Vineyard Soil

The soil supports the root structure of the vine and influences the drainage levels and amount of minerals and nutrients that the vine is exposed to. The ideal soil condition for a vine is a layer of thin topsoil and subsoil that sufficiently retains water but also has good drainage so that the roots do not become overly saturated. The ability of the soil to retain heat and/or reflect it back up to the vine is also an important consideration that affects the ripening of the grapes.

Annual Cycle of a Vineyard

The annual cycle of a vineyard includes pruning, cutting, trellising maintenance, anchoring, budburst, ploughing down, de-budding, suckering, flowering, first trimming, first leaf thinning, green harvesting, 2 leaf thinning,...

The Middle Ages and Commercial Ethics

During the Middle Ages, the Christian church attempted to enforce moral commands adverse to commercial transactions. The taking of interest for loans of money was considered income without true work, deemed sinful and prohibited. There was also an attempt to generalize the idea of a just price. Although both rules, especially the former, influenced the law and the economy for centuries, neither finally prevailed in the secular world.

The Law Merchant (Lex Mercatoria)

Another feature of the medieval period was the development of a separate commercial law—the law merchant.

Origins and Customary Law

Like the jus gentium of early Roman days, the law merchant differed from existing ordinary rules that varied by... Continue reading "Evolution of Commercial Law: From Medieval Origins to Nations" »

Addressing Factory Temperature and Infrastructure

Good morning,

As you know, there are a few problems in our company that must be solved. The issue affecting all departments of the factory is the temperature.
