Wine Accessories – A Wine Lover’s Mark

Posted by Aziz Devje Comments (1)

The popularity of wine spreads all over the world. This drink loved by all, is perhaps one of the oldest alcoholic beverages available. A true wine lover not only loves to drink it, but also loves to serve it to other people. For a wine connoisseur, a wine rack is a must to have in his house. Wine racks are both decorative as well as utilitarian. It is for holding your collection of different wine bottles, and for many it is like a display which they always are proud of.

Wine racks:

There are so many different designs of wine racks you can find. Depending on your taste, whether you want an old classic look or a modern touch, you can choose the wine rack. Wood is still the most loved storage wine rack. There are a few wine racks that are even made for storing wine inside the refrigerator. Wine bottles have to be kept and stored with utmost care. These wine racks hold the bottles in contact with the cork, thereby preventing any loss of taste or smell of delicate liquids.

Wine racks can be made up of wood, metal, wrought iron, etc. It is said that wrought iron racks are best, as they can not only be made into different artistic designs, but they are also sturdy, thus providing good support for your wine bottles. For a classic Victorian look, go for a wooden wine storage rack. This is also safe to use as it can go with any kind of furniture you have at home. You can also buy table top racks if you are short of space in the house.

Things to remember:

For those who have a large collection of wine, you can also go for a refrigerator wine storage rack, as the refrigerator will keep the temperature under control. There are a few things that you should remember while buying a wine storage rack:

• Decide on the place where you want to keep the rack, be it your kitchen or your dining area. Depending on that, you can decide on what type of rack you want.

• If you have a big space, you can have choices as to what type of racks you want, but incase you are short of space, you can go for a hanging one or a wall rack.

• Check out the size, shape, and the number of bottles you want, and then you can decide whether you will need a big rack or if a small one will do.

• Find out the different price ranges and compare prices from all different dealers. Buy the one that suits your budget.

A wine rack cannot be complete without wine accessories. The most common ones include wine glasses, corkscrews, wine totes, coolers, wine stoppers, wine bottle holders, corkboards etc. A wine corkscrew is an important tool. There are many types of corkscrews available, though all serve the same purpose. One end has to be screwed directly into the cork’s center, and then the handle is used to lift the cork out of the bottle. Now you can also find decanters for enhancing the look of your display. They are glass bottles with designs on them, and they are also great for maintaining the flavors of wine rather than to keep in open bottles in your rack.

These wine accessories also make a perfect gift for someone who has a taste for fine things in life.

How Many Calories in Red Wine

How Many Calories in Red Wine?

By: Steven Magill

Most people are aware that alcohol has calories in it. But how many calories in red wine specifically? If you are a real red wine lover you will want to know how many calories it has in it, especially if you are dieting. Red wine can be part of any diet you are on, just so long as you don’t drink too much of it!

So is red wine more calorific than white wine?

Actually red wine can have fewer calories in it, but it does depend on the type of wine you are talking about. For example a sweet white wine will be more calorific than red wine, but a dry white will be about the same. This is obvious when you think about it, because of the sweetness (or lack of it).

However you should take this as a general guide rather than a specific figure. Different wines can vary depending on the ingredients and how they are made. Most red wines are more or less the same though, varying from around 85 calories to 95 calories in a glass.

Typically speaking a measure of wine will be around 125ml. It is useful to measure this in a glass rather than assuming you have the right amount, as wine glasses can vary a lot in size. You might think you are drinking 85 calories worth of red wine, but if you have a big wine glass you could be drinking a lot more than that.

For your information rose wine is generally around the same as red wine too, so if you are considering moving on to a rose from time to time you should work on the same amount of calories as a rough guide.

What about a bottle?

If you want to know how many calories in red wine bottles, you should figure out how many lots of 125ml are in a standard bottle. Most bottles are 750ml, meaning you will get six glasses from it. As you can see it is easy for the calories to add up if you end up drinking two or three glasses throughout the evening. Do the calories depend on the grape variety used to make the red wine?

Actually yes they do. For example a cabernet sauvignon is usually about 90 calories per 125ml glass. In contrast a burgundy is more like 95 calories for the same measure. However there is such a slight difference between the two that you would not ruin your diet if you had a burgundy every now and then instead of a cabernet sauvignon.

