Post through the courtesy of the "旅遊放輕鬆" of Worldjournal.com:暢遊葡萄酒鄉 醉人旅程起飛 [[[法國葡萄園風光秀麗。記者黃彩絹/攝影]]] 【記者黃彩娟/報導】人類懂得種植葡萄來釀酒已有6000年以上歷史,葡萄酒、美食及生活品味密切交融,形成精緻文化的一環,而葡萄酒鄉之旅,則成為主題旅遊的上選。 釀酒葡萄有其一定生長條件,一般說來,南、北緯30到50度的溫帶地區,是全球主要葡萄酒鄉所在。因為葡萄生長時,需要適當的陽光以熟成,也要有夠冷的冬天來醞釀;唯有溫帶地區符合夏天陽光充足、冬天冷度適當的條件。 緯度只是決定葡萄酒鄉位置的基本條件,在同一酒區中,葡萄田的向背光、土質、地形的不同,也大大影響葡萄品質及價值。譬如說山坡地較平地佳、向光比背光好,同一產區中,相鄰的兩處葡萄園,接受日照程度不同,價值可能會有天壤之別;不同向的山坡地,所產葡萄品質也有差異;另外,土壤貧肥及排水、蓄水力不同,以及當年的氣候,也是影響葡萄生長的重要因素。這些複雜的條件,法文以「Ter-roir」這個字來概括,專業人士譯為「風土條件」。 葡萄酒品質優劣,除受風土條件影響外,葡葡品種、種植葡萄及釀酒技術、器具等無一不重要;而種植葡萄當年的氣候,也列為葡萄酒的評鑑標準。 根據統計,全球釀酒葡萄種植面積在800萬公頃以上,受歷史及文化因素影響,葡萄酒生產及消費以西方世界為主力。 其中,歐洲囊括了全球三分之二的葡萄園面積,也是葡萄酒發源地之一,在葡萄酒專業領域中,歐洲被稱為葡萄酒的「舊世界」;而從歐洲延伸出去的其他產區如澳洲、北美、南美等,則畫入「新世界」範疇。 專家建議》住酒鄉民宿 嘗當地美食 沈浸在美酒世界中多年的品酒專家及講師劉鉅堂和溫唯恩,都深為葡萄酒多元風味及精深內涵所吸引,建議國人不要因為不懂酒而卻步不前,也不必一定要選價格貴的酒來喝。 而拜訪酒鄉時,應該開放心胸,以當地生產的酒搭配當地美食及乳酪,酒鄉之旅一定大有收穫。 邁向酒莊之旅,溫唯恩建議旅客事先做功課,可在網站、旅遊書或旅遊服務中心找資料,並和酒莊、酒農聯絡好到訪時間,有些優質而知名的酒莊一定要預約才能入訪,約好時間後,要避免遲到,因為酒農、酒商工作很忙,遲到會影響其工作計畫。 溫唯恩指出,很多酒鄉設有民宿,有些酒莊也提供食宿。以他的旅遊經驗,入宿酒鄉常會有意外驚喜,像義大利托斯卡尼地區,酒莊備有美食及特色住宿,充滿獨特情趣。 品種概說》葡萄酒特色 品種是關鍵 把葡萄釀成葡萄酒,充滿釀酒人的用心及辛苦,其間的學問,從葡萄品種、人文技術到酒器選擇,都大有講究。 一般人只知道葡萄酒以其顏色分為白葡萄酒及紅葡萄酒,事實上,還有介於兩者之間的「粉紅酒」,原先翻譯為「玫瑰紅酒」,是近數十年才出產的酒種,釀造方式較接近白酒,後因「玫瑰紅酒」之名在台被占用,目前專業人士改稱「粉紅酒」。另有一種稀有的黃葡萄酒,據了解,只產在法國東部的侏羅Jura酒區,產量很小。 英國知名葡萄酒作家羅賓森夫人指出,葡萄酒的香味及特性,90%決定於葡萄品種。釀酒葡萄酒均歸類為Vitis屬,原始有四十多種,其中以Vitis vinifera最重要,據考證,它早在七千多萬年前便存在,目前所採用的品種,幾乎都由此演化而來,共有八千多種,最常採用的有一百多種。 葡萄酒的顏色,主要取決於葡萄皮。釀紅酒一定要用紅色、黑色皮的葡萄品種,且必須讓果肉、果汁及果皮一起發酵;白酒則大致是所有顏色的葡萄皆可使用,但必須先去皮再發酵。 各酒鄉的天然條件不同,影響葡萄品種的選擇;而每種葡萄的甜度及不同特性,也影響酒的酒精濃厚及風味。以法國為例,清爽而有果香的白酒,主要產在波爾多、羅亞爾河谷、西南等區,主要採用的品種是蜜思嘉(Muscadet)、夏多內(Chardonnay)等。 黑皮葡萄品種最普遍採用的有近20種,包括卡本內蘇維濃(Cabernet Sauvignon)、黑皮諾(Pinot Noir)、希哈(Syrah)、美露(Merlot)。白皮葡萄也有近20種,例如夏多內、麗絲玲(Riesling)、蘇維濃(Sauvignon)、白梢楠(Chenin Blanc)等。(聯合新聞網) [2006-07-24] 9999999999999 7777777777777777777777777777 88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 ***************************************************** | |

Post through the courtesy of the "旅遊放輕鬆" of Worldjournal.com:旅遊》航行麻六甲海峽海陸通樂 今年7月,鄭和下西洋剛好600年。我們湊熱鬧飛到新加坡,搭郵輪體驗鄭和走過的麻六甲海峽,沒想到,一上船竟發現,21世紀下西洋的,全是攜家帶眷的親子兵團! [[[處女星號約13層樓高,可載客約2000人。 現代家庭,大概只有出門旅行,才難得有相處時光。]]] 在噴射機時代,什麼都講究快又有效率。第一次搭郵輪的感覺是:好慢。然而,從登船開始,拿到船上吃喝玩樂的「節目表」,你可能要開始擔心時間不夠用。 大人小孩 分頭玩樂 這趟麻六甲航行,我們搭的麗星郵輪處女星號,簡直就是「家庭號」。 5月碰上印度放暑假,船上載客約1700人,扶老攜幼的印度家庭就占了將近一半;接下來是新加坡和台灣、大陸放暑假,7、8月船上可能就是華人家庭總動員了。在郵輪上看到這些全家出動的親子旅遊,也是很令人感動的。 在郵輪上,大人不怕小孩走丟,可以放鬆度假,曬太陽、學做菜、泡按摩浴缸配雞尾酒。孩子沒有爸媽在旁不斷嘮叨「時間到」,可以在兒童專用游泳池盡情玩水,或在遊樂場和甲板上,和其他國家的小朋友自動玩成一片。