Shadowing Practice: WELCOME TO OUR WINERY - Learn English Speaking with Video

Hi guys and welcome to the new video.

As you may have noticed from our Instagram, we own a family-owned winery.

It's called BV Winery and it's one of the things

that we are very proud of and we've been promoting it on our Instagram

and we are trying to grow it as much as possible.

So in today's video we are at home, not in Prague.

so we are in the winery and we thought

that we will do a little tour for you

and show you where the vine is made where you can buy it what kind of environment it has

and yeah i hope you will you will enjoy it

and some of you possibly come

so let's get to the video oh guys by the way ellie drove me here i'm

so tired i gave her my car she's my designated driver no she wanted to do Yeah that too.

Guys I hate driving this guy because compared to mine it's quite like high up

and I feel like I'm driving a bus.

It's a tank.

It is a tank.

It's funny because she's so little.

And yeah but we got here safe.

Yeah, you're safe.

I would say I drove better than Terry drives

but uh that's uh I would start a very long conversation

that's nice let's get to the video guys hi diva okay guys guys first there's our mom there

say hi to the camera We have a lot of people!

uh built everything like this around it extra so this is um

there i'm the moderator here yeah i'm sorry

so this is a building where there is maybe going to

be a restaurant later as well we already have some events

there going on with like food pairing with wine it's always amazing you should come one day

and um basically inside there is a huge like kind of

bar we also make like um soft drinks there sometimes like lemonade

and stuff like that it's really nice

and we make the best coffee we have this like machine

because our dad loves good coffee

so he wanted to have um coffee like it very very very yeah good italian coffee

so that's here but also there is coffee there as well in

that smaller building but that's just for less people

and we don't do the food and wine pairing there it's just wine

and we have these really cool and also ellie sorry to jump in

but you can basically when you come in

and you just want a wine for takeaway home to buy some bottles you can buy it in that small building

yeah oh

and we have these really cool machines we'll show you now first let's go into the big one

and then but there show them the view here

the view this is a whole lot of nothing there is freaking vineyards it's not it's a field

okay coming through so guys these are the machines it's so wait i'll just show them

so basically how this works at the bar you get a

card with like certain amount of money you say I want this much I want to match whatever

and you pay for it

and then you always put the card here insert it in here in this little space

and you have the credits

and then you can just get a tasting something for 11

for uh then you can get a bigger one for 34

and then you can get quite i don't know exactly the measurements

but then uh it's quite a lot for 68 grounds it's like okay guys

and this is called a driving glass because when you drink

and drive and you have one of these you can most of the time still get away with it

so just like zero zero because in check we have zero zero

but yeah and then here it says what type of wine it is

and fun fact here always the first two numbers is the

year of the wine yeah this one's 22 this one's 18 yeah

and these okay and also you can see that there's different wines

and this is our standard line that's like what it starts with okay

and as you can maybe see i'm not sure we have a bit different

lines like this one is different this one like all of them are a bit different

and um the reason is we'll tell you that later

because you can't really see it so we'll show you properly with everything

because uh some of them are like they have velvet etiquette

and then some of them are the same shape

but don't have the velvet etiquette some of them have it

in black some of them have it in white some of them are like standard um

and we will explain that to you in a second okay guys

so just to show you this space so here also it's if you want to just stand here which is

one of my favorite positions because then you're close to the animatics

and you can just keep like having wine and wine

and wine so these are places for standing up and then

if you want to see this space here is where majority

of the events happen for example there is one degustation today at 9 am

so this is going to be all filled um

and we also like ellie said have wine pairing with food

and events like this which is like always um we select an event hire a cook

and for example last time was sushi and sushi night

and wine or we had like some poke bowls

or check food yes so many events like these and now we're getting to the bar that's the fun part

so here also we serve some desserts currently we have one

that's um family-owned recipe then we have um strawberry tiramisu

and mini pavlova so that is great here you can see the menus

guys there would because our parents also have a wood company

so I think it's very fitting that it's made in wood

and I think it looks very nice yeah so menu

and for me I always love these glasses I love the way this looks as well.

