https://lnkd.in/get4-7it YOUR CULTURE IS YOUR BRAND-How do different European countries express their cultural identities through food, fashion, and art? By Hugo Keji European countries express their cultural identities through food, fashion, and art in distinct ways, reflecting their histories, climates, and traditions. Here's an overview of how some regions do this: 1. Food European cuisine varies widely but is a key expression of cultural identity. For example: France is known for its gourmet cuisine, with fine pastries like croissants, delicate...

Stories Intoxicate Me. That's why I love stories. I love stories of products more than the products. Nothing catches my attention more than a well crafted story. And oftentimes, the quality of craft that went into the story of a product is a reflection of the quality of thoughts that went into crafting the product. That's why I love products with well crafted, free flowing, awe inspiring, jaw hanging stories. Craftsmen naturally draw their meticulousness from inspiration narrated in stories capturing the vision behind the products. Stories are everything. Almost everything. Take for instance this cocktail of cognac. It is the Per Sempre Cocktail which in Italian means Forever. Hennessy describes it as a timeless drink for those looking to escape from the sweet or fruity. It is dry, bitter, and complexly aromatic, and the Hennessy V.S.O.P adds a hint of spice and rounds out the effect on the palate. When you read such descriptions you start exhibiting reflexes that stretch your Pavlovian instincts. That's what good stories do to the brain. That's why I love stories. But oftentimes, I love them more than their products. Stories are life giving. #africanstorytelling #africalogos #kelechideca #hennessy

That's why I love products with well crafted, free flowing, awe inspiring, jaw hanging stories. Craftsmen naturally draw their meticulousness from inspiration narrated in stories capturing the vision behind the products. There is something like a kindred spirit shared by minds that invent great works/products and minds that craft great stories to reflect the depth of the former. Stories are everything. Almost everything. Take for instance this cocktail of cognac. It is the Per Sempre Cocktail which in Italian means Forever.

Men and Wine: is it a love story? I like to think that the relationship between wine and men can be perceived as a love story. And not solely a historical, economic, or cultural one. It is a way for men to show their sensibility without looking girlish. We can easily agree that wine has been an integral part of many cultures for centuries, symbolizing celebration, communion, and even refinement as I said in a previous post. But it is also true that men, more often than women, appreciate and partake in the cultural significance of wine, whether it's enjoying a glass during a meal, sharing a bottle with friends, or even harvesting, producing, and exposing themselves to more risks. Why is that? Is this ritual the silent way for men to build a social bonding? Let’s start with the scene of four men at a table, a common experience throughout my life, either professional or personal. It is true that beyond the cultural and social aspects, wine offers sensory pleasures that many men enjoy. The aromas, flavors, and textures of wine can evoke a range of sensations, making the act of tasting and savoring wine a pleasurable experience. From my point of view, yes, tasting and enjoying wine together can be a marker of refinement and knowledge… but it is also a truly sensual journey where men can feel safe, talking of textures and aromas within the boundaries of manliness. Now from that scene of men sharing wine together at a table, let’s have a look outside, in the open-field: Why would men work on a product that is rooted in the land, prey to weather conditions, diseases, and that requires commitment and hard work? Well, it certainly appeals to the adventurous spirit. One that puts them (us) back to the ancestral role. Picture: by Carlo Galimberti on Discord.

How can a winery show the actual value of its wines? How could people understand this uniqueness? My answer is: — Through the value of art. And connection with the right audience, of course. Château Mouton-Rothschild has collaborated with the world's greatest painters and sculptors since 1945, and everybody knows that. However, what people often overlook is that you don’t need to be Rothschild to find an artist who can represent the soul of your wine. And here is how my Winetime agency helps amazing, but not yet famous, wineries to succeed: ♦️ We create online personal brands for winemakers, reaching new people on a new level. ♦️ Find artists who match the soul of the winery’s brand. ♦️ And create unforgettable art collaborations! You know all about wine technology and bouquets. I know how to reach out to artists and promote your brand online. DM me if you're interested in learning more.
