the lands relative to the sea. Merchants and travelers believed that there were three parts of the world: Europe, Asia, Africa. Europe lies in the north, Africa in the south, and Asia in the east. Subsequently, when the data on the geographical division of the continents became more accurate and complete, they found out that only Africa was a separate continent. However, the ingrained views were not so easily defeated, and all 3 continued to be traditionally mentioned separately.

Sometimes the name Afro-Eurasia is used to define the territorial array of the Old World. In fact, this is the largest continental mass - a supercontinent. It is home to approximately 85 percent of the world's population.

A period of time

When talking about the Old World, they often mean more than just a certain geographical location. These words carry information about a specific historical period, culture and the discoveries made then. It's about about the Renaissance, when ideas of natural philosophy and experimental science replaced medieval asceticism and theocentrism.

The attitude of a person to the world around him is changing. Gradually, from the toy of a whole host of gods who have the power to dispose human life according to his whims and whims, a person begins to feel like the master of his earthly home. He strives for new knowledge, which leads to a number of discoveries. Attempts are made to explain the structure of the surrounding world with the help of mechanics. Measuring devices are being improved, including navigational ones. It is already possible to trace the origin of such natural sciences, as physics, chemistry, biology and astronomy, which are replacing alchemy and astrology.

The changes that took place then gradually paved the way for the expansion of the frontiers known world. They served as a prerequisite for the discovery of new lands. Courageous travelers went to uncharted lands, and their stories inspired even more daring and risky ventures.

The historical journey of Christopher Columbus

In August 1492, three well-equipped ships under the command of Christopher Columbus set sail from the harbor of Palos for India. It was a year, but the famous discoverer himself never knew that he had discovered a continent previously unknown to Europeans. He was sincerely sure that he had made all four of his expeditions to India.

The journey from the Old World to the new lands took three months. Unfortunately, it was neither cloudless, nor romantic, nor disinterested. The admiral hardly kept the subordinate sailors from rebellion on the first voyage, and the main driving force for the discovery of new territories there was greed, a lust for power and vanity. These ancient vices, brought from the Old World, subsequently brought much suffering and grief to the inhabitants of the American continent and nearby islands.

He didn't get what he wanted either. Going on his first voyage, he prudently tried to protect himself and secure his future. He insisted on the conclusion of a formal agreement, according to which he received title of nobility, the title of admiral and viceroy of the newly discovered lands, as well as a percentage of the income received from the above lands. And although the year of the discovery of America was supposed to be a ticket to a secure future for the discoverer, after a while Columbus fell out of favor and died in poverty without receiving the promise.

The New World Appears

Meanwhile, ties between Europe and the New World grew stronger. Trade was established, the development of lands lying in the depths of the mainland began, claims were formed various countries on these lands, the era of colonization began. And with the advent of the concept of "New World", the terminology began to use the stable expression "Old World". After all, before the discovery of America, the need for this simply did not arise.

It's interesting that traditional division to the Old and New Worlds remained unchanged. At the same time, Oceania and Antarctica, unknown during the Middle Ages, are not taken into account today.

For decades, the New World has been associated with the new and a better life. The American continent was in which thousands of immigrants sought to get. But in their memory they kept their native places. The Old World is traditions, origins and roots. Prestigious education, exciting cultural journeys, historical monuments- this is still associated today with European countries, with the countries of the Old World.

Wine lists replace geographical

If in the field of geography terminology, including the division of continents into the New and Old Worlds, this is already relatively a rare thing, then among winemakers such definitions are still at a premium. Exist set expressions: "Old World wines" and "New World wines". The difference between these drinks is not only in the place where the grapes grow and the location of the winery. They are rooted in the same differences that are characteristic of the continents.

Thus, the wines of the Old World, mostly produced in France, Italy, Spain, Germany and Austria, are distinguished by their traditional taste and delicate elegant bouquet. And the wines of the New World, which Chile, Argentina, Australia and New Zealand are famous for, are brighter, with obvious fruity notes, but somewhat losing in finesse.

