Take the 2017 Budweiser Super Bowl commercial called “Born the Hard Way”, it tracks the story of co-founder Adolphus Busch, as he sets out to reach America and brew beer. These insights are already being exploited by major companies, who spend millions of dollars creating compelling brand stories. It’s why people cry when a character dies, and why horror films make the heart pound. Zak’s research dovetailed nicely with other studies that suggest the brain treats imaginary experiences as if they’re real. It turned out that watching the story made the viewers produce two hormones: cortisol, which focuses attention, and oxytocin, the ‘bonding’ molecule women produce it during pregnancy and while nursing. Zak also analysed blood taken before and after the film. Those who watched the film described feeling both empathy with the characters, and distress. In one experiment, he showed a cartoon about a father coming to terms with his son’s terminal cancer. Zak, a neuroscientist at Claremont Graduate University, has used brain imaging to understand how people react to stories. Whatever the reason, Dr Jennifer Aaker from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, has said that “stories are up to 22 times more memorable than facts alone”.ĭr Paul J. ![]() It’s been suggested that stories were a way for pre-literate peoples to remember important events or that stories were used as maps, to help one another find food and avoid danger or, as evolutionary psychologist Dr Robin Dunbar has argued, stories may have evolved from gossip, to help humans bond. This question of why humans tell stories has long preoccupied anthropologists. But what is ‘storytelling’, and how can the wine trade do it effectively? New research has uncovered some surprising answers. Anyone who’s been to a wine conference lately will certainly have heard the cry go up for the wine trade to ‘tell its stories’. Stories sell – which is why storytelling is marketing’s hottest new trend. That day, says Hopkins, she sold more than the usual volume of Church Block, Wirra Wirra’s most famous wine. ![]() One day, Hopkins overheard a customer retelling the Mrs Wigley story, except Mrs Wigley was now a mythical black leopard of the vineyard, who only came out at night to hunt chickens and prey on foxes and small children. Oven-baked lamb with potatoes, lemon, and rosemary, grilled fish, sea fruits and oysters, high-fat yellow cheeses, pasta with white sauce, as well as fillets of white meats.When Rebecca Hopkins worked at Australia’s Wirra Wirra winery, she used to tell tourists how Mrs Wigley – the black cat who sat by the fire – was first found sleeping in the open concrete fermenters.

Tasting even one glass of an aged, over five-year- old, Fokiano wine is a worthwhile experience! In some cases, they turn to blood-red wines with scents of leather and strong plum liqueurs, depending on vintage. ![]() From that point on, the wines are thick and their taste reminds a Greek grandma’s spoon sweets and home-made liqueurs. In the following 5 years their flavor evolves to ripe red forest fruit together with spices (usually white pepper), as well as scented shrubs, particularly reminding of the endemic species of Ikaria (rock rose, lemon balm, i.e.).Īfter 8-10 years this variety offers all of the above in a mixed marmalade flavor, creating wines which stick to the whole cavity of the mouth. Fokiano makes not too thick clusters of medium-sized berries and its yield per 1.000m² is less than 500 kilos.ĭuring its first two years the Fokiano variety produces fresh, high quality red wines which are characterized mainly by red forest fruit scents (red and white cherries, sour cherries, berries and blackberries). This variety is cultivated in terraced vineyards all over the island, the soil of which has given to the grape some very special properties. From Fokiano, a variety of grapes which was first mentioned by a European traveler in the 15 th century, we produce a wine with special aroma, long aftertaste and bright ruby color.
