The drinking culture of respect for life
This theme, already proposed and developed by the National President of Fisar, Vittorio Cardaci Ama, in the last frame of the Vinitaly, in Verona, is meaningful news, not because the alcohol is now a problem more serious and more serious or more deleterious than in the past, not really, but because today, having fallen alcoholism, once very common in our countryside, there is a greater awareness in general, the damage done to people's lives by an excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages, including wine, however, is a minor issue compared to spirits and cocktail disco.
The issue under consideration poses a goal that is, the knowledge we possess and the level of civilization in which we live, however, due to or constantly present in everyday actions to take and respect for life, and in light of this duty attitude to life must see our relationship with alcohol and spirits.
Let us then, first, a question whose answer is not at all obvious: what does "respect for life"?
Let me begin my brief statement here, focussing on our lives, or rather what we are.
And I wonder: why should I respect life? What value does my life?
was the Greek culture, five centuries before Christ, first discovered the value of each individual and we define men and women "individuals" subject to the law and recognized by law, thus distinguishing human groups within their membership. And it was Rome, in its wisdom, to define its residents "citizens", which the law confers and then acknowledged, in addition to the duties, rights too. It's the famous episode of St. Paul, who, while he was heading to Rome, having been shipwrecked in Malta, was taken by Roman soldiers on guard and was about to be killed like an invader, but managed to exclaim: "Civis Romanus sum "," are a Roman citizen, "and then was treated to respect its rights to Roman citizenship. But even in Rome
citizens were holders of rights only because the state recognized them to him, for which an alien had no rights and could be reduced to the status of a slave, so that his life had no value to the Roman state, and there was, in short , respect for life if he was a foreigner and could safely be fed to the fairs during performances at the Colosseum, between the coarse laugh of the people, happy entertainment afforded it for free.
It was the Jewish culture, taken over and improved by Christianity, to make the leap, that is to say that the individual of the Greeks, who became a citizen of Rome, was also and above all, person, or having rights that did not came from belonging to a State, but by its very nature as created by God, as the Bible, both in ancient as in the new "Old Testament", clearly stated in the Gospels, the letters of St. Paul and other apostles, the Acts and the Apocalypse.
With the Judeo-Christian culture, and especially Christian, a person discovered to be a value, regardless of any law and any state, and then came the recognition in Western culture, becoming the foundation of modern law of civilized countries.
and what derives the principle that the state is to serve the citizens and not citizens in government service.
My life, therefore, is a value that transcends the laws of the States, as well as beyond my weakness, my weakness, my mistakes.
What does this mean? That life is sacred in itself already, and for our culture, if we see the light of Western civilization that is grounded in Greek culture, Roman and Judeo-Christian or even if only in the light of Christianity.
Within this world there are people who refuse to acknowledge the pillars of Western culture, as I have just indicated, we'll find other good reasons for recognizing the value of human life.
is a function of this recognition, the sacredness of life, or rather, the recognition of life as a transcendent value the time and place of physical residence on earth, it deserves great respect. The life of man and woman, of course, but only the physical body, even when life, as we understand it, is over.
Christianity, like many other religions, has a great respect even of the body after death and incense, and the funeral ceremonies of all religions, the cult of the dead spread everywhere, bears witness to this deep-rooted conviction.
So how should respect life?
If people's lives was the result of chance and everything should cease with bodily death, why suffer, why deprive us of the joys that we can grab, why give up a glass of wine that attracts us?
But it is not, life is not by chance, and our National President, urging to put our attention fisariani on this subject, tells us that the philosophy underpinning the work of our Federation is clearly and much on the line established over the centuries by those cultural values \u200b\u200band civilians who gave substance to Western civilization.
So what?
Every human behavior is, it should be respectful of the sacredness of life, functional to their needs, able to help her to express its full potential, taking away everything that can in any way be of harm.
In Italy, the legislation takes this into account and is usually on the basis of respect for life. Our social care legislation, for example, is the best in the world and supports up to the demands of life of all citizens without distinction. In the U.S., let me remind the public health care ignores the tens of millions of poor people, those who can not pay a special insurance, so there, although the U.S. considered one of the strongest democracies in the world, there is still little respect for life and there is still a long way to go to achieve this fundamental goal of civilization. The same
our Code of Street, with its prohibitions and its heavy penalties - as happens in many other countries - is running the defense of life, therefore, respect for life.
to life in so many ways you can make an attempt and abuse of alcohol is one of them.
But if we recognize in a serious and convinced the value of life, a value that transcends even our own will, because life is given to us, not us, not we who have decided to be born, if we make our own wisdom generations of children and we recognize that civilization that was born over two millennia ago in Greece, powered by men like Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, evolved in the Roman Republic and Empire, with so many thinkers and intellectuals, leading later in the mainstream Judeo-Christian who has the entire Bible, in the great Jewish scholars and thinkers of the Christian Church Fathers and his precise cross references, then we do not doubt, not we have them.