It is certainly a good idea to know about the calorific values of wine because it will enable you to plan your diet more effectively. Most people are aware that red wine in moderation is good for you. So when you want to know how many calories in red wine, make sure you refer to the information above and use it to ensure you don’t drink more calories than you think you should!

french wineI Love French Wine and Food – a Burgundy Aligote

Posted by Aziz Devje Comments (0)

If you are in the mood for fine French wine and food, why not consider the world famous Burgundy region in eastern France? You may even find a bargain, and I hope that you’ll have fun on this fact-filled wine education tour in which we review a local white wine based on the Aligote grape.

Among France’s eleven wine-growing regions Burgundy ranks fourth in acreage if you include the Beaujolais region, which most people do in spite of their considerable differences. Partisans, and they are many, claim that Burgundy is really the number one or number two wine-producing region in France, if not in the world. The wine reviewed below comes from somewhere in Burgundy, whose wine production is almost 90% white, almost exclusively Chardonnay. While the Aligote grape is Burgundy’s number two white grape, it remains fairly unknown. We’ll find out whether this lack of notoriety is deserved or not. Besides Burgundy Aligote grapes are raised in Bulgaria, a not a very-well known wine producer but one that occasionally generates bargains. The best Aligote wines are said to come from the village of Bouzeron and the surrounding area located in the Cote Chalonnaise region of Burgundy. These wines are occasionally a blend of Aligote and Chardonnay. As far as we know the wine reviewed is pure Aligote and does not come from the Bouzeron area of Burgundy.

If you are visiting Burgundy, and you really should, make sure to stop by the Cote d’Or village of Chateauneuf about twenty five miles (forty kilometers) southwest of Dijon in northern Burgundy. This little hilltop village seems to come straight out of the Middle Ages, except for the tourists who have recently discovered it. Its focal point is the Chateau (Castle) built in 1132 and occupied by the same family for nine generations until 1456 when Cathrine of Chateauneuf was burnt to death; it is said that she poisoned her second husband, Jacques d’Haussonville. The castle then went through various owners until the French Revolution when it was expropriated and the village’s name was changed to Montfranc. With the construction of the Burgundy Canal its fate was sealed so to speak. Make sure to see the castle’s medieval tapestries and its reflection in the canal. By the way, the famous Chateauneuf du Pape wine is from Provence, not from Burgundy.

french wineI Love French Wine and Food – a Provence Bandol

Posted by Aziz Devje Comments (0)

If you are in the market for fine French wine and food, why don’t you consider the world famous Provence region in southeastern France? Perhaps you will find a bargain wine in this sun-drenched ideal tourist location, which is marred only by the number of tourists. I hope that you’ll enjoy yourself on this fact-filled wine education tour of this French candidate for paradise in which we review a local red wine based on the red Mourvedre grape.

Among France’s eleven wine-growing regions Provence ranks ninth in acreage if you include the island of Corsica, which most people do in spite of their considerable differences. Provence is synonymous with rose wine, and although its percentage is declining, happily according to many wine lovers. Over 50% of Provence wine is rose, or as some might say, pink. Many of its wines are pink and flabby, but others are not. The region is home to dozens of grape varieties, often not found elsewhere. With an average of three thousand hours of sun a year, it is no surprise that many Provence wines taste baked.

One secret to making fine tasting wine is limiting its production. The Bandol AOC reviewed below and its high-quality neighbors are capped by law at 180 cases per acre (40 hectoliters per hectare). In this area growers could double their production, almost without trying. But any gains in quantity would be lost in quality. Voila. Limiting Corsica’s wine output has helped reduce Europe’s famous, or rather infamous, wine lake.

While Provence has many great places to visit, let’s start by honoring this wine’s home town, Bandol, population eight thousand. It’s right on the coast, about thirty five miles (fifty five kilometers) southeast of Marseille and has become quite a tourist attraction. Bandol’s port has a capacity of fifteen hundred sailing vessels which means many, many yachts. It is quite a center for scuba diving and deep-sea fishing. In high season unless you love crowds you are better off visiting the vineyards right outside town.

a Rhone Valley Crozes-hermitage

If you are in the mood for fine French wine and food, why not consider the Rhone Valley region of southeastern France? You may find a bargain, and I hope that you’ll have fun on this fact-filled wine education tour in which we review a Crozes-Hermitage red wine from the northern Rhone Valley.