到了用餐時刻,全家約好一個餐廳集合,又是和樂融融、討論熱烈的家庭時間。 一對來自澳洲的母女,是船上最教人感動的「親子團」。在郵輪上不趕行程,五十多歲的女兒Kerrie帶著將近80歲的老媽媽Norma來度假,「因為,父親過世後,媽媽就沒出過遠門了。」 原來,航行不是用來趕路,而是用來放鬆、休息、與家人相處分享的。 多國料理 一船打盡 處女星號上,異國美食齊聚,對愛吃的人來說,也是一件幸福的事,更是「重點行程」。 船上六家主要餐廳,從日本料理、義大利菜、中國菜、印度菜,都十分道地夠味;加上東南亞小吃、酒吧、咖啡座和冰淇淋屋,一天要吃六餐才可能吃完一輪。因此,如何利用三餐時間,把這些餐廳排列組合,嘗到最多美食,絕對需要,也值得好好「研究」。 一張船票 玩遍三國 當年鄭和下西洋,是為宣揚國威,如今遊客往來麻六甲海峽,是為觀光遊覽。搭郵輪航行麻六甲海峽,最棒的是一張船票可玩三個國家:新加坡、馬來西亞(檳城)和泰國(普吉島)。 每次靠岸行程,大約有六、七個小時可自由安排,郵輪提供各種自費遊程(購物、市區觀光、水上活動等,),比較適合家庭親子;行動力強的,建議DIY自助旅行,機動性高,意外的驚喜也多。 下船之後,不用擔心交通和語言,檳城華語可通,普吉島簡單英語就夠用。靠岸碼頭到市區也不遠,下船就有計程車或小巴可搭。此外,轉換不同城市,不必提行李趕飛機,輕輕鬆鬆。 Stop1檳城 一下船,碼頭邊多是排班的計程車、三輪車,司機大聲攬客招呼,耳邊盡是華語或福建話。靠岸的六小時,我們決定就在檳城首府喬治城裡隨意逛。 在地馬來和英國殖民歷史,加上大量的中國、印度移民,在此融合出多元奇妙的文化風景。英國殖民時期的洋樓教堂、馬來人的清真寺,印度廟和華人的宗祠、店屋,在街口巷弄交錯,毫不衝突。就連此地聞名世界的小吃點心,也是這樣充滿美妙的混搭風味。 在華人開的茶室,吃得到海南雞飯、福建炒粿條、咖椰吐司配美祿,還有混和馬來味的娘惹餐:叻沙。 在小印度,路邊攤的炸香蕉、咖哩餃都好香,載我們的計程車司機(福建阿伯),卻大力推薦對面的印度餅配咖哩雞,再來一杯印度拉茶,還有鹹綠豆湯。 肚子早塞不下,眼睛嘴巴仍不滿足,再向賣零食的少年買一包香辣的印度版王子麵,讚。 Stop2普吉島 我們沒有直奔人氣景點巴東海灘,而是驅車東北方的攀牙灣(Phang Nga Bay),乘獨木舟(橡皮艇,有船夫操舟)親近美麗的海上桂林。 大約三小時的行程,從大船換獨木舟,我們鑽進攀那島(Panak Island)的石灰岩洞,屏息穿過蝙蝠群居的水道後,眼前豁然開朗的,是陽光下的高聳油綠的紅樹林!聽見我們讚嘆,船夫阿朗熱心解說,海嘯那幾天,高漲的海水把三層樓高的海茄苳淹了大半。 在大船上用過午餐便返回碼頭,趕去巴東海灘。曬太陽的歐美客已重返海灘,海洋路上的PUB,也有觀光客慵懶地捧著書、喝著小酒,也許晚上會更熱鬧,但度假的氣氛是冷清的。 畢竟這裡應該是歡樂的天堂,我們不忘當個觀光客衝進超市,買了名產腰果和泰式辣椒醬,也設法喝到香濃甜蜜的泰式奶茶,大包小包上船去。 Stop3新加坡 航行返回新加坡,大約晚上7點下船。入關、取行李、到飯店check in之後還不累,除了PUB和大排檔,還有越夜越美的濱海藝術中心可逛。 這個新加坡新地標,在新加坡河入海口、魚尾獅公園附近,主建築為相鄰的戲劇院和音樂廳,頂著5000片玻璃組成的天窗,在夜裡就像發光的大榴槤。果然是新加坡新興浪漫地,將近午夜,來看夜景、吹海風的人還真不少。 從市區連結到此的藝術行人地下道,也是人來人往,鮮明、幽默的視覺藝術展示,常常引來路人會心一笑,拍照留念。 還是捨不得回飯店?趕在克拉克碼頭的美食廣場打烊前,再拚一攤囉! 文/莊慧如 圖/高智洋 [2005-08-14] 555555555555555555 88888888888888888888888888888 777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777 *************************************************** | |

Post through the courtesy of the "旅遊放輕鬆" of Worldjournal.com:新疆》策馬奔馳那拉提草原 天空地闊 一片無盡的綠 與哈薩克民族作最近距離的接觸 藍天襯著氈房,寧靜的草原風光。 草連著山,山連著天,綠得沒有盡頭。 ●有一句話說,「不到新疆不知中國之大,不到伊犁不知新疆之美」。似乎在大家的眼中,伊犁是全疆最美的所在。 但是到了新疆,問問那些道道地地的新疆人,他們眼中最美的地方在那裡?意外的是,所有的答案都是同一個地方「那拉提草原」。答案呢?也很一致:「去到那兒,你就知道了。」 那拉提的草原之美是很難用言語來描述的。在那兒,你的視野是地平線上的一百八十度,放眼看去,就是連綿不斷的山脈,而山上是深綠、淺綠、藍綠、白綠、黃綠,各種綠色組成的草原。一山接著一山,一片草原接著一片草原。那種巨大的美、純粹的綠色之美,讓人只想停下來大口呼吸。 除了綠色的草原,藍色的天空也是不可忽視的。雲在這裡像是得到完全的解放,以各種姿態展現在草原上,一團的,一朵的,一片的,一絲的,遠的雲遠在山的另一邊,近的雲就像在最近的山頭上,連雲的影子都清晰可見。 在那拉提騎馬是一定要的啦。開車的師傅說,那拉提的馬是著名的「汗血寶馬」,就是歷史課本讀到的那種馬。由於那拉提發展觀光已久,這些馬常與人接觸,所以騎起來很安全,一小時30元人民幣。 哈薩克的孩子們坐在沒有馬鞍的後座負責保護來自各地的「城市鄉巴佬」,只要你提出要求,他們隨時可以帶你飆上一段,風呼呼從耳邊吹過,哈薩克孩子在後頭熟練地「呵!呵!」叫馬跑快點。 