So here is the cashier, if we need some extra money we take.

That's joking obviously.

So here is just behind the bar, which is not something you would normally see.

So just have a quick look.

I wanted to say also that this is the vacuum.

So basically when you open a bottle and you want to close it without the wine having worse quality,

you basically vacuum it and that means...

It's not worse quality, it's for the bubbles.

100

Yeah, bubbles.

101

Yeah, bubbles.

102

So worse quality when it has no bubbles.

103

and then so you put it here and basically seal it

104

and then nothing changes with the wine

105

and here i guess we have some yeah that's exactly what i was talking about these are the soft drinks

106

that we make guys this is my absolutely favorite espresso orange

107

who hasn't tried it needs to try i hate it

108

and pink coconut i haven't had

109

that yet yeah me neither why is it with it is

110

soft no it is a soft drink no it's with alcohol yeah it's a set strawberry romance i haven't had

111

that either yeah me neither guys

112

that means these are probably our special um summer drinks we

113

always have special drinks for this not sure it's been announced so maybe you're the first ones to see

114

um and here is the coffee machine the we will definitely get a coffee later and we will show you

115

how the coffee looks

116

and we also have two different kinds of coffee this one is um excelsior yeah

117

and it's um 85 percent arabica

118

and then 15 percent robusta i actually don't know what the difference between these coffees

119

but it's fine um then we have coquito and that's 80 percent arabica 20

120

yep and and let's go outside guys let's look at outside there's more of the machines here okay

121

ciao mama okay so here we have more of the machines and then instead of glasses we have the

122

wines here on display

123

which also looks super super nice the only thing i actually don't know what is is

124

that yellow slash orange one i've never i've never tried

125

that one actually so guys this is like the most standard line it's basically just the basic bottle that we have

126

um then as i said up here we have the sparkling ones we have rosé

127

and white and it's important to say

128

that it's basically made differently than some of our sex

129

or the thing is it's not like prosecco or something like

130

that it has to kind of ferment

131

and that's how it gets the bubbles this gets the bubbles

132

just from putting co2 in the wine yeah um then we have um the reserves um

133

and basically for the wine to be reserved it has to

134

have like a specific making process i think it's like a couple months uh in the barrel

135

and then some months on the bottle and then it can become the reserve

136

so it has kind of these times

137

that it has to time slots to where it has to be on the barrel

138

and the bottle and just then it can become a reserve

139

and um we also have we have many of the reserves

140

and over here guys we have the reserve red wines you can see the color difference like

141

this one is a bit lighter gray and this one's almost like black

142

and here this one for example you can see this one

143

won a gold medal um this one's from czech republic

144

but we have also some international awards and just

145

if there is we also make uh some prosecco but um

146

if for the wines if there is something like more okay it's actually here it's the white velvet um

147

uh and it has reserve barrick and that basically means it was uh

148

when the reserve was in a barrel it had to be in a specific barrick barrel um

149

and it's like a smaller it's a specific type of wood it's oak wood

150

and it kind of gives the wine something special

151

and then guys of course one more coffee machine where here also you can just take wine wine wine also

152

but also coffee to go and what we do every morning is

153

that we we have these croissants ready um for breakfast as well

154

so guys we are here ellie showed them

155

so this is the outside behind the winery we have this big machine

156

and we are getting into the actual wine making process

157

so what's important to say right now the wines have just been made

158

so it's not really the full process

159

but then we could make another video about

160

when there's going to be the next round

161

and you can see the actual process of how it's been made we just bottled the wines for 2024

162

so right now we can just show you the empty things

163

so first off we have this machine basically what happens is

164

that what's important to say also that all of the grapes are handpicked

165

and the production is in-house so basically you put the grapes on on here

166

and it separates the grapes from the bugs and stems.

167

After that, after the grapes are clean, it goes to there.

