A wide variety of materials and designs are incorporated into modern produced wine racks. Impressive display capabilities are coupled with the ability to help in the aging process. A good deal of thought should go into determining where the wine will be stored in order to choose the perfect storage system.

Wine Storage

Proper storage involves reduction of light, temperature and vibration. These are all factors that can lessen the quality and taste. Metal material is a frequent choice in counter and tabletop wine-display. Wood seems to be the better choice for basement and cellar storage.

Quality frames offer durable storage that comfortably rests each bottle on its side. This keeps the cork from drying out and allowing air to access the bottle. The taste of wine is easily altered with environmental odors.

Metal

Metal units made of wrought iron, stainless steel, cast or chrome seem to match many modern decorating themes. The metals can easily be manipulated into intricate, flexible and strong designs.

Counter and table wine-display requires the durable and stable construction that metal offers. Wood is much more sensitive to humidity and temperature than metal. This allows for storing regularly consumed wines without the worry of damage from environmental conditions.

Glass

Glass racks are normally etched with designs that vary from complicated to classically simple. They are an innovative way to add an elegant touch to any room.  Read more...

After several years and considerably more than one hundred fifty wine reviews this is our first review of a nearly 0 wine. Before you say that you’ll never spend so much money on a single bottle of wine, please note that 0 may get you four movie theatre tickets, popcorn, soft drinks, and maybe an order or two of nachos. A 0 bottle of wine may be quite a memorable experience. Or maybe it won’t.

We start this series with an Italian red introduced in 1971 by Piero Antinori, the head of a famous Tuscany winemaking family. At that time all across Italy winemakers had to follow very strict, detailed governmental winemaking regulations, or their wine would be denied an official classification. Many winemakers felt handcuffed by such regulations, and knew they could make better wines by following their own instincts. Tuscany was a major center of dissident winemakers and the reviewed wine was known as a Super Tuscan, one that carried no official government designation. In the ensuing winemaking revolution many Super Tuscans and other such wines have become very successful and carry quite a price tag to match. And the winemaking regulations were updated.

In the interest of historical accuracy, Tignanello was not the first Super Tuscan. This honor goes to Sassicaia first produced in 1948 by Antinori’s cousins who used Bordeaux Cabernet Sauvignon grapes said to have come from Chateau LaFite-Rothschild. Because Sassicaia starts at about 5 we will just have to be satisfied trying the Tignanello.  Read more...

In the year 1855, the popular classification of Bordeaux wine was introduced. This classification was dependent on the product’s quality, reputation and trading price. This classification of premium wine still exists today and wine from the Bordeaux region is the most craved for in the world. So, beyond doubt a Bordeaux wine investment would be a wise decision from any investor.

The Bordeaux wine classification system is strictly adhered to making it the first point of call for any serious wine investor. This put together with the limited supplies in the market around the globe makes it an ideal investment opportunity. The limitation is also affected with the raw products and crops that are used to create premium wines. Naturally, these crops are dependent on the weather conditions during their growth which also adds to the rarity of a good year.  2005 for instance experienced great weather conditions contributing to an outstanding vintage. So, Bordeaux wine investment is undeniably a flourishing option to be added in an investor’s portfolio.

For those who think that that Bordeaux wine investment is risky can not be further from the truth. Actually the wine investment market is made up of 90% Bordeaux wines. Generally wine does not attract capital gains tax as it is considered a wasting asset by the revenue. It is better to invest in a few bottles of more expensive wine of an older vintage than a lot of the newer wines due to the storage costs involved which will cut out of the profits of the wine.  Read more...