Old World in the modern sense

Today, the term "Old World" is mainly applied to states located in Europe. In the vast majority of cases, neither Asia nor even Africa is taken into account. So, depending on the context, the expression "Old World" can include either as many as three parts of the world, or only European states.

Europeans traditionally attributed to the concept of the Old World two continents - Eurasia and Africa, i.e. only those that were known before the discovery of the two Americas, and to the New World - North and South America. These designations quickly became fashionable and received wide use. The terms quickly became very capacious, they referred not only to the geographical known and unknown world. The Old World began to be called something well-known, traditional or conservative, the New World - something fundamentally new, little studied, revolutionary.

In biology, flora and fauna are also usually divided geographically into gifts from the Old and New Worlds. But unlike traditional interpretation term, the New World biologically includes the plants and animals of Australia.

Later, Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania and whole line islands in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans. They did not enter the New World and were designated by the broad term Southern Lands. At the same time, the term Unknown South Land– theoretical continent on south pole. The icy continent was discovered only in 1820 and also did not become part of the New World. Thus, the terms Old and New Worlds refer not so much to geographical concepts as to the historical border "before and after" the discovery and development of the American continents.

Old World and New World: winemaking

Today, the terms Old and New Worlds in the geographical sense are used only by historians. New these concepts acquired in winemaking to designate the founding countries of the wine industry and countries developing in this direction. The Old World traditionally includes all European states, Georgia, Armenia, Iraq, Moldova, Russia and Ukraine. To the New World - India, China, Japan, the countries of North, South America and Africa, as well as Australia and Oceania.

For example, Georgia and Italy are associated with wine, France with Champagne and Cognac, Ireland with whiskey, Switzerland and Great Britain with Scotland with absinthe, and Mexico is considered the ancestor of tequila.

In 1878, on the territory of the Crimea, Prince Lev Golitsyn founded the production of sparkling wines, which was called the "New World", later a resort grew around it, which is still the New World. The picturesque bay annually receives crowds of tourists who want to relax on the Black Sea coast, to taste the famous Novy Svet wines and champagne, to walk along the grottoes, bays and the reserved juniper grove. In addition, the eponymous settlements is on the territory of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.

Geography translated from ancient Greek - "records about the Earth." This is a doctrine about the planet Earth, the people who inhabit it, about the relationship between people and the environment. Geography is divided into 2 fundamental parts: physical - the science of the earth's landscape, and economic geography - the science of people and how and where they live. In turn, both of these areas are subdivided into narrower sections. human knowledge.

Already in distant antiquity, physical and geographical ideas were born. Philosophers have tried to explain certain natural phenomena that could be observed on the globe. With the development of the possibilities of science as a whole, it has now received new round development. Physical geography is that which studies the geographic shell of the Earth, as well as its parts. The main sections of physical geography include such as geography and landscape science. In the section of geography are studied general patterns structures and formation geographical envelope Earth. And in the section of landscape science, complex natural and natural-anthropogenic geosystems of various ranks are studied. Physical geography also includes the doctrine of paleogeography. Another interesting fact is that it includes sciences that study individual elements natural environment. These are such sciences as geomorphology - the science of all the irregularities of the land, the ocean floor, their age, origin, and much more; which studies changes the globe; land hydrology, land waters: various rivers, etc.; oceanology - considers the interaction of the ocean and the atmosphere; glaciology - the science of the forms of ice formation and snow cover; geocryology, the study of frozen rocks, their composition and structure; soil geography - the science of the patterns of soil distribution on earth's crust; biogeography - deals with the study of the distribution of the animal world on the earth's crust and the features of fauna and flora. Each individual science from the above listed can relate to one of the natural sciences. We give: geomorphology refers to geology, biogeography to, etc. It is worth noting that Physiography closely related to cartography - a science that studies the relationship of society, objects and natural phenomena and economic geography.
