GF China - 1/2014
n addition to the circle of established luxury brands, one of the magazine’s basic tenets is to showcase manufacturing craftsmanship of long tradition and family enterprises, whose living dedication to quality defines their special appeal. This edition is devoted to the topic of diamonds. These gemstones were revered in ancient times as a symbol of the sun and supernatural powers were attributed to them well into the 21th century. The origins of Edelbrand brandy are interwoven with the early art of healing. The 600 pages of the book written by the Strasbourg physician Hieronymus Brunschwig in 1512 are a testament to this in Europe. The production of the spiritus vini from wine goes back to the Persian physician Al-Razi (865-925) and his book entitled “Secret of Secrets” is said to be the first systematic scientific work on chemistry. Our special report on brandies in Germany, Switzerland and Austria brings insights into the exquisite offerings available on the Edelbrand market. On this note I should like to wish you every enjoyment in reading this Edition.
