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.

Grandpa and the Great Depression, Part 2

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 03:05:46 -0800
Back in April, my wife’s grandfather wrote an interesting post about his life during the Great Depression. He recently sent me a sequel. It picks up right where Part 1 left off and goes through World War II. After a few years, the wine and tank business slowed down and I was out of work. I got an auto dealer route with the Examiner newspaper. It was made up of 2 or 3 kid’s routes put together. It was quite a bit of work but it was enough to keep a single guy who lived at home with his parents

The title of the book above pretty much sums up my feelings about a Bee tamale tasting last week. "Too Many Tamales" is a childrens book by the wonderful author/poet Gary Soto. He also penned one of my favorite poems, an achingly lyrical piece called "The Elements of the San Joaquin" which harkens back to Soto's days laboring in the farmland near Fresno. But back to the subject at hand: tamales. We tasted a dozen or so tamales for Wednesday's Food & Wine cover story, and by the end of this s

January 2009 - Wine Bottle

A Wine Bottle Artilce for Your Viewing

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.
