Discover Wrought Iron Wine Racks



Wrought iron wine racks are made to last. It takes skilled artisans to design and replicate these metal wine racks. It is important when purchasing wrought iron wineracks that you buy one that is preassembled. This will ensure that the wine rack is properly braced and welded in place.


Many larger dealers that supply decorative wine racks made from iron offer free shipping, because the cost for these wine racks are significantly higher. Wrought iron wine racks are available at a myriad of web sites and stores, thus by shopping around, you can save by purchasing from a company that offers free or discounted shipping.


Decorative wine racks add a sense of style to an otherwise useful item. Many homes do not have the room for a separate wine cellar, and the wrought iron or decorative wine rack is their solution. Because they are stylish, wrought iron wine racks are kept in the open. They act as a display for the bottle and reflect the distinct taste of the host.


Wrought iron wine racks are more durable and easier to clean than traditional wooden wine racks. Simply use mild soap and warm water to clean up any spillage or dust. Iron wine racks will maintain their original luster or finish for many years. They are also usually are mobile, meaning they are not secured or fastened to the counters or wall but because of their weight, they are very stable, and do not topple over easily, giving you peace of mind that your wine display is not going to come crashing to the floor if you bump into it.


In short, the artisans who created decorative wine racks made from wrought iron used the racks own weight and mathematical equations to create a very stable, balanced wine rack without the need for extra hardware.


Decorative wine racks can be used for a number of events. They are great for the everyday dinner, or to properly store several bottles of wine for the next social event. Small wine racks, the ones that hold one or two bottles, are great if placed in the center of tables at reunions, weddings, and other large events. By having the wine tastefully available at each table, the guests are able to fill their glasses at leisure, instead of waiting for the wait staff, which never seem to be around.

Red Wine is Healthy



Is red wine beneficial for health or a potent poison? In the old times Plato said that "nothing more excellent or valuable than wine was ever granted by the Gods to man." Nowadays research suggests that a glass of red wine each day may be providing you with more than just a little relaxation.
The French seem to know something about the health benefits of red wine considering that studies that compared French and German red wines, revealed that the French red wines delivered a greater health benefit due to their higher level of antioxidants. Experts believe that red wine contains certain compounds that help protect the heart. This has opened the door for other researchers to study the components in red wine that may be responsible for its health benefits.
In the last 10 years, thousands of research on red wine showed that moderate intake of this drink improves cardiovascular health. The cardio protective effect has been attributed to antioxidants present in the skin and seeds of red grapes
Based on the research experts advise that the antioxidants, called flavonoids, reduce the risk of coronary heart disease in three ways: by reducing production of low density lipoprotein (the "bad" cholesterol), by boosting high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (the good cholesterol) and by reducing blood clotting.
Furthermore researchers have found that moderate red wine consumption may be beneficial to more than just your heart. One study found that the antioxidant resveratrol, which is prevalent in the skin of red grapes, may inhibit tumour development in some cancers. Another study indicated that resveratrol aided in the formation of nerve cells, which experts believe may be helpful in the treatment of neurological diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
The most recent studies on red wine presented at the American Association for Dental Research (AADR) annual meeting, in Orlando, Florida by the Canadians show that Red wine polyphenols may help fight gum disease. V. Houde, M. Boisvert and their colleagues from University Laval in Canada investigated the role of polyphenols, including those from red wine, in scavenging free radicals released by immune cells stimulated with components of bacteria causing periodontal diseases. Free radicals are believed to be at least partly responsible for the development of gum disease and are generated by immune cells during periodontitis. In order to have healthy gums it is important to that free radicals are maintained at low levels. Their results indicated that red wine polyphenols significantly modulate several inflammatory components released by macrophages (a population of host immune cells) in response to bacterial stimuli.

Fruit Wine Items For Viewing

Ch Croix de Labrie - St. Emilion


"There are only 9,000 bottles of the big, blockbuster 2000. This dry red wine from France boasts superb purity along with the essence of cassis and black cherry liqueur-like fruit intermixed with graphite and new oak notes. Sweet, layered, and luxuriously rich, with a wealth of fruit and glycerin, this stunning Saint Emilion should be drinkable young, yet age nicely for 15+ years. This Chateau is the ultimate garage wine, or as the French call it, vin de salon, since the five-barrel production is kept in proprietor Puzio's living room! This is great stuff, but nearly impossible to find. Does anybody out there have some to sell?" RP-94 (Subject to Availability) CRDL00 CRDL00

Kosher Wine For Your Reading Pleasure

Wine Tasting - Is It Really An Art?



In the last of our series on wines we're going to discuss an area that quite frankly few people know anything about.


Wine tasting.


Most people would probably think, what is there to tasting a wine? You take a sip, swish it around in your mouth and then swallow. Tastes either good or bad. Right?


Well, not exactly. There is actually an art to wine tasting and in this article we're going to cover the basics of just how to taste wine and determine just how good or bad it is.


Let's start with exactly why we do swish the wine around in our mouth when we taste it. At first it was thought that the reason we do this is because we thought that different areas of the tongue detected different flavors. Actually, this is not the case.


The front and back of the tongue have taste buds, but they don't specialize in a particular taste sensation. All taste buds can detect sour, sweet, bitter and salty flavors. In order to get the most out of your taste buds you swish the wine in your mouth so that all your taste buds, including your sense of smell, get involved in the detection of the finer flavors of the wine.


What a lot of people also don't realize is that much of what we taste is actually because of our sense of smell. Think about it. How good does your food taste to you when you eat while having a bad cold? Many times you can hardly taste anything at all. Medical science has actually determined that 75% of what we taste if because of our sense of smell.


Wine tasting itself is an art and while a lot of it is subjective wine tasters do follow some general rules or guidelines when judging how good a wine actually is. Learning these techniques is very easy and if you already like wine then that makes it even easier.


There are 3 steps in wine tasting


1. Look. They say you can tell a lot about a wine just by the way it looks. To look at a wine you should pour it into a clear glass in front of white background like a tablecloth, napkin or piece of paper. This makes it easy to examine the color. As for the color itself, white wines are actually green, yellow or brown. The more color usually indicates more flavor. Red wines are not just red. They can be pale red to deep brown. While a red wine improves with age the opposite is true for white wines.


2. Smell. Smell the wine. You do this in two steps. First you take a quick whiff to get a general idea of the smell and then take one very deep whiff. This will give you a better idea of the smell. After doing this wine tasters sit back and think about the smell for a long while before actually tasting it.


3. Taste. Finally, taste the wine. To do this you take a small sip and swish the wine around in your mouth. You then think about the taste. Is it light or rich or smooth or harsh. And then after the initial taste there is the aftertaste. How long did it last? Was it pleasant or was it a bitter aftertaste?


After the above steps many wine tasters assign a point score to each step. This ultimately is how they evaluate the wine and determine if it is a quality wine. Expert tasters say the more you do this the better you get at it.
