Choked flow is a fluid dynamic condition associated with the Venturi effect. When a flowing fluid at a given pressure and temperature passes through a restriction (such as the throat of a convergent-divergent nozzle or a valve in a pipe) into a lower pressure environment the fluid velocity increases.

Dear Mike, An estate wine can come from many vineyards, as long as all are owned or controlled by the estate winery, while a single-vineyard wine may be made from a vineyard that's not owned by the winery that bottles it. A wine can be both estate-bottled and meet the criteria for a single-vineyard designation. An estate-bottled wine is made entirely from grapes owned by the winery, and the wine is made entirely on the winery's propertyâit doesn't ever leave the property during fermentation, aging, or bottling.
