Txakoli (pronounced (:tʃakoˈli)) or Chacolí (pronounced (:tʃakoˈli)) is a slightly sparkling, very dry white wine with high acidity and low alcohol content produced in the Spanish provinces of the Basque Country, Cantabria and northern Burgos. Further afield, Chile is also a minor producer. It is normally served as an aperitif and drunk within one year of bottling as it cannot be stored for longer. The most common, white, variety has a pale green colour, but there are red and rosé varieties. When served, it is normally poured into tall glasses from a height, often as an accompaniment to pintxos. It typically has between 9.5-11.5 ABV. The 18th century Palace of Mendibile in Leioa near Bilbao today houses a museum dedicated to txakoli, the Museo del Txakoli, explaining the history of txakoli and with a large collection of machinery used for making it. == The name == This wine is called txakolin (pronounced (:tʃakolin)) in Basque,〔(Entry for "txakolin" in the Hiztegi Batua. )〕 txakolina meaning "the ''txakolin''". The term is attested from the middle of the 18th century onwards, occasionally also as a personal name.〔(Entry for "txakolin" in the Orotariko Euskal Hiztegia. )〕 Traditionally the general form has been ''txakolin'', although ''xakolin'' has been documented in Iparralde. ''Txakoli'', considered a misspelling by the Euskaltzaindia, is attested from 1985 onwards.〔〔 Derived forms are based on the root ''txakolin'', for example ''txakolin-ardo'' (txakoli wine), ''txakolin-dantza'' (txakoli dance), ''txakolin-saltze'' (txakoli sale), ''txakolin gorri'' (red txakoli) or ''txakolin-etxe'' (txakoli house).〔 This wine is called chacolí (pronounced (:tʃakoˈli)) in Spanish, a word that comes from the Basque ''txakolin''.〔(Entry for "chacolí" in the Diccionario de la Lengua Española. )〕 The first reference to the name of this wine in Spanish was ''vino chacolín'' in a document from the Basque Country in 1520.〔(«Lehen txakolin ardoa, orain txakolina» ), ''Euskonews & Media'', 461. zenbakia, 2008-11-14.〕 The wine is occasionally called chacoli in French.〔Peuchet, J. ''Dictionnaire Universel de la Géographie Commerçante'' (1799-1800) Paris〕 Most authors assume a Basque origin but the origin of the word is ultimately unknown, except for the ending ''-in'' which frequently occurs in liquids (cf ''ozpin'' "vinegar", ''pitipin'' or ''txuzpin'' "watered wines"),〔Azkue, RM ''Diccionario Vasco-Español-Francés'' 1905〕〔 the word is obscure. Amongst the more fanciful attempts at derivation is a suggested origin from ''etxeko ain'' (just enough for the home).〔Mikel Corcuera, Manolo González, Pedro J. Moreno. (''Chacoli/ Txakolina'' ). Dept. of Education Office of Education, 2010, p. 156-157.〕 Others opt for a French origin as it initially appeared as a term to identify French wines in villages of eastern Gipuzkoa.〔 There are also authors who suggest a Spanish origin of the term.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Txakoli」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