168

You guys, by the way, this is the back of the water, which is not so glamorous.

169

You can see how much it's been renovated because it was like, all of it was like this,

170

like the yellow crustiness a little bit.

171

So after it comes from, the grapes come from there

172

and they are clean it goes to the maturation you don't want it to ferment so the the temperature

173

that said there is around four to five degrees right yes

174

after it goes to there we leave it there up to 48 hours it depends on

175

which kind of wine it is and it goes there with the skin

176

because then the wine gets some fruitiness or flavor from the wine.

177

After, from the maceration thing, it goes to this machine.

178

In Czech we call it LIS, but I actually don't know what it's called.

179

Neither, but basically what it does is that it separates the skin and the juice.

180

And that's all it does.

181

Okay, let's go inside now.

182

okay guys so after the juice

183

and the skin is separated it goes into these steel barrels

184

that are huge and we add natural yeast to them

185

and then it stays there and we use the batonage method

186

or surly method and the difference is

187

that basically either it it is mixed with the wine

188

or it lays on on the east yes so two different methods

189

so as you can see into these barrels we keep the

190

wine there for up to nine months some of them less some of them more

191

but these are only for white wine

192

so it the wine goes into there use one of the two methods and that's basically how

193

how it's made this is also only for the basic line

194

and then when you when we have reserve it's normally in the barrels

195

that we'll show you in a little bit

196

but like i said here up to nine months

197

and then it's um around four more months on the bottle

198

before it um we put it to sell on the market yes

199

so let's go to the barrels now okay we have all um not all

200

but some of the barrels these are super super huge i forgot

201

but i think it's 3 000 liters yeah 3 000 liters

202

um french uh barrel for oak barrel yeah all of our barrels are french

203

because i don't know our dad just lost them

204

but uh this is for the reserves basically

205

so um here in this we just had um white reserves actually

206

if you look up there and those little not sure i can maybe

207

if you can see them you can see

208

that there is white wine in there and those are there

209

so um no air gets into the barrel and um is

210

that the analog can be sure that they are full at all times

211

because they have to be full at all times

212

because of oxidation um

213

but anyway for the white wines it's supposed to be i

214

think 12 months on the barrel 12 months on the bottle

215

it doesn't have to be i think it doesn't have to

216

be like this is the way we like it a bit different

217

but this is how we do it it's 12 months on the barrel for the reserves

218

and this is just for white reserves as you could see

219

this is white then for the red reserves it's a bit different um

220

but yeah this is where our white reserves are and yeah we keep it 12 months

221

in the barrels 12 months in the bottle or on the bottle

222

and then we decide if we want to put it out on the market

223

because sometimes we don't it's not that we put everything out on the market

224

if our dad and the analog and the people

225

that are in charge of this are not happy about it they will never put it on the market

226

because he just wants to have high quality wine

227

so guys right now we are going to show you one of the last things

228

which is the production of the red wine um not just the red wine the barracks

229

and the red wine yes yes the bar one thing i'm going to say we found out

230

so it's 18th century it was built in 18th century

231

and there is like a castle and basically it was not part of a castle

232

but it was like it was owned probably by the people at the castle

233

and we found out that where the barrels are there's actually one wall

234

that we will show you that's still from the original wall yes

235

so let's get to it go Elška model model moment

236

okay here you can see the logo yeah guys these stairs

237

before it got renovated they were a nightmare like they were

238

so one person broke their face on it i'm not gonna name names

239

but it wasn't me just so you know i was way too young back then

240

so this is the like designated place for degustations um

241

and like the winery of course we also have degustations upstairs

242

but this is usually um where it would also be happening

243

if they want to have it here because it's kind of more like you get more the vibe, you know, more the history.

244

And you, like Elie said, it's very old.

245

You get more of the atmosphere of the old building.

246

Yeah, basically that's the whole point of our winery.

247

It's such, it's quite a historic place.

248

There's nothing this historic, I think, around here, like around in this area, except the castle, but like a winery.

