An Introduction To Wine Gifts


Wine is a perfect gift for all kinds of holidays and special occasions. It has long been known as a symbol of joy, festivity and abundance.



In ancient Egypt, wine was used in ceremonies and religious rituals. Wine was often offered to the pharaohs when they died as one of their provisions for the afterlife. In the Christian bible, wine symbolized joy or God-caused intoxication in many stories.



Vintage wines are among the best wines you can give as gifts to wine lovers. This type of wine is made from grapes harvested on the year indicated on the label. Vintage wines are generally better than other wines that are a blend of wines made from several years. As they get older, their taste gets finer ? and that?s why they are more expensive than other wines.



Red wines are also excellent gifts. They are proven to be good for the health. Researches show that red wines have antioxidants that help prevent diseases, especially cancers and heart ailments.



To make your gift more unique, you can personalize the label of the wine. There are wine stores that offer these services for a fee. You can also buy gift sets that include a bottle of wine and wine glasses to go with it ? making it very special.



For a wine enthusiast, anything about wine can be very interesting and can definitely be a source of sheer joy. If extraordinary wines are too expensive for you, give wine-related gifts such as books about wines. Whatever your choice, remember that it?s the thought that counts the most. Whether your gift is an expensive vintage wine or a simple wine accessory, it will surely be appreciated.

Wine Racks for Storing Wines



To prevent wine bottles from being broken and to store wine in a cool, dark place you need wine storage racks. Storage racks allow you to organize your wine collection and keep it safe and sound. Wine racks also make it possible to display a great collection of wine bottles to others.


There are many kinds of wine storage racks available on market. You have to see how many bottles you need to store at a time and then choose a rack accordingly. You can even have a wine rack made especially for you, with your own customizations regarding color, size and dimensions. If you want to build a wine cellar in your house, then you can hire professional people to build custom-made wine racks for the cellar. These kinds of racks usually take up an entire wall and allow a large amount of wine to be stored in them.


Many wine storage racks have enough space to hold cases of wine as well as individual bottles. Some wine racks offer individual shelves and bin shelves designed to hold only one bottle at a time. This way you dont need to sift through bottle after bottle to look for the one you need.


There are online wine rack stores that allow you to browse through numerous wonderful-looking storage racks and decide for the one that best suits your needs. Most designer racks are made of either metal or wood. While purchasing online you will also come across special discount offers and other bonuses. You will be able to classify wine racks according to their material, height, width and shape. Decide your budget and buy beautiful wine racks for your great wine collection!


Anyone with a true taste for wine would like to add new brands to his or her collection every now and then, and for that matter there should be a wine rack in the house for storing wine. Storing wine in a safe place like a rack also helps to keep it out of the reach of children and the wine bottles are less likely to be mishandled or broken. There are many kinds of wine racks available out there; you just have to select the one that suits your needs.


There are hanging racks, wall racks and floor racks to choose from. Many wine racks will require you to put the different parts together and make it ready to hang. Wine racks are categorized into wooden and metallic racks.


The wooden ones are usually made of maple with the visual appeal and beauty it holds, in addition to the strength it provides. Wooden racks are more likely to withstand the temperature and humidity levels.


Make sure that the rack you have chosen will allow plenty of space between bottles to ensure air circulation. That will also help to protect the corks from drying out. Wine racks will allow you to arrange the bottles in some definite order. That way you will be able to search for some particular bottles whenever you need them.


There are many online stores that offer beautiful and long-lasting wine racks of many types and colors to let you select the one that appeals to you. Many of these websites offer free shipping and handling. You can even have some expert come to your house and build a customized wine rack for you.

Wine Review | 2007 Waterstone Carneros Chardonnay (The Columbus Dispatch)

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 01:01:26 -0800
This wine offers a somewhat opulent apricot- and peach-tinged chardonnay aroma with just the right amount of oak and flavors to match. It's a big wine that somehow avoids the grotesqueries so common to California wines of this mass.
