A Guide To Home Wine Racks

A Home winerack....

Home wine racks make storing wine a breeze. With a home winerack, you can conveniently store several bottles or tens of bottles right in your pantry, on the wall, on a kitchen table or countertop, or in the basement or wine cellar if you have one. In short, they are versatile and accomodating.

They are generally made out of either hardy woods, like cedar, fir or pine. Some of the best home wine racks are made out of metal. Wine bottles require proper care. To preserve the wine itself, bottles should be stored in a sturdy, elevated unit, which is placed in a dry environment, like a pantry or cellar. If you don't plan to store the wine for years and consume it soon after you buy it, then storing it right in the kitchen is perfectly fine.

Today's economical home winerack is often made with conserving space in mind. You no longer need to worry about having ample cellar space; you can create an instant cellar right in your pantry. Therefore, if you are looking for a durable, safe, storage unit for your wine collection, a home winerack is ideally suited for you.

Home wine racks come in an array of sizes. A wooden wine rack is stackable, so it can grow along with your collection. You can create an instant cellar in a matter of minutes with easy to construct units. Moreover, a wood home winerack is suitable for staining or painting, so you can customize it to match your existing home d?cor. Every wine rack comes with complete easy to understand instructions, necessary hardware and the promise that it will make your wine storage more convenient, while taking up less space.

Metal wine racks can add an artistic element to displaying your wine selection. Presentation is an important element in any entertaining event. Create a greater sense of class by displaying bottled wine in a spiraling wine tree or sculpture instead of just lined up on the bar. It is sure to make for added conversation.

Home wine racks are easy to assemble, and many are priced with your budget in mind. Regardless if you are looking for an elegant display or proper storage for your wines, a home winerack is the answer, for both the serious wine connoisseur and beginner.

Today's Dessert Wine Article

The Flavor And Goodness Of Red Wine

Red wine is a popular drink in the US and considering that there are over 600 million gallons of wine sold there each year it's good to know that it has health benefits too.

The making and drinking of wine goes back thousands of years, in fact, remnants of wine found in a jar dating back to 5400 B.C. have been found in modern day Iran. And of course, the Egyptians partook of this tasty drink as a jar buried in the tomb of King Tut attests. Other Egyptian artifacts show that from at least 2500 B.C. many of the upper class enjoyed a glass (or clay goblet) every so often.

Red wine is more full bodied than white wine and has a distinct flavor due to the increase in tannins contained in the wine. When red wine is made, the grapes stay in the skin for a longer time which makes more tannins which result in the heartier taste and darker color.

The tannins are also what makes red wine have health benefits that white wine does not possess. This is because the skin of the grape has a natural antioxidant called resveratrol. Resveratrol is a flavonoid which research has shown can decrease aging in cells. This anti-aging property helps to keep your arteries healthy and aids in boosting the immune system. Some even claim that red wine can play a role in preventing cancer. And you don't need to drink a gallon to get the benefits either - just ? - 1 glasses a day for women and 1-2 glasses for men will do the trick.

There are many different varieties of red wine made all over the world today.
France has long been the favorite country of origin, although California has been making a fair showing in the past few decades. The Bordeaux region of France produces Cabernet - the "mother of all red wines," and also some fine Merlots. France's Rhone Valley rivals Australia in making Shiraz while the Burgundy region produces great Pinot Noirs.

In America, California is well known for it's quality Cabernets, Merlots, and Zinfandels which are grown in the Napa and Sonoma Valleys. Oregon and Washington are also making their mark with wonderful Pinots and Merlots.

To serve red wine, let it get to about 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Open it at least ? hour before serving to let it "breathe". This will help to release pent up gasses and add flavor to the wine.

And don't let the possibility of spills and stains deter you from enjoying a healthy glass of red wine. If you do spill some, sprinkle the area with salt and then blot until the stain is removed.

Dessert Wine For Your Reading Pleasure

Eggnog, Wassail, Hot Wine -- Oh My!