Even drinking alcohol, as well as in running in the streets and even in the workplace, our leisure and family, the principal task of every rational being must be to love this life that we have been given, know and avoid anything that may threaten, hurt or even kill her, supporting her when shaken, comforting in sad moments, defend and respect forever. On these
bases, I do not think about others, you can also build a serious and strong drinking culture intelligent, respectful of human life, that own and that of others.

Where Can I Buy Landjagers
The wine and the social role of the sommelier
Severina Chancellor, a researcher at the Experimental Institute for Viticulture in Conegliano, with me, will keep the communication on
Sunday, June 29
I'll be at Villa Marzotto
Portsmouth for the annual meeting of the Veneto-Friuli sommelier. On that occasion Severina Chancellor, a researcher at the Experimental Institute for Viticulture in Conegliano, with me, will keep the communication on
"The drinking culture of respect for life."
Here are some of my notes on the social role of the sommelier
Today it is impossible to think of a restaurant that meets without the presence of a sommelier the keeper of the cellar, the director of the guests, the great expert on wine. It is to him - and can be in many restaurants, a chef de rang with the distinctive title of sommelier - who trusts the owner of the restaurant, if not himself a sommelier, to buy the wine cellar and organize and keep it constantly replenished in order to draw up the wine list, recommend and serve wine to guests, providing elegance and harmony, lunch and dinner.
The sommelier is not an improvised character, is not a good waiter and nothing, not even the chef de rang or head waiter and nothing but a character who has attended courses and master's degree, who has long studied the world of wine, who knows (should know) what happens in the vineyards as the grapes become wine, how wine is stored, what are the most important Italian and international wines, as well as those in the paper of the restaurant where he works. The sommelier knows (should know) the characteristics of the dishes that are served in the restaurant, what are the most suitable wines to accompany properly, such as glasses appropriate for the different wines, how to serve wine. And he knows (should know) how to relate well with customers, who asked to taste the wine, those who serve first, how to answer possible questions from guests about the wine. The sommelier is therefore an important person, the heir of the ancient bearers of Greek and Roman times, these symposia in more than two thousand years ago and then always present during the century, the banquets more important than those of the king nobilotti country, to reach the current world of dining.
is not a professional "in jeopardy", being tied to an organization, both local and national that not only prepares the sommelier with three training sessions (three courses) are very serious and submit a final examination to check the operational knowledge and ability (if not exceeds a certain threshold of knowledge and skills does not receive a diploma, but can recover its deficiencies in both cognitive and operational), but follows him throughout his working career. In Italy
sommelier associations are two AIS (Italian Sommelier Association) and FISAR (Italian Sommelier Association of Hoteliers and Restaurateurs), equally serious and important, and in these notes we focus on Fisar, as the AIS is already sufficiently known. The
Fisar was born 36 years ago in Tuscany, a group of lovers wine and then gradually spread throughout Italy, from Veneto to Sicily. It is organized in territorial delegations, almost all independent and every three years, the sommelier members elect the national council consisting of fifteen members. Twice a year there are meetings of a general nature: one, mandatory, open to all members, to approve the final accounts and budget and another, called the Assembly of Delegates "(involving the" Presidents "territorial delegations of the individual) to discuss the problems associated and to decide on activities and business lines. The current national president of
Fisar is Vittorio Cardaci Ama, a noble Sicilian family, a serious and prepared some years ago elected a professional sommelier of the year and now intelligent leadership and the federation.
The National Council meets regularly at the site of Asciano, in the town of San Giuliano Terme, near Pisa, the city where 36 years ago was established Fisar. The National Council also elects an Executive, which has the responsibility to implement the decisions taken by the Shareholders Meeting and the National Council, as well as further issues to be presented to the Board. There is also a body called "National Technical Center, which is designed to follow the organization technical and scientific Fisar.La national presidency, either directly or through the national secretariat, has control of what happens in individual delegations, in particular following the quality of training courses which must correspond to the criteria of reliability and high quality teaching.
One way of connecting with the sommelier is associated with the bimonthly magazine of the Federation, whose head is "Sommelier", now in its 26th year of life, a rich and beautiful magazine, which keeps members informed of decisions of statutory bodies on national guidelines for action, implementing a continuing education with articles on wines and winemaking traditions of both Italian and international, as well as tell social life of the territorial delegations. The success of the
Fisar currently enjoys in Italy is due to their expertise of a good number of teachers, the quality of its training courses, master of the high level of depth and specialization, the professional skills of its graduates and its sommelier presence in major events in which the Italian wine sommelier associated meet the best of Italian and international wine production, acquiring new knowledge, which are then transferred into the restaurant world.
Who attended courses for Fisar sommelier - and there are thousands every year - the first is for your personal culture, and in a growing number of cases, also to be able to function as the sommelier at restaurants close to home, in both local and international wine events (such as Vinitaly) and on many other occasions which require the presence of a qualified sommelier.
Readers wishing to know more, where are the delegations, who are the territorial delegates, which organizes the training courses is sufficient to open the site of Fisar: http://www.fisar.com/ and will response to every curiosity.
