（《葡萄酒新聞》）最近，由《葡萄酒新聞》今年首次組織的Saperavi World Prize受到澳大利亞媒體廣泛追捧。澳大利亞釀酒商積極參與于格魯吉亞舉行的本屆賽事，激發了澳洲媒體的熱情關注。
In Drinks Bulletin's article "Aussie winemakers dominate 2017 SapPrize entries" the author Alana House writes:
在刊登于《Drinks Bulletin》的文章 "Aussie winemakers dominate 2017 SapPrize entries" 中，作者阿拉納·豪斯寫道：
Ever heard of a wine varietal called Saperavi?
聽說過薩別拉維這個釀酒葡萄品種嗎？
Neither had we until we'd read that Australia was dominating the entries for the 2017 Saperavi World Prize.
我們對這一品種也知之甚少，直到我們得知2017年大獎的有力角逐者大部分來自澳大利亞。 Saperavi World Prize.
Saperavi is the European nation of Georgia's signature grape. David Williams describes its grapes in The Guardian as producing "deeply colored wines with a kind of wild, almost untamed intensity of tannin, finger-staining fruit and acidity that has very few peers."
薩別拉維是歐洲國家格魯吉亞最具代表性的葡萄品種。大衛·威廉姆斯在《衛報》上發表的文章中稱這一品種釀造的葡萄酒“顏色較深，獨具野性和桀驁不馴的強烈單寧，顏色醇厚的果實及酸度使與之媲美者寥寥無幾”。
Saperavi vines are found in Australia, United States, New Zealand, Central Europe, and former Soviet republics.
薩別拉維葡萄在澳大利亞、美國、新西蘭、中歐及前蘇聯加盟共和國均有種植。
However, it's a relative unknown in many countries outside Europe. It was only recognized by the US Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau as a variety in 2014.
然而，這一品種在歐洲以外的地區幾乎名不見經傳。直到2014年才得到美國酒類與煙草稅及貿易局的品種認證。
"About 20 years ago there was an effort to clear up confusion and remove 'faux' grape names that were for marketing purposes only," Marti Macinski from Standing Stone, an entrant in the Saperavi World Prize, told the Star Gazette. "My guess is that no one was labeling a Saperavi in this country, so no one spoke up and said 'hey, let's include this grape' and it simply did not make the list."
“20年前，我們開始對葡萄品種進行梳理，刪除僅僅為了市場營銷造勢的‘假’葡萄品種名稱?！贝?/span> Saperavi World Prize的參賽者之一，來自Standing Stone公司的馬蒂·馬欽斯基告訴《明星報》：“據我猜測，這個國家里沒有人采用薩別拉維這一標簽，因此也沒有人提出‘讓我們把這個品種包括在內’。薩別拉維因此未被列入名單。”
Dan Traucki, director of Wine Assist consultancy (Australia) writes:
"Hvino News has become interested in what the rest of the world is doing with their variety... These wines will be judged in Georgia, against other non-Georgian Saperavi by a panel of five international wine judges. How clever is that!
They get to see what winemakers around the world are doing with their variety, whilst the winemakers get to benchmark themselves against all the other ‘newbies’ in Saperaviland"
“《葡萄酒新聞》對世界其他國家采用這一葡萄品種釀酒產生了興趣……這些葡萄酒將與其他產自格魯吉亞以外的薩別拉維葡萄酒一同在格魯吉亞接受五名國際葡萄酒評委的品鑒。真是個充滿智慧的做法！”“評委們將看到這一品種在世界各國如何加工釀造，而格魯吉亞釀酒商也將有機會和‘薩別拉維王國’的新成員們一爭高下?！?/span>
On August 8th the industry's leading Wine titles Media published an article "Australia dominates Saperavi awards" in its Daily Wine News newsletter, which reads:
8月8日，葡萄酒行業頂尖級媒體Wine titles Media在《每日葡萄酒新聞》簡報中刊登一篇文章（"Australia dominates Saperavi awards"），其中提到：
Saperavi, the “signature” Georgian grape variety, is becoming increasingly popular around the world. Saperavi wines are produced in Australia, USA, New Zealand, Central Europe, and former Soviet republics.
格魯吉亞最具代表性的葡萄品種之一——薩別拉維在全球的知名度蒸蒸日上。澳大利亞、美國、新西蘭、中歐和前蘇聯加盟共和國均有薩別拉維葡萄酒的釀造。
13 of the 19 producers that have entered the competition have come from Australia, demonstrating the variety's success.
參與本屆大賽角逐的19家釀酒商中，有13家來自澳大利亞，這充分證明了該品種的成功。
