A Oregon Wine Artilce for Your Viewing

Beer, Wine and Your Bones


If you like the taste of a good brew, then here is some good news! In a recent research study of over 2,900 women and men, researchers found that beer, which contains silicon, may promote bone health. Silicon is a mineral that is thought to stimulate collagen production, which is a building block in bone formation. Wine is rich is phytochemicals, which may also benefit bones. Research does not show, however, in the battle of the sexes, that beer or wine has better or less results in either men or women. In a recent WebMD interview, Katherine Tucker, PhD says that it is possible that two glasses of wine could benefit men, while women may get a bone boost from two cans of beer. Another study of 2,847 people from the Framingham Osteoporosis Study found that men and pre-menopausal women who drank the most silicon, about 40 mg a day, had the highest bone mineral density, a measurement of bone health. Silicon is rarely listed on food labels, so it is hard to tell exactly how much you are consuming. But, you can estimate that one 12-ounce beer has approximately 7 mg of silicon.

It is important is that you drink any alcoholic beverage in moderation because while two cans of beer or two 6 ounce glasses of wine may be good for promoting bone growth, drinking more is harmful. The not-so-good news is that if you drink distilled beverages such as vodka or Scotch, daily consumption of these beverages has shown to actually promote osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a bone-wasting disease that makes your bones brittle and more prone to breaks. The disease increases with age and is more common in women than men, especially postmenopausal women.

Drinking red wine has also shown to be linked to heart health. So, what we are seeing now is a diet that is good for the heart and another that is good for the bones. Because good nutrition is good for the heart, you can consider it good for the bones as well. Other studies have shown that good nutrition also plays a significant role in brain health.

So, how much beer or wine is good for your bones? Current recommendations are for two drinks a day for men and one drink a day for women. So, don't jump and run to a keg party quite yet, remember that moderation is best.

Now, if you are not a beer or wine drinker, don't start now just to promote bone growth. There are other ways to get silicon, and let us not forget that alcohol consumption raises other health risks such as osteoporosis itself. So, if you are interested in a healthier way to introduce silicon into your diet, you will want to eat dates, mangoes, melons, spinach, apples and even some bottled mineral waters will be good sources.

Our view Barack Obama faces a diplomatic test. But, if the United Nations Decolonisation committee will entertain a submission for cessation from a group of ethnic people against a government in which they have no mandated representation but which is levying them taxes, there could be a case for the chiefs of Vanua Levu to press for it and then have the various Marine Spaces Act, and other legislations that govern marine spaces, archipelagic waters, contiguous fishing and exclusive economic zon

By FX Insights, To my knowledge, never since the introduction of the euro currency in 1999 has there ever been a larger, more pronounced one week sell-off like we had last week. The entire week last week we emphatically discouraged traders from buying the euro and to stay short. The big question on every trader’s mind is – where do we go from here?

Charms aren't just for wine...Get them for your grill!

Filed under: Barbecuing Wine glass charms are one of those oft-forgotten saviors from long, drawn-out examinations of lip prints to figure out whose wine is whose. But I'm really surprised that it hasn't really moved beyond the long-stemmed glassware -- until now. Did you know that you can buy Grill Charms to properly mark your steak before throwing it on the grill? The stainless steel charms are serrated, so you just pop one in and grill and flip like usual.

Wine Making Gifts


There are many wine enthusiasts who have often toyed with the idea of making their own wine. For such people, the ideal gift is a wine making kit. Wine making kits have grown in popularity over the years as they are less labor intensive than making wine from fresh grapes. It also helps people to have a taste of wines from the different regions in the world, as there are many kinds of wines which are not easily available in North America.

Making one's own wine is also less expensive and ideal for those who are interested in wines, but lack the financial resources. To cite an example, if ones wants to make a five-gallon batch of wine, almost 90 pounds of grapes will be required, which could cost as little as $100 or as high as $400, depending upon the grape quality. Wine making kits that yield the same volume run anywhere from $40 to $100. Many kits include a variety of paraphernalia which aid the first time wine maker, such as recipes, manuals, precautions, and other important instructions. In fact, these kits prove to be a great gift either for novice wine makers as it helps them learn the art of wine making or, for wine experts as it enables them to enhance their knowledge about wine making.

Generally, four different types of wine making kits are available in the market. These are pure juice kits, fully concentrated grape juice kits, partially concentrated grape juice kits and mixed kits, which combine both juice and concentrate. The method of wine making doesn't really differ in these kits. Perhaps, the only difference is that the pure juice kits require no additional water. The prices of these kits vary with the purity of the product. Pure juice kits are more expensive than the concentrate or mixed kits, not only due to their purity but also due to the costly transport (they weigh more than concentrate or mixed kits) and storage requirements (they must be refrigerated).

A Look at Wine Glass Racks


Any wine collection is not complete without a collection of wine glasses with which to drink the wine. Wine glass racks can store your stemware easily and elegantly. Not only will a wine glass rack save cabinet space, but it will also help keep the wine glasses dust-free.

Any wine collection is not complete without a collection of wine glasses with which to drink the wine. Wine glass racks can store your stemware easily and elegantly. Not only will a wine glass rack save cabinet space, but it will also help keep the wine glasses dust-free.

For a small wine and wine glass collection, consider buying a wine rack and glass combination. These cost under $50 and hold around six bottles of wine and a modest wine glass collection. Serious wine collectors should avoid hanging the rack in the kitchen because wine should be kept in cool, dark areas without strong odors. By the way, you should never store wine on a refrigerator. It spoils the wine.

Separate wine glass racks are more practical for wine collectors who have a large collection of wine glasses and want to keep them separate from the wine. Simple wood racks are available to attach underneath a kitchen cabinet. They hold around 20 glasses and cost under $25.

More elaborate wine glass racks can be displayed. Metal racks with grape designs are appropriate for most dcors. Many have shelves above the wine glass racks. You could store accessories here like collector glasses, wine buckets, cozies, a cork collection, or bottle openers. Many cost under $50, but a steel, contemporary wine glass rack can cost over $100.

Online wine cellar suppliers sell wine glass racks with their wine storage collections. These let you design your own storage system with wine racks, tabletops for tasting wine, and wine glass racks.

Specialty wine suppliers sell many wine glass racks, but you can also buy them from chain home stores and organizational stores. Dont be afraid to buy a cheap wine glass rack and then customize it with paint or detailing.
