Bracke (grape)
Braquet is a red French wine grape variety grown predominantly in the Provence region of southeastern France, particularly in the Bellet '' Appellation d'origine contrôlée'' (AOC) where it is as both a blending and varietal grape in still and ''rosé'' wines. Also known as Brachet, the vine produces naturally low yields and light bodied wines that are delicately perfumed. Recent thought among ampelographers is that Braquet is not related to the more aromatic Italian wine grape of the Piedmont region known as Brachetto.J. Robinson (ed) ''"The Oxford Companion to Wine"'' Third Edition pg 101 Oxford University Press 2006 History Documents from 1783-1784 describe Braquet growing in the Provençal towns of Cannes, Grasse and Nice where it was said to be a good table grape and blending variety in the local wines.

Tiroler Bracke
The Tyrolean Hound is a breed of dog that originated in Tyrol also called the Tiroler Bracke or Tyroler Bracke. They are scent hounds that descended from the Celtic hounds in the late 1800s, mainly for their hunting skills. They are hardworking, passionate, and independent dogs not known for their size, but rather their intelligence. For that reason, hunters can regularly use these dogs to catch their prey, wounded or otherwise. Their ability to stretch over long distances, on rough hot or cold terrain for their prey is also another perk of keeping this dog by your side. Hunters do have to worry about injuries to their dog, however, along with the common injuries that these dogs obtain throughout their life, like hip dysplasia or ear infections. Barring any injuries, these dogs tend to live an energetic life for about 12-14 years, and tend to be an overall healthy and robust dog. Description and history The Tyrolean Hound, also known as the Tyroler Bracke, is a breed of scent h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Simon Bracke
Simon Bracke (born 17 November 1995) is a retired Belgian footballer who last played for Tienen in the Belgian National Division 1. Bracke made his debut for OH Leuven during the Belgian Second Division play-offs in 2014 against Eupen, a match which did not matter much as OH Leuven was already sure of relegation before the match. Bracke played 17 matches during the 2014–15 season, scoring once in the 3-0 home win against Racing Mechelen. OH Leuven promoted back in the Belgian Pro League at the end of that season and Bracke was deemed surplus and was therefore loaned for one season to ASV Geel where he played 25 matches, scoring three times. Bracke returned to OH Leuven for the 2016–17 season but was used infrequently and finally left after that season to play for Hasselt Hasselt (, , ; la, Hasseletum, Hasselatum) is a Belgian city and municipality, and capital and largest city of the province of Limburg in the Flemish Region of Belgium.