249

So it's definitely nice to get these historic vibes here.

250

I'm just to experience the whole thing.

251

And then we have a massive fridge.

252

This fridge.

253

So guys, like if in the summer, if you're ever cold, you might as well come here.

254

Yeah, this whole thing is a fridge and

255

so here we have the velvet collection as ASMR guys

256

and this one actually has this one has a gold medal from Strasbourg

257

we won that quite recently it's like 2023 but I think

258

that is quite recent one i because in the wine world everything's like backwards i feel like like now in um

259

october we're just going to be releasing wines for 2024 yes okay guys

260

so here we're getting into the barrels for red wine this is the fancy stuff this is the fancy stuff

261

so what i wanted to say is that

262

all of our red wines even the standard line is put in the barrel so it's put into these barrels

263

we have either mercier baron or segwin moral

264

and for the standard line it's there for about 12 months

265

and then it's for one year on the bottle more or less it can vary from wine to wine but

266

then we have the mini reserve which is in there for um 18 months

267

and then we have the reserve or velvet line

268

which is the velvet etiquette um

269

that is in the barrel for 24 24 months yeah

270

and then it can be on the bottle up to three years

271

or yeah but i think it's three years

272

and also over it yeah yeah it can be there for

273

and guys that right there is the infamous wall that's it guys like this one

274

and by the way these uh barrels are 600 liters yeah this is the wall is the full original

275

so 1759 guys the last thing for the barrels is that you can see these up here are um smaller than

276

the ones down here um these are 225 liters and they are the barrack barrels um so the barrack

277

line all of the wines have to be from this

278

and basically how we make it is usually the same like

279

with the reserves it's just in this one specific barrel

280

so you know you can't even make that much of the wine

281

and it also has more of the woody kind of taste

282

because or whatever each of the barrels that

283

because some of them kind of add something a bit different it depends a lot on like how it's burnt

284

or something i don't know yeah it's also important to say that the red bottle the red

285

barrel for the red wine is burned differently than for the white wine yes yes exactly

286

because then for the red it's kind of you know red

287

is a bit more it has just a different taste

288

and the white it's like kind of tastes stronger I don't know how exactly to describe it

289

but for the white we really want just for the fruitiness to be there

290

and kind of the freshness that's why the barrels are not as burnt as the ones for the red wine

291

and I actually don't know if

292

burnt is the right term for it in English

293

but it's just the term we use in Czech translated

294

so yeah these are the barracks and yeah

295

that that's everything for the barrel yeah guys

296

and last thing I want to say I forgot to say about the red wine is

297

that some time for the reserve the person the winemaker plays around with it

298

and let's say he separates the wine into two barrels

299

and one barrel will give it more of a fruitness

300

and the other one more of a wood or chocolate taste

301

and then you can put them into the steel container

302

that we showed you earlier and mix them and

303

that will give you the perfect wine so that is something

304

that you can do for the reserve as well play around yeah

305

and this is the last thing we'll show you with the barrels

306

and it's like a photo and take a picture with all the barrels

307

very uh being the alcohol this is this is the perks

308

of having a binary nine six guys it's five p.m somewhere

309

so the way this works is you put the card in hopefully i'm putting it in the right way

310

because you never know and you grab a glass this one

311

and I will just have the driving one because I drive the go-kart in a bit

312

good now you take the card out you spend I don't know how much is it nine crown check crown

313

so basically nothing and you swirl around you smell and you drink

314

how is it there it's amazing as always so we have the drinks here

315

fair is having the orange guys this is what i was telling you about at the beginning

316

okay she's having oranges with espresso

317

and i'm just having an iced coffee iced latte um it's a lot of milk

318

but uh i'm gonna i love it guys i love milk

319

uh i mean coffee flavored milk yeah that's really sure what it is

320

so anyway we hope you enjoyed this video we hope you like the winery

321

and we hope you visit definitely and if you're interested in anything like more from here or anything like that,

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
