GrapeFinder vs Breaking Dawn Alarm

To determine a grape variety requires trained senses, knowledge about the properties of the different grape varieties and the different methods of winemaking. According to soil, exposition, microclimate, cultivation, age of the vine and vinification varying type of wines may result from the same grape variety. However, most of the grape varieties show some typical colors and basic olfactory characteristics. Typical flavors of wines with ageing potential have been considered in the database of grape?finder, but it must be kept in mind that the older the wines the more difficult they can be distinguished. Wines consisting of grape blends may show the character of a dominating variety, even if the latter is present in a low percentage. Nonetheless, a blend can generate a distinct flavor pattern which disables the recognition of the single components. We have recorded solely wines made of a single grape variety and have assigned the aromas according to own tasting notes as well as from the literature. Flavors regarded as typical for a variety are weighted higher than other aromas which also may appear with this variety. The globalization of numerous autochthonous varieties has extended the spectrum of aroma: A nebbiolo based wine from Mexico has a deep and dense color and is far away from its original in Piedmont which shows a lighter color. Hence, grape?finder considers only tasting notes from wines which reflect most likely the basic character of a grape variety. Which grape varieties are considered? The FREE version includes 3 red and 3 white grape varieties. The BASIC version comprises well known genuine wines from 30 red and 22 white grape varieties. The ADVANCED version contains the properties from 65 red and 77 white varieties. Grape varieties almost exclusively used in blends have not been considered. Instead, varieties from regions like Croatia, Bulgaria, Georgia, Cyprus and Greece were adopted. With sweet wines, some aroma will appear more concentrated and often reflect a complete different spectrum in respect to the dry wine made from the same grape. Therefore sweet wines are not (yet) included. Grape varieties for Sherry and Madeira have been assumed if the corresponding wines were made dry and fermented without flor yeast. Rosé, white wine made from red wine grapes as well as "orange wine" (white wine fermented like reds, i.e. with mash fermentation) are not (yet) included. With sparkling wines the aromatic picture alters, whereby the vinification method (tank or bottle fermentation, i.e. carbon dioxide and / or yeast) influences nose and taste. However, some basic character gleams, so that grape?finder may bring you to the right track.

You can set alarms for dawn, sunrise, sunset, and dusk. Each alarm can have an offset, repetition, label, and sound. Offset allows you to adjust the time when the alarm sounds. I want to wake up by ringing 5 minutes before dawn. I want to ring it 30 minutes before sunset to get ready to go home. I want to ring it 16 hours after sunrise to signal bedtime. You can create alarms such as. You can repeat the alarm by specifying the day of the week. If you select Monday, the alarm will ring at the specified time every Monday. If you select all days of the week, the alarm will ring at the specified time every day. Labels can be used to name each alarm. The type of dawn, offset time, and repetition will be displayed without any special settings. You can select the sound or song for when the alarm sounds. On the sound selection screen, there are items for notification time and number of notifications. The notification time is the time the sound continues to play for up to 30 seconds. You can also set the length of each sound to be between 3 seconds and 30 seconds. If you select a song, it will be fixed at 30 seconds (maximum number of seconds for notification). The number of notifications is the number of times the alarm will be issued, up to 10 times. It can ring for up to 300 seconds with notification time of 30 seconds x number of notifications 10 times.
