Wine Cellar Design


If you have found yourself having difficulty in finding a particular bottle of wine in a wine rack, you can now free yourself from such worries.



Some companies offer wine racks in an innovative design with wine bottles stored with labels facing out. The modular steel design offers a set up that is flexible with configurations for easy installation. You may place it in any available space ? from a residential kitchen or wine cellar to a restaurant offering wines or in a wine shop.



If you are on the lookout for a quality wine cellar design, some companies offer free consultation, AutoCAD designs and superior wine cellars made from redwood, cedar, mahogany and oak wood.



You also should know all aspects off wine cellaring. So many wines are put to waste by improper storage. Some languish away past their ideal age, while others are opened before their prime and are undervalued.



Wine has been loved for many centuries. In fact, the best wines have intrinsic values. Of late, wines have been very popular, owing perhaps to health benefits. Many people prefer to have a few bottles of wine at home for entertaining guests and for intimate dinners. Most wines with a cork can be kept in a tilted rack for many months without any ill effects, as long as the cork is kept moist.



Some precautions to consider when storing wine are as follows. The temperature in the wine cellar should be kept constant, and sunlight should not penetrate the wines. That is why wines are normally in dark bottles.



Also, it is good to remember that the best wine age in bottles for many years, even for a decade. Wine experts are aware that the best time to purchase a wine is right after it is bottled. In this case, by the time they are ready for drinking, they are very expensive, if at all available. This is where a wine rack comes in.



A good wine cellar should be able to hold your wines and should also be attractive enough to catch attention. Wine cellars should have refrigerators with adjustable temperature and humidity controls.

Wine Gift Baskets


Extending toasts of wine enthusiasm through gifts of wine baskets has become a hot presentation idea. Offered as corporate gifts or for festival occasions, romantic getaways and family celebratory events, wine baskets herald all the excitement and anticipation ahead. They open up fresh perspectives and great conversation, and revitalize relationships!



A good wine basket indicates originality, discernment and finesse. A subtle yet classic statement in itself, wine baskets enable family, friends, bosses or business contacts to connect at a rare, uncommon level. Of course, giving wine to a teetotaler or to one whose religion forbids wine consumption will spell disaster.



Wine gift baskets can suit any pocket and sensibility. The type of grape used dictates the name and popularity of a type of wine. Whatever the concentration or combination, wines from good grapes are distinct. It always pays to know a bit of viticulture (art of cultivating grapes) and oenology (art of wine making) to select the right choice for the right people.



Wine color primarily comes from the contact with the skin of the grape. So you can even get white wine from red grapes, prepared without the skin. Dry, off-dry, sweet, semi-sweet, new, premium, vintage or mature, wine can broadly be presented as Red Wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Bordeaux, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Zinfandel, Syrah, blends and other varieties), White Wine (Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris/Grigio, blends and other combinations), Dessert Wine (Sherry, Icewine, Tokaii, Muscat, Sauternes), Champagne varieties and rare wine from around the world.



Food and wine go together. Your innovative basket can include a bottle of wine and a ready-to-eat meal for instant gratification. The wine can be teamed with crackers, soups, salads or starters, pasta, pizza, fish/seafood, red meat or poultry, cheeses and desserts. Wines can also go well with spicy Asian food, quiche, eggs or vegetables.



A smart wine basket can have a personalized label and include the family too. A great way is to combine the custom-labeled wine with wine accessories like decanters or crystal wine glasses, corkscrews, wine totes, fine coffee table books on grapes and wineries, a whistle-stop wine trail invitation to your favorite vineyard or an exclusive wine club membership. Including gourmet items, fruits or chocolates will also encourage more rapture and self-indulgence!



Don?t stop the wining, dining or giving. Your salubrious gestures touch the head and the heart. It sustains extra miles of goodwill and bonhomie. And better still, it upholds an ancient, magnificent tradition.

Australian Wines


Australian Wines

 by: Chris Burd

Australias wine industry has boomed in the past ten years. Employers have had to triple their staff numbers to cope with the demand for Aussie wine. Considering the lower average national population of Australia, compared to say the United States or even South Africa, 30,000 (2001) workers is pretty high.

One of the main reasons for the demand on this skillful industry is that it has won an international reputation for quality and value. Australian wines have won many highly sought after international awards and labels and many innovative Australian winemakers are sought internationally for their wine making expertise.

Wine regions throughout Australia have continually had high ratings especially over the past four years. Most of these regions and especially the East and South coasts (New South Wales and Victoria) are averaging 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. Second to the brilliant winemakers, and a close second, is the great climates / weather that certain regions have for cultivating vines.

Wine is very much a part of the Australian way of life, closely associated with both business and leisure. Wine consumption is often linked to the country's outdoor-oriented lifestyle as well as to the cosmopolitan urban way of life of the bulk of the Australian population.

Australia exports more wine than that that is sold domestically. Out of a total of approximately 919 million litres bottled, 516.5 million litres is exported. The largest export market has been the United Kingdom and second has been the United States.

Researchers from the University College London have come up with a few very interesting facts. They found that drinking alcohol (including wine), even in small amounts, might be associated with higher cognitive ability, especially for women. You would be silly not to have a drop every night! I think Aussie are reasonably bright, it must be all the great wine they produce.