騎著馬慢慢走,穿過小小的溪,繞過成片的哈薩克氈房,往遠處的山走去,這片氈房是給遊客住的,遊客可以包下氈房,享受這獨特冬暖夏涼的房子,也可以在這用餐,哈薩克居民就在旁邊搭起爐灶,當場拉麵,作出一桌菜餚。 往更遠處,出現的是當地哈薩克人自己住的房子,味道完全不一樣。這裡的氈房比較舊,但是透著一股自然的感覺,老太太就著溪水洗菜,小孩子跑來跑去追著瘦巴巴的雞玩,炊煙緩緩飄起,襯著草原當背景,觀光客千里迢迢來到這兒看美景,而這裡的美景卻是他們天天睜眼就看到的,就在他們的日常生活中。這些哈薩克人,才是真正幸福的人。 哈薩克孩子在馬上自在的唱歌,還會用不太標準的普通話和遊客聊天。擁有一群馬、一群羊,在這裡是再自然不過的事了,每個哈薩克孩子似乎生來就注定要在馬背上過一生,他們五歲就會騎馬,要幫家裡放牧,隨著季節變遷遊牧,一年搬家兩三次。 鞏乃斯河在草原上扮演畫龍點睛的角色。它靜靜地從草原間流過,因著它的灌溉,草原上的草更綠,也長出了數不清的小花,透明的水流過綠色的地毯,就像是童話中才會出現的畫一般。 [2006-04-05] 5555555555555555 66666666666666666666666666 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 *************************************************** | |

Post through the courtesy of Las Vegas Review-Journal:Mar. 31, 2006 Copyright Las Vegas Review-Journal Billions urged for casinos in Singapore LV Sands pushes $3.6 billion plan By HOWARD STUTZ GAMING WIRE Singapore's first casino could become one of the most expensive gaming projects ever constructed, based on statements released Thursday by two of the four companies competing to build a resort complex on a 50-acre waterfront location near the financial district. Las Vegas Sands Corp. said it would invest $3.6 billion to build the Marina Bay Sands and would have the project open by 2009. Meanwhile, Malaysia-based Genting International PLC, which is bidding on the project with Star Cruises Ltd., said the consortium would spend $3.1 billion to build Singapore Entertainment & Events Destination, or SEED. Neither MGM Mirage nor Harrah's Entertainment would divulge the prices of their hotel-casino proposals. All four bids were submitted to the Singapore government Wednesday. The government is expected to award the project at the Marina Bayfront, one of two planned gaming destinations in Singapore, by early summer. Wynn Las Vegas, at $2.7 billion, is considered the most expensive gaming complex ever built. MGM Mirage's evolving Project CityCenter on the Strip has a $7 billion price, but the plans include high-rise condominiums. Boyd Gaming Corp. announced in January it would replace the aging Stardust with the $4 billion Echelon Place, which would include four hotels encompassing 5,300 rooms. Factored into the Singapore proposals was the cost for the marina district site, valued at more than $700 million. John Knott, senior vice president of the CB Richard Ellis Global Gaming Group in Las Vegas, which worked with the Singapore government to establish a price for the now- vacant parcel, thought