Among France’s eleven wine-growing regions the Rhone Valley ranks second in acreage. The region extends 125 miles (200 kilometers) along the Rhone River. This region is actually composed of two parts, the north and the south whose wines tend to be quite different. The northern Rhone Valley is quite narrow. Its major red grape variety is Syrah, while its major white variety is Viognier. The northern Rhone Valley produces some of the best red wines in all France, and according to its fan club, some of the best red wines on earth. The southern Rhone Valley produces about 95% of the Rhone Valley wines. This is the kingdom of grape blending. For example the famous Chateauneuf-Du-Pape AOC wine may contain a maximum of thirteen different grape varieties.

Vienne, population about thirty thousand, was a major town in Roman Gaul and still retains a lot of its history and its charm. Near the river you’ll find the Romanesque church of St-Pierre already rebuilt in the Ninth Century. The Gothic Cathedral of St-Maurice was built during the Eleventh to Sixteenth Centuries and largely destroyed in a religious war during the mid-Sixteenth Century. Rue des Orf?es (Goldsmiths’ Street) is filled with Renaissance buildings and the Romanesque church St-Andre-le-Bas (St. Andrew the Lesser).

Vienne’s Theatre Romain (Roman Theater) is one of the largest in France; it spans almost 450 feet (140 meters) and once held thirteen thousand spectators. Excavation started only in 1922. This theater hosts a great jazz festival in July. Other Roman ruins include the Temple d’Auguste et de Livie (Temple of Augustus and Livia) erected by the Emperor Claudius and the Plan de l’Aiguille (Needle Tower), a truncated pyramid that was once part of a Roman circus. Some say that this structure encloses the tomb of Pontius Pilate.

wineThe Top Three Wine Gift Ideas

Posted by Aziz Devje Comments (1)

Regardless of the occasion, there are certain things you can do to make your wine gift even more appealing. Unfortunately, you will not be able to take advantage of these wonderful opportunities when you visit your local liquor store. That said, if you take just a few moments to search online, you will uncover some of the best wine gift ideas. When you take advantage of these opportunities, you can create a beautiful, inexpensive, personalized gift with a minimal amount of effort.

Wine Gift Baskets

Many people planning on a romantic evening, or even an afternoon picnic often pack a bottle of wine for the occasion. Today, there are many other reasons why you might want to give someone a gift basket that includes wine. In fact, if you are wondering about the perfect gift for a holiday, birthday, or wedding anniversary, wine gift baskets can easily be adapted to your needs. Without a question, you will enjoy being able to select from baskets that include cheese and meat, as well as ones that include flowers and fruit. Once you find the perfect wine basket online, you can have peace of mind knowing that it will be shipped to any address that you select. Why go through all of the effort to try and assemble this type of gift locally, when an online wine merchant can take care of the entire process for you?

Custom Wine Labels

If you adore custom tote bags, pens, and T-shirts, then you can easily appreciate the value of wine bottles with custom labels on them. Consider a situation where you want to give someone a house warming present. Within just a few moments, you can choose tasteful label that includes the recipient’s name, as well as any message that suits you. At the same time, if you selected a bottle of champagne, or a fine vintage, you can rest assured that it will taste just as good with the new label on it.

Wine and Gift Sets

Even though wine may be an important part of everyday life, it is always best to consume it in a social setting. Many people enjoy a good glass of wine during a chess game, poker game, or some other gathering. Today, you can find wine gifts sets that include everything from a chess board to poker cards. Typically, these sets also include two wine glasses, and the requisite bottle of wine. If you, or someone you know enjoys sharing a good bottle of wine along with a friendly game, these gifts sets will be an ideal purchase.

There is no question that Europeans have made use of wine for centuries in order to celebrate an endless number of holidays and other occasions. Perhaps it can be said that wine is every bit as much a social beverage as coffee and tea. As a result, if you want to give someone a perfect gift, a customized bottle of wine may be your best option to make a good impression.
