 cooler night time temperatures has the most elegant wines while the fuller-bodied and more powerful examples come from further downstream peaking around Loiben and Dürnstein.
The very best Wachau wines are however scarce, given the cult status of many producers.

The Wachau has 1,390 hectares of vines, planted in soils of weathered primary rock, sand and loess. In addition to Riesling and Grüner Veltliner, other typically Austrian varieties grown here include Neuburger and Gelber Muskateller. The "Vinea Wachau Nobilis Districtus" is the local association to which most local winemakers belong and which defines the classification of Wachau wines - Steinfeder, Federspiel and Smaragd.
The geology in the Wachau is based around soils derived from primary rock, known here as urgestein. This is composed largely of granite, gneiss or mica-schist, although the composition varies somewhat throughout the region. With slate in the west around Spitz, more loam in around Weissenkirchen in the central Wachau and then in the east around Krems, the gateway to the Kremstal, some limestone.
The climate in the Wachau varies quite significantly over short distances and is quite interesting. At the western end around Spitz, it is cooler, as here cold winds can blow down from the mountains, so the wines are more fragile and have more of a nervy steely character than in the east. In the east where the land is flatter, the climate is starting to become affected by the Pannonian climate of the great Hungarian Putsch near the Austrian/Hungarian border, around the Neusiedlersee this is much more pronounced with bitterly cold winters and hot arid summers.
Everywhere in the Wachau the climate is moderated by the proximity of the river, although it can be very dry in summer and limited irrigation is permitted. Because of the differences in the climate the harvest date also varies, being a bit earlier in the east than around Spitz.
The Loibenberg and Steinertal hill is the hottest/most sun exposed vineyard in the Wachau - you can tell!

Not yet. Due to time constraints and the original attached being too short, I had to improvise and extent the attachments with wooden dowels. Because of this the cube centres were not fully aligned with the motors, so there was an uneven amount of (I guess) friction for each turn. That made the delays for each turn uneven, so that is why I made the cube only spin as the button is pushed. (originally I wanted to have a set of buttons to do pattern algorithms, but you can still manually input each algorithm :P)The Joseph J.

In the United States alone, chronic pain was reported to affect 20.4% of adults in the United States as of 2019. For those with more severe chronic pain, 7.4% of adults suffered in a way that inhibited their day-to-day life. It’s our goal at Hempzilla to educate our customers and share the latest research and CBD news with you so you can make informed decisions as a consumer.
Is CBD as a treatment for chronic pain?
Before we discuss the clinical study on CBD as a treatment for chronic pain, let’s talk about opioid use for chronic pain. with In order to help with the treatment and management of chronic pain, many patients are prescribed opioids. Opioids are a class of drugs that bind to opioid receptors in the brain and central nervous system. When interacting with these receptors, opioids have the potential to create feelings of pleasure or excitement, and aid in pain relief. While there are potential benefits to opioids (such as analgesia, aka pain relief), they can also have major adverse effects such as respiratory depression, sedation, tolerance, physical dependence, addiction, and overdose. As a result, there has been an increase in efforts to find potential alternatives.
The study, which took place over the course of eight weeks, involved 97 patients (ages 30 to 65) who had been using opioids to treat chronic pain for at least one year. The effectiveness of CBD was measured by seeing how it impacted opioid use and the following four areas: Pain Disability Index (PDI-4); Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Pain Intensity and Interference (PEG); and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-4).
Whether that means breaking away from opioid use or improving their ability to complete everyday tasks. CBD hemp products are also legal in all 50 states as long as they contain less than 0.3% THC, making them a more accessible solution. This study shows that CBD can serve a potentially successful alternative for managing chronic pain due to its ability to reduce or eliminate opioid use in chronic pain patients.
