Anthony Swift

Born in the UK and lived in Cornwall until it was time to start University. Studied for 3 different qualifications. Geography and Biology first. Then Descriptive & Applied Linguistics and finally Marketing & Business Administration. Went into the Training and Consultancy business and have lived and worked in Kuwait, Finland, Sweden, UK & Spain.

In Spain have lived in Madrid, Barcelona, Sitges and now in the High Penedès.So how did I get into the wine tourism business? Well once installed in a new house in the High Penedès I soon discovered that there were wonderful wines and wineries to visit but little tourism. So I made a low budget market research to see if it would be feasable to set up a business offering wine tasting tours - and hey Wine Pleasures was born.

I'm a big fan of Cava Brut Nature and only from certain producers. I enjoy fruity rosados and just love Cabernet Suavingnon and Xarel.lo whites. When it comes to reds I like fruity and slightly oaked cabs and tempranillos.

For future grape escapes would just love to discover Argentina, Chile, Hungary, Romania and South Africa - oh and CA of course!

GENERATIONS X AND Y: Understanding perceptions of wine and cellar door experiences as a means to motivate.

The wine industry has become increasingly competitive with a known surplus of wine on the global market. Many studies have concentrated their efforts on meeting the needs of the existing Baby Boomer population, aged between 44 and 65. However, to ensure sustainability, it is crucial that wineries with cellar door services explore the perceptions of the future Generations X (born between 1965 and 1977) and Y (born between 1977 and 1994. In this study 1988, and not 1994, is the year taken into consideration given that 21 is the legal drinking age in some countries and states), due to their segment size and buying power. The purpose of this study is to understand these market segments’ perceptions on wine, determine their demographic and psychographic profiles, using social networking platforms, and conduct cellar tour visits in both an old and a new wine country, in order to determine their expectations and satisfaction with the cellar tour visit.

Wine Tourism - A Solution to Europe's Wine Lake?

Europe produces more wine than it can drink or sell. Despite the EU-sponsored programme of vineyard removal, Europe's wine producers seem to have lobbied effectively to tone down Mariann Fischer-Boel's wine reforms. Does wine tourism offer a way to attract more people to buy more wine, and more expensive wine? What is the best way to go about this?

H.R.H. The Duke of Braganza

Dom Duarte Pio, Duke of Braganza was born on the 15th of May 1945. He is the 24th Duke of Braganza and the Successor to the Crown of Portugal. He is the son of Dom Duarte Nuno of Braganza and Dona Maria Francisca de Orleans e Braganza, Princess of Brazil. 
 
The Duke of Braganza’s godparents were His Holiness Pope Pius XII and Her Majesty, Queen Amelia of Portugal, the wife of His Majesty King Carlos I of Portugal, assassinated by the republicans on the 1st of February 1908 and the mother of Dom Manuel II, the last reigning King of Portugal.
Titles and Official Styles
His Royal Highness, the Most Serene Lord, Duke of Braganza, of Guimarães and of Barcelos, Marquess of Vila Viçosa, Count of Arraiolos, of Ourém, of Barcelos, of Faria, of Neiva and of Guimarães, Sovereign of the Royal Order of Saint Isabel, Grand Master of the Order of Our Lady of Conception of Vila Viçosa and Grand Master by Birth of the Order of Saint Michael of the Wing and Judge of the Royal Brotherhood of
Saint Michael of the Wing. 
 
Succession to the Crown of Portugal
On December 24, 1976 Dom Duarte's father, Dom Duarte Nuno died. Dom Duarte Pio succeeded as claimant to the Portuguese throne, thus becoming the 24th Duke of Braganza.
Dom Duarte Pio is the closest male-line relative to Dom Manuel II, the last King of Portugal. There are closer female-line relatives (who according to the Constitutional Charter of 1826 have succession rights), but none of these has Portuguese Nationality (which was required by the Constitutional Charter for succession to the Throne); none of these female-line relatives makes any active claim to the throne.

The Succession as Head of the Royal House of Portugal happened as follows:
 
a. Dom Pedro IV of Portugal, I of Brazil and brother of Dom Miguel, abdicated the Throne.
b. Dona Maria II, next in line of succession, succeeded to the Crown of Portugal. This line maintained the Throne until the 5th of October 1910, the date the Republican Regime was implemented in Portugal.
c. Dom Manuel II, last reigning King of Portugal died in exile without issue or legitimate brothers or sisters (+ 2 July 1932).
d. The closest collateral line was that of Dom Miguel, brother of King Dom Pedro IV. Thus, Dom Miguel’s son, Miguel Maria de Assis Januario became the legitimate successor in the Royal House of Portugal, by succession mortis causa of King Manual II.
e. While in exile, Dom Duarte Nuno, only male descendant of Dom Miguell II (Miguel Maria de Assis Januario) succeeded his father.
f. Upon Dom Duarte Nuno’s death in 1976, his son Dom Duarte Pio succeeded as Head of the Royal House of Portugal.
g. Because some considered that the line of Dom Miguel in exile was excluded by the Constitution of 1838, Dom Miguel II (Miguel Maria de Assis Januario) and King Manuel II signed an agreement known as the Pact of Dover by which the King recognised the line of Dom Miguel as legitimate in the succession to the Crown of Portugal.
h. However, this pact was totally unnecessary, because the Republican Constitution of 1911 revoked the Legal Order of the Monarchy in its entirety.
The Assessment concludes that:
a. Notwithstanding Portugal being a Republic, the rights of succession as Head of the Royal House of Portugal continue to be governed by International Customary Law.
b. The Portuguese State recognises that, according to the aforementioned rules of succession, the Royal House of Braganza and its Head, Dom Duarte Pio, Duke of Braganza are the legitimate successors of the Kings of Portugal.
 
On the 13th of May 1995, Dom Duarte of Braganza married Dona Isabel Ines de Castro Curvelo de Heredia. The royal couple have three of a family; Dom Afonso of Braganza, Prince of Beira, Dona Maria Francisca, Infanta of Portugal and Dom Dinis, 4th Duke of Porto.

The Legal Assessment of the Department of Legal Affairs of the Portuguese Foreign Office, dated 17 April 2006, established the rules of succession according to Customary International Law and Portuguese Constitutional Law, namely the Constitutional Chart of 1826, which governed succession until the fall of the Monarchy in 1910.

The dynamics between urban and rural wine territories: a competitive advantage

The vine and wine are factors that highlight and promote territories. In the rural territories that happens in an obvious way, considering the particular planning linked to its singularity. This is not, though, enough to follow the necessities and interests of contemporary forms of tourism. It does not offer tourists everything he looks for. This fact demands the establishment of new alliances in the territories, between the different agents related to its management and tourism in general. It also requires a dynamic interaction with the urban areas in its whereabouts, as these areas allow another type of tourism which can complete the offer in rural areas. It is necessary a reflection on the services offered by rural areas, maximizing these interactions, with the goal to retain the interest and attention of tourists, making them stay in a wider regional area, allowing more benefits for everybody involved.
