Week 12 [12-18.06.2017] Wine

Wine I won’t lie if I say that everyone tried many kinds of wine but there is only few of us who really know something more about this beverage. The first wines were made in middle-east part of our globe about 3000 years b.c.  It’s a long time ago, isn’t it? Ok, wine’s history is little boring, let me describe what types of wine we have and how it’s made. The flavor mainly depends on grapes that are used. There are many factors affecting the quality of the vine like insolation, plants around vine, type of water, etc. Those factors have only a little influence on colour of wine. Color rather depends on the way of making wine. So, how it’s made? At first we have to squeeze the juice out under the pressure plate. In next step we have to initialize fermentation proces. There are several ways to do that, sometimes it’s a natural proces without any interference but sometimes it’s enhanced by chemical addons. Fermentation is very long proces and it mostly takes several weeks. On the end

Week 12 [12-18.06.2017] Sailing

Sailing Have you ever tried to sail? Maybe you want to try? I’m 23 and I’ve never do that untill integration trip of our company. It was three days of incredible fun and experiences. But let’s start from the beginning. There were about 50 people so we had 9 yachts (about 5/6 people on the boat). We’ve set off from Giżycko and finished in Trygort. Everyday we were getting up about 9-10 a.m (it was so hard to wake up after great party in the port), swimming all day long and after 8-9 hours later we were returning  to the port to have a party. After this trip I’ve enrolled on the course to make a yacht skipper patent. I’ve learned at lot about yacht types, native rules, weather, etc. There are many kinds of yachts and I want to describe some of them. The first I’ve ever sailed on was Sigma 600 It’s really small and so fast yacht. Sigma was invented and created  first time in 2011 and it’s became one of the most popular in 6 years. It has 6 meters long and about 8 meters long
