He keʻena liʻiliʻi ʻo Charente ma South West France, ma kahi o 1 hola ma ka ʻākau o Bordeaux a me 1 hola mai ke kahakai ʻo Atlantika. ʻOiai ʻo kona mōʻaukala mai ka wā Roma, he haʻahaʻa loa kona ʻano i kēia manawa, koe wale nō ka home o Cognac.
Malia paha he ʻāpana o kāu polokalamu waina ka aperitif Farani. ʻO nā aperitifs Farani kaulana loa ʻo Lillet (i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma Ian Fleming's Casino Royale a kapa ʻia ʻo Vesper), ʻo Kir lāua ʻo Kir Royale (waina keʻokeʻo a me ka crème de Cassis i hui pū ʻia me ka Champagne) i lawelawe ʻia ma kahi ʻohe liʻiliʻi; ʻO Byrrh (ka waina ʻulaʻula me ka quinine - mai ka makahiki 1866), ʻo Suze (ka distillation o nā aʻa mea kanu gentian - mai ka makahiki 1885) a me Dubonnet (ka waina keʻokeʻo maloʻo i hoʻokomo ʻia me nā mea kanu; ʻo ka ʻulaʻula i ʻike ʻia no ka ʻono, ʻono a hui pū ʻia me ka quinine - mai 1846).
ʻO ka hoʻopoina ʻana hiki ke lilo i mea hoʻohui
E komo i Pineau des Charentes, kahi punahele kahiko e hoʻi mai nei. He mea kaulana kēia aperitif Farani kūloko mai Charent, Charente-Maritime a me Dordogne (Western France) ma Farani akā ua manaʻo ʻia he mea hou ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe o ka honua. Ma ke ʻano he waina paʻa (mistelle a i ʻole vin de liqueur) e hoʻonui ʻia ma ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka wai waina hou ʻole a i ʻole ka hui ʻana o ka hua waina fermented māmā, kahi e hoʻohui ʻia ai kahi Cognac eau-de-vie a oʻo.
Wahi a ka moʻolelo, ua komo ʻo Pineau des Charentes i ka ʻāina Farani i ka makahiki 1589 (ka manawa o Henry IV) i ka wā i hoʻokomo ʻia ai ka waina i loko o ka pahu i manaʻo ʻia he ʻeau de vie. Hoʻihoʻi ʻia ka hui ʻana i loko o ka lua no ka fermentation. He mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua wehe ʻia ka pahu, a ua hana nā mea i loko o ka mea inu e pili ana i kēia manawa me ka ʻāina ʻo Charente.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kenekulia 20, ua akamai ʻo Emile Daud, kahi mea hana waina mai Burie (Charente-Maritime) e kūʻai i ka inu. Ma 1935, ua loaʻa iā Pineau des Charentes ke kūlana o Appellation d'Origine (AO) ma ke ʻano he waina paʻa a he 10 mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua loaʻa iā ia ka lepili Farani AOC a me ka lepili ʻEulopa o PDO (Protected Designation of Origin).
E heluhelu i ka paukū piha i nā waina. huakaʻi.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- As a fortified wine (mistelle or vin de liqueur) it is enhanced by adding fresh, unfermented grape juice or a blend of lightly fermented grape must, to which a Cognac eau-de-vie is added and matured.
- In 1935, Pineau des Charentes received that status of Appellation d'Origine (AO) as a fortified wine and 10 years later, received the French label AOC and the European label of PDO (Protected Designation of Origin).
- Legend suggests that Pineau des Charentes entered the French scene in 1589 (time of Henry IV) when a winemaker accidentally added grape must into a barrel he thought was empty but actually contained eau de vie.