It is a cold winter night outside while inside a group of family and good friends is clustered around a crackling fire, thinking how wonderful the party foods look, tucked here and there throughout the living room. The genial host grandly sets down a huge bowl of Christmas cheer on the table near the fire. What is this? Eggnog! The crowd good-naturedly surges forward as one to the punch bowl, eagerly clamoring for a cup of alcohol-enhanced ambrosia. Such a fantastic tasting experience! If it is eggnog, then we are celebrating the holiday party-filled days between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. Happy times for all are coming.

Reaching back in history to about 1775, eggnog enjoyed popularity on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, from England to America. The word "no" in eggnog is thought to have come from an object known as a "noggin," a small mug made of carved wood. This wooden mug was used to serve drinks to the tavern patrons seated at tables; tankards were used to serve drinks at fireside. (Was this elementary fire protection, assuming the tankards were constructed of metal or some other fire-resistant material?) The eggnog drink itself is descended from a hot British drink known as "posset" which contained eggs, milk, and ale or wine. (Sugar was added some time down the timeline.) Eggnog is used as a toast to ensure everyone's good health in the year to come. It had many silly-sounding (but memorable) names including egg-flip, egg-hot, and of course eggnog.

Eggnog, in the 18th century, was considered a beverage for the well-off. Milk was quite expensive and therefore economically out-of-bounds for most people. When eggnog made its way over to America, it became easily accessible to all classes because of the large numbers of milk cows there. To give the drink a little "oomph," rum was often mixed into the eggnog. Rum was relatively inexpensive compared to other alcoholic drinks and easy to obtain, making it the perfect additive.

American Colonial history dictates that there were at least a few special occasions involving eggnog and high society. In Baltimore, Maryland, etiquette demanded the practice of young men calling upon all their friends on New Year's Day. At each visitation made, the men were offered a cup of eggnog. Not wanting to offend anyone by refusing the proffered cup of cheer, the gents became, in a word, "sloshed" and could barely get back to their own homes.

It was also accepted as doctrine that President George Washington, the Father of America, was an extreme fan of eggnog. He concocted his own version of eggnog which included sherry, rum, and rye whiskey. Only the bravest of his friends were willing to try it.

When thinking about eggnog on a cold winter night, we should always remember the joys of wassail and hot mulled wine, as well as their companion, hot hard cider.

Rather than originally being a drink, wassail first embraced caroling. Some centuries ago, groups of carolers brought cups with them, and while they performed at the doors of the rich, a servant would fill their cups with hot spiced ale, frequently topping off the drink with a floating roasted apple slice.

Hot mulled wine has been popular for centuries. "Mulled" means heated and spiced, making this drink perfect for those cold winter nights. In medieval times, these drinks were named after Hippocrates, the father of medicine, public opinion being that hot wine must be healthier than drinking the polluted water which was available to the masses.

By 1500, cookbooks included various methods of mulling wine. In addition to French wine, honey, cinnamon, cardamon, and galingale (a pungent, aromatic plant related to ginger) were added to the warming mixture. In Victorian England, "Negus," a version of mulled wine, was served to children at their birthday parties. Mulled wine has been a party drink for hundreds of years.

Some mulled wines are similar to today's sangrias, sometimes using white wine in place of red. All sorts of things are added in, including oranges, cloves, twelve spice, and more. Do not forget a couple of sticks of cinnamon.

Last, but certainly not the least, is cider. Its use was known of in England before the time of Christ. The apples used to make the cider were rumored to have come from sacred trees.

There was no such thing as alcohol-free cider in years past. Everyone, including pious clergymen and small children, drank cider as matter of course. The cider was not sweet, as there was no refrigeration available. Modern refrigeration has made sweet (nonalcoholic) cider extremely popular. Alcoholic cider is now known as "hard" cider.

Be sure to buy pasteurized cider for your holiday parties as E. coli can lurk hidden in unpasteurized cider.

To your good health! Cheers! L'chaim! Skoal! Bottoms up! Have a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year.