the proposed costs took into account the desires of Singapore tourism officials who are seeking more than just the average hotel-casino. "The site is magnificent, as good as there is in the world," Knott said. "It's in the heart of a very modern city. I think the projects being proposed are consistent with what the specific objective the Singapore government had hoped to achieve." Las Vegas Sands, which operates The Venetian, said its Singapore project would include 2,500 hotel rooms and 1.2 million square feet of space for meetings, conventions and exhibitions. The resort would also have 1 million square feet of retail shops, three entertainment venues and a museum. The casino would include the company's high-end gaming salon. In a statement, Las Vegas Sands Chairman Sheldon Adelson said the project would be aligned with the needs of the Singapore business community. "As a catalyst for the economic future of Singapore and a launch pad for its tourism industry, the Marina Bay Sands will help Singapore solidify its standing among the world's greatest destinations," Adelson said. Las Vegas Sands President Bill Weidner said the company, which operates the Sands Macau in China and is building the $2 billion Venetian Macau, already has a strong presence in Asia, which it views as a positive for its prospects in Singapore. "With an extensive existing footprint in China, one of Asia's primary vehicles for economic growth and the largest source of tourism growth for the foreseeable future, Las Vegas Sands will be able to attract tourists to Singapore by leveraging our extensive global customer base," Weidner said. In the Genting proposal, the project would include 5,000 rooms and a large convention facility. MGM Mirage, which has partnered with CapitaLand Ltd. of Singapore, has said little about its proposal, other than announcing an architect and plans for a permanent Cirque du Soliel show. "We've taken a position of maintaining a confidentiality on the project out of respect for the Singapore government," MGM Mirage spokesman Gordon Absher said. Harrah's, which has teamed with Keppel Land Ltd. of Singapore, has announced several aspects of its proposal for Caesars Singapore, including an agreement with Asia's leading media and entertainment company, and plans for iPort, a 16-story, 1 million-square-foot entertainment complex in which Academy Award-winning director James Cameron will