A Wine Bottles Artilce for Your Viewing

When Storing Wine..


Wine aids in the production and flow of gastric juices. This facilitates digestion by breaking down the food in the stomach quickly and effectively. For many, after the age of 50 our bodies do not produce enough hydrochloric acid that are needed for digestion. So many doctors, including my own, have suggested a glass or two of wine with a meal. Who am I to complain?

Learn the art of Wine Tasting.







Since its inception, wine has long been considered as one of the most popular and most well loved beverages.





Wine is an alcoholic drink that is manufactured through the process of fermentation, where the sugar content of the organic material from which the wine is made are usually grapes converted into alcohol by utilizing yeast.





With the complexity of producing wine, most of these alcoholic beverages are classified into many categories, depending on the style, vintage, vinification process, taste, and quality.





However, whatever type of wine being purchased, one of the greatest and the most important factors is that most wine lovers consider the way they are being stored. This is because a good class of wine is never too good enough if it is stored inappropriately. It is extremely important to store wines in proper places in order to preserve its flavor and richness.





There are many factors to be considered when storing wine. To know more, here is a list of some of the important factors that must be considered when storing wine.





1. Humidity





When storing wine, it is important to take note of the room?s humidity. This is because extreme humidity can gradually decrease the quality of the cork. When the cork is destroyed, the aroma or flavor of the wine is gradually dispensed.





The appropriate amount of humidity when storing wines ranges from 50% to 80%. However, the ideal humidity should fall on the 70% mark.





The idea here is that humidity doesn't directly affect the wine itself. The materials like the cork or cardboard boxes are the ones that acquire greater impact. Once destroyed, it can have an effect on the wine as they already allow some air or any particles that are exposed to the wine.





2. Temperature





Among all the many factors that must be considered when storing wine is temperature. This is because irregular and erratic temperature changes will greatly affect the overall quality of the wine. In most cases, wines age prematurely when exposed to unstable temperatures.





The ideal temperature when storing wine should range from 50? to 55? F.





3. Dimness or Level of Obscurity





Light will hastily age wine. Wine stored in clear bottles will age faster than those kept in colored bottles.





However, light can seep though colored bottles as well as clear. The direct effect of the ultraviolet rays of the sun will give the wine a distasteful odor and may eventually damage it.





Indeed, storage is extremely important in identifying the quality of wines. In fact, well-kept wines usually cost more. That is how important storage can be.





As of now, there is no such thing as a diet wine. Unfortunately, there is no getting away from the fact that wine contains calories and calories make you fat if you do not burn them up. A glass of white or red wine contains around 100 calories. Sweeter wines that contain residual sugar as well as alcohol have more calories.

Penfolds - Grange Hermitage


"Deep color, with complex, concentrated flavors to match. Has an array of jam, raspberry, anise, black cherry, vanilla and spice flavors that fold together nicely. Finishes with a long, full aftertaste. Has the tannic structure to age, but is delicious now. Try between 1997 and 2005. " -Wine Spectator - Rating: 96 "A full-bodied, youthful blend of 91% Shiraz 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, with smoky, overripe cassis-scented wine with massive body, and copious quantities of smoky, vanillin-scented new oak, this moderately tannic, juicy, opulent, muscular Grange requires10-15 years of cellaring. It should last for 20+ years." - Robert Parker - Rating: 93 (Subject to availability) PNG89 PNG89

Wine Bottle Mood Light


Make these lovely mood lights for your bar or dining room; make them for gifts; or make them to sell. I sell mine for $30.

Materials:

Empty wine bottle and cork

Square cardboard jewelry box (to form base for lamp)

String of battery pack Christmas lights + batteries

Plastic grape cluster

Raffia

Black spray paint

Multi-purpose strong glue like Household Goop or E-6000

Directions:

The base will be made from the cardboard jewelry box. Normally the top fits over the bottom of the box and forms an overhang. To create a smooth profile for your base, measure and cut off a strip from two of the top?s sides so that the top fits snuggly inside the base.

The bottom of the jewelry box becomes the top of your lamp?s base. Position the battery pack in the corner you have just cut two strips from. The side of the battery pack with the on/off switch will be flush with the edge of the lamp base so that the light can be easily turned on and off.

Trace the outline of the battery pack onto the other part of the box and cut the opening. Refer to the picture above. In front is the cut box ready for assembly. In back is an assembled lamp base with the on/off switch accessible through the opening.

Spray the outsides of the two box parts with matte black paint. Allow to dry. Glue the battery pack in place and let dry. Then snap the lamp base together.

Glue the wine bottle on top of the base. Snake the light string into the neck of the bottle. Try to get the lights to spread out as evenly as possible. It helps to turn the lights on when you do this.

Take several strips of raffia and tie them around the top of the grape cluster. Then tie the raffia and grapes tightly around the neck of the bottle (making sure to go under the light string). Tie raffia in a bow and arrange the raffia strands. Trim the ends to desired lengths.

Leave a little slack on the wire to make changing batteries easier. Insert cork.

Featured Sauvignon Blanc Items

Dole De Sierre


The Dole is the Valias region's name for a blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay grapes. The beauty of this blend of grapes is that the wine has the lightness and subtlety of the Pinot Noir while keeping the fresh fruit flavor of the Gamay. This 98 Dole is bright cherry red in colorin starts with a clean fresh nose and fills the mouth with a very soft fruit. The wine is dry with pleasant acidity and is refreshingly light, similar to a Beaujolais. Excellent with lighter, less hearty meat dishes such as Coq au Vin, roast duck, pate and even with hamburgers. SRDSW704 SRDSW704


Price: 48.95 USD
