A Guide To Contemporary Wine Racks

When traditional just will not suffice, contemporary wine racks are the style you need. With today's housing becoming more modern, bold statements can add zest to a room. Whether you are looking for a wine rack to hold a couple scrumptious bottles of wine or something to hold a more substantial collection, there are always models that will appeal to you.

When selecting contemporary wine racks, it is important to decide if you have the space for freestanding wine racks or if smaller, table top wine racks are best. Freestanding wine racks can take up valuable floor space, but table top wine racks can add bulk to small tables. Hanging wine racks can save space, but they do take up wall or ceiling space. Another important aspect is if you prefer the look of metal, glass, leather, plastic, or wood. Wine racks are available in many woods and metals, so it is best to have an idea of what suits your tastes and needs.

Freestanding contemporary wine racks offer a number of unique attributes. Freestanding racks often blend the functionality of a buffet table with storage for your wine drinking needs. This wine rack can solve all of your tricky storage issues in one shot. Freestanding racks typically contain storage for both wine bottles and wine glasses. In many models, the top opens up revealing hidden storage for wine openers, trivets, and other wine accessories. Contemporary wine racks balance a more modern look with storage space.

Table top racks come in all shapes and styles. Choosing eye-catching table top wine racks adds flair to any kitchen or dining room. Wine racks of this style are intended to form the centerpiece of your dining room table. Push aside your plain salt and pepper shakers and replace them with a stunning wine rack. The majority of these racks hold between three and twelve bottles of wine. When you have a large group of wine drinking friends dining at your house, this type of rack makes it easy to remain at the table while serving another bottle of wine. You do not need to worry about missing conversations while you run to the kitchen to retrieve a new bottle of wine.

Studies show that drinking a glass of red wine daily can be beneficial to your health. Keep a few bottles of wine stored in contemporary wine racks, and enjoy partaking in a glass of a tasty red at dinnertime.

2009 - Dessert Wines

Today's Dessert Wines Article

Why choose organic wine?

What could be a better accompaniment to a meal of organic food than a glass of organic wine? Wine is one of humanity's oldest beverages. It's been used in medicine and religious rituals, and it is all over our social calendars. A lot of research has been made to study its effect on human health. Is it a coincidence that the French, who are second in the world in wine consumption, also have the second lowest occurrence of heart disease?

That alone is a good reason to enjoy a glass of wine. But why select an organic wine over one made with conventional methods?

First, as with all organic food, organic wine is produced without any pesticides, herbicides or insecticides. According to some estimates, seventeen such substances are used in conventional wine grape production, making grapes one of the most heavily sprayed crops. After years of spraying the soil, as well as a season of spraying the grapes, the grapes contain contact as well as systemic pesticides. They may not only harm the plants, the soil, and ultimately the environment, but may also be present in the wine as a residue.

Organic farming promotes "biodiversity" and allows other plants to grow in and around the vineyard. Instead of using chemical substances to eliminate weeds, vintners let them grow. In place of herbicides they cultivate the soil and plant cover crops. They use only natural fertilizers, such as composted animal manure, and cultivate beneficial insects, such as ladybugs, to keep the less-welcome ones away.

Grapes are hand picked, which allow only the ripest and healthiest to be used in wine production. An independent body of certification (accredited by the USDA), has to control each winegrower, once or twice a year, to test if he meets the standards for organic farming.

But being "organic" doesn't stop when the grapes are picked. The winemaking process itself is a factor. Organic wineries keep physical treatment of the wine to a minimum level, although the temperature is controlled throughout.

Further, to call a wine "organic," it must not contain added sulfur dioxide, or sulfites. A natural byproduct of the fermentation process, sulfites are essential to prevent oxidation or bacterial spoilage of the wine. While the U.S. Department of Agriculture allows organic wines contain up to 100ppm of sulfites in the final product, many contain less than that; organic red wine, for example, often contains only 40ppm. Conventional winemakers generally add sulfites, and the sulfite levels of their wines will be twice as high.

Organic wines haven't had a good reputation throughout the years, but you'd be surprised at how far they've come. Add a glass of organic wine to that next organic meal, and make it tasty, heart-healthy, and environmentally friendly.