serve as executive producer. "We've never publicly disclosed the budget for Marina Bay Caesars Singapore," Harrah's spokesman Alberto Lopez said. "We will disclose it to the Singapore Tourism Board but it will be covered by a confidentially agreement." Company representatives are expected to be in Singapore next week to meet with government officials on the proposals. Gaming analysts have been somewhat reluctant to handicap the competition. "We believe the relationship with a local partner could be a particularly important factor in the decision," Deutsche Bank gaming analyst Marc Falcone said. "Overall, we believe that the Marina location will be highly contested battle and to pick a winner would be quite difficult at this point," he said. "Singapore could announce a decision as early as June." 11111111111111 6666666666666666666666666 777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777 ************************************************** | |

Post through the courtesy of the "新聞首頁>健康新聞>中時電子報" of Yahoo!奇摩新聞: 脂肪質與量 影響心臟健康 ***友善列印 【中時電子報 】 林天送專欄最近美國醫學協會學刊有三篇長達37頁的婦女健康研究(WHI)論文(JAMA 295: 629-666,2006),這是一個最大規模及最長時間的「低脂飲食與疾病」的研究。分組進行,八年的調查與統計發現:那些採取低脂飲食的婦女,她們罹患乳癌、大腸癌(新聞、網站)、心臟病(新聞、網站)以及腦中風的比率,與那些無控制飲食的人相比,稍有差異,但並沒有真正的統計意義;這結論與過去的醫學研究論點有出入。 這研究的對象是將近4萬9千名50至79歲的婦女,她們有二個特徵:(1)更年期(新聞、網站)後過著高脂的生活。(2)體重指數(BMI) 的分布是:26%低於25,36%介於25~29,23%介於30~34.9,15%超過35,一般婦女的理想健康BMI是24,故有74%的婦女屬肥胖,肥胖是健康的最大殺手。 ★人造奶油 比豬油還壞 飲食的控制與內容:(1)在1993年研究開始時,這些婦女的脂肪量佔總飲食熱量的35%,研究計畫是要增加蔬菜水果的量,而減少脂肪量,但保持總能量,原先目標是要把脂肪量降低到20%;第一年勉強達到24%,但八年下來的平均值僅29%,故攝取「低」與「平常」脂肪的分組及結果也就顯示不出大差異。 飲食的內容也是一個問題,當WHI剛開始時,對脂肪的種類及其營養效應並不很了解,故只控制脂肪的總含量,而沒有限制脂肪的種類。目前的了解是不飽和的脂肪酸(大多數植物油)有益健康。飽和脂肪酸(動物油等)則會提LDL高膽固醇,有害健康,但魚油是含ω3的好油。另外,氫化脂肪是把不飽和的植物油轉化成飽和的固態,這類的人造脂肪比豬油還壞。 ★低脂飲食保護心臟 心臟血管疾病包括心臟病以及腦中風,美國更年期後婦女因心臟病死亡的人數比因乳癌死亡的人數要高五倍。雖然研究的結果沒有顯示出低脂飲食減少心臟血管疾病的罹患率,可能是因低脂不夠低,也可能沒有去限制脂肪的種類。最近的營養研究發現:飽和脂肪及轉化脂肪不容易在心臟血管流通,容易累積在血管皮層,再經自由基的破壞就變成血管粥化,是心臟病的先兆。但不飽和的植物油、魚油有保護血管作用。 不過,詳細去看WHI的統計發現,低脂對心臟血管疾病的危險因子有幾個效應:低脂飲食降低LDL膽固醇、降低血壓、降低血液凝聚因子。最明顯的改變是發生在那些採取最低飽和脂肪及氫化脂肪而食用多份蔬果的一群婦女,這與過去的研究報告並沒有什麼不同。 ★其他影響心臟健康的因素 另外,心臟血管疾病的病因除了脂肪的攝取量以外,還有鹽、抽菸、運動等因素都會影響到心臟血管的健康。又肥胖容易引起糖尿病,而糖尿病患者的一個併發症是心臟病,故脂肪攝取量的控制(不超過二成的總能量)及避免飽和脂肪及氫化脂肪最為重要,攝取低脂飲食再加降低總能量,一定可以達到保護心臟血管。(作者林天送為美國聖路易華盛頓大學教授)[2006 / 02 / 24 (星期五)] 666666666666666 111111111111111111111111111 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 ************************************************** | | Go To Page: 1 [2][3] | |
