A Red Wine Artilce for Your Viewing

The Benefits Of Using A Wine Cellar Rack

Wine cellar racks undoubtedly add a polished touch to any person's home wine collection. These practical storage devices can accommodate any number of wine bottles, from a few that are to be enjoyed by couples on special occasions, or hundreds for the more serious wine connoisseur.

Wine cellar racks can be fixed onto a kitchen wall as a space-saving and practical measure or be stacked on top of each other in a true aging setting in the basement of your house. Whatever your levels of wine consumption, a storage rack can be the answer to your storage problems.

Wine cellar racks have a distinct advantage over most other forms of bottle storage because you can tailor them to suit your individual taste and decor. You can buy many different styles and colors as well as sizes to convert any available space into a practical and stylish wine storage area.

Wine storage units are extremely easy to use and require little or no construction. Just place the racks where you want them and begin to fill it with your favorite bottles of wine.

The taste of any bottle of wine, regardless of type or age, benefits from being properly stored. By far the most convenient and effective method of storage is by laying the bottles on their side. The main reason for this method of storage is to prevent any sediment in the wine from settling at the bottom of the bottle. This is what inevitably happens when a wine bottle is left standing vertically for a long period of time.

A horizontal storage unit enables this to be done easily and efficiently. The corks in wine bottles can often dry out, especially if not placed on their sides and this leads to more breakage when the wine is eventually opened.

Apart from the benefits that wine cellar racks give to the wine itself they also have numerous benefits for the wine buyer and drinker. You can also organize your wine to suit your preference, either using one rack for a variety of bottles, or numerous racks for larger wine collections. This can help locating that special bottle far easier than having to move hundreds of bottles around that have been stored without a wine rack.

Even if you like to buy more expensive bottles of wine, you needn't spend a fortune on your storage. Wine cellar racks are very reasonably priced. Due to the variety of types available there is sure to be one to suit any pocket. The amount of space that you need for a wine cellar rack is also far less than that needed for storing wine bottles without one.

Of course, most people have seen wine cellar racks in their favorite restaurant or on television in grand houses. They are now far more widely available and not reserved for the wealthy wine collector or restaurant owner. You can purchase one in many different outlets and can buy a bottle, or case, of wine whenever you want without having to worry about where you are going to store it.

Stanthorpe - Queenslands Wine Capital

Stanthorpe is a picturesque town known for its amazing national parks, historical buildings and wineries, located on the New England Highway close to the New South Wales border. It has become more popular over the last few years as a tourist destination with so many rural activities and sightseeing options available.

There are a large number of bed and breakfasts if you are stopping over for a night or two, and self contained cottages are available for a longer stay. Black Creek Mountain Cabins are a unique accommodation option, located five minutes south of Stanthorpe.

The locals of Stanthorpe experience the four seasons of the year, which is not common to Queensland. Winter is a fantastic time to visit, and with low temperatures, a popular retreat is in front of a roaring fireplace with local wine and great food. Make sure you pack your scarf and mittens as there is even the occasional snowfall.

With such high altitudes the frosts are perfect for excellent grape harvests, and perfect wines. There are over 50 wineries in the Stanthorpe district on the Granite Belt as well as stone fruit and apple orchards.

There is so much to see and do in Stanthorpe, with vineyards such as Bald Mountain Vineyards, Aventine Wines and Kooroomba Vineyard and lavender farm all deserving a visit. North of Stanthorpe is also the famous Old Caves winery. Winery tours are popular, and each year in August the famous Jazz in the Vineyard is attended by almost 1000 people each year. Opera in the Vineyard, held in May, also promises to be an amazing cultural experience.

In February, the Apple and Grape festival is held every second year, along with the Food and Wine Festival. With Mediterranean food on the main menu and a favourite with the locals, it has all ingredients for a memorable cuisine experience.

You cant miss the Historical Society Museum, located in the town centre, with a shearers hut, preserved school and goal, along with interesting artefacts from the mid 1800's.

The four major national parks surrounding the city provide an unspoilt wilderness beckoning you to drive further on and explore at your own pace. Easily accessible by car, each park offers a contrasting experience.

Girraween National Park is perfect for bushwalkers of all levels, with picturesque walking trails ranging from 25 minutes to six hour hikes. With massive granite rock formations, wildflowers in Spring and eucalypt forests, it is a nature lovers dream. Girraween is easy to find if you take the turnoff from the New England Highway at Wyberba.

Bald Rock National Park is famous for its name, Bald Rock, which is Australia's largest exposed granite rock. With magnificent views, rock formations and bushwalks this park is accessible from the Mt Lindsey Highway, 39 km from Stanthorpe. Camping areas are available.

Boonoo Boonoo National Park is well known for its river system and impressive waterfall. Take a picnic lunch and relax for an afternoon by the rock pool that is above the cascading falls, and surrounded by open forest and lush vegetation.

Sundown National Park is located on the Queensland/New South Wales border. You can leave your car at the entrance of the park and then travel by foot to experience the remote wilderness. There are steep gorges, rainforest and waterways and there are places to picnic, camp, swim and just relax and enjoy the amazing birdlife and beauty of the park. You can also explore the impressive Red Rock Falls, Mt Lofty, Red Rock Gorge and Carpenter Gully.

More than just a stopover, Stanthorpe is a unique and relaxing destination and perfect for your car hire holiday.

Last Minute Sparkling Wine Recommendations

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 19:39:52 -0800
For those of you doing your shopping on the way to a party tonight, here's some sparkling wine recommendations. Whenever you see "NV" in my reviews, it means "non-vintage", or there's no particular year ascribed to the wine--it might be a mix of multiple vintages, or it might just be an inexpensive table wine. It should not be inferred that they are produced in the state of Nevada. Also, I rarely if ever drink proper Champagne. It's more of a cost concern than anything else, but there are lo

New Year’s Champagne

Luckily, the good folks over at Slashfood have put together a compendium of suggestions for New Year’s Eve.?? They have rated eight brands of bubbly of varying tastes and low price points, so if you are clueless, you should find this helpful. They even have a bottle of champagne that tastes decent and costs, yes, $4. Personally, I enjoy a goo
