Tips on Making Affordable Wine Recipes


One of the great things about wine on a date is that one bottle is a defined amount, normally about five glasses. If shared equally it is unlikely that you will fall off your chair drunk after half a bottle of wine!

Wines have become a household word and most households today have access to reasonably priced wine. Drinking wine doesn't just provide people with comfort during winter or cold weather but they also provide health benefits to the young and old alike.





A glass of red wine a day is said to prevent Alzheimer?s and Parkinson?s disease. It's also a preventive measure against diarrhea and food poisoning. These claims are slowly being corroborated by scientific evidence, all leading to the healthful effects of moderate wine intake.

Wine Tasting for beginners





Research show that while the French eat more fat than their American counterparts, the French have fewer incidents of heart attacks. Some people attribute this to the French?s propensity for drinking wine during mealtimes. A study done by the Copenhagen City Heart Study claimed that people who consume a moderate amount of wine a day have higher chances of living a long and healthy life.





Experts agree that the flavonoid, tannin and other contents of red wine are responsible for increasing the level of good cholesterol while decreasing the level of bad cholesterol, and thereby preventing strokes and heart attacks.





People who have money to spare can get the health benefits offered by moderatley drinking wine. How about those who can't afford to buy expensive wines? While not all good wines are expensive, there is a way to enable those with tight budgets to have their wine, and drink it too!

Sparkling wine can make you appear a little pretentious or if you go for a cheaper version, a tightwad; so this is usually best avoided. If you are not sure whether your companion likes wine at all, ros? wine is often a safe option as it often lacks the sharpness that people commonly dislike in wines.

The basics of wine making





There are many wine recipes that are available for free. Win e-making doesn't really require sophisticated laboratory materials. Wine can even be made using ordinary household ingredients and materials.





The basic ingredients in making wine include grape juice, sugar, water and yeast. The basic materials needed are a container for the wine, balloons and a pin, measuring cup and a funnel.





The said ingredients are used in making basic wine. Like any other recipe, there are modifications that can make your wine more flavorful and interesting. Adding raisins and almond to regular wine, with some ingredient modifications, can make your wine not only better-tasting but more exotic. The same thing happens when you try to mix apple, banana or other fruit ingredients to the basic wine.





You can experiment on making wines as a hobby. However, once you have perfected your wine recipes, this might be the start of a new career in entrepreneurship. So why not create your own wine recipes so you can drink your own wine and sell it too?





If you are really not sure what to choose, why not offer your companion a choice of glasses as an aperitif while you have a beer or spirit. This way you can judge your companion's taste. Even if they select a spirit, you can still get a measure of whether they prefer sweet or dry wines.

Vine Products we recommend

Phoenix Napa Sangiovese Blood of Jupiter


People that know great Sangiovese love the Phoenix "Blood of Jupiter" wine. We used longer skin contact during fermentation than we have in the past with this variety (up to 23 days total), which helped capture the essence of the grape by extracting more color and other compounds from the grape skins. These options were made possible due to a growing season that provided grapes which were almost perfectly ripened when finally harvested. A slightly shorter barrel aging period with this vintage helped to capture the intensity of the fruit characters. Jeff Morgan of the Wine Spectator wrote "Bright raspberry, cherry, and spice flavors lead the way in this juicy, fruity wine, which is tempered nicely by herbal notes, good acidity and firm tannins...Fun to drink".

Wine Racks


Collecting wines is an exciting and interesting hobby. Most wines increase in quality and become rarer as they age. For these reasons, they get more valuable. A single bottle of vintage wine can be worth more than $1000. One can make a fortune out of colleting and selling high quality and vintage wines. But for someone who simply loves to drink wine, collecting wine brings no less than pure joy. Whether you are dreaming or planning to have a grand wine cellar or just a simple wine collection, wine collecting starts by finding a place to store your treasured collection of wines.



You will need a wine rack that can be smaller and simpler in design to start. Bottles are placed in a horizontal position so that the cork won?t dry out and allow air to get into the bottle. Should you need a wine rack that holds more than 12 bottles of vine, make sure that the shelves are big enough to accommodate various sizes and heights of wine bottles.



Wine racks can be made of wood (mostly pine wood) or metal. The simplest design has groups of metal slats attached to a square and wooden rods. This type of wine rack is advisable if you lack space, since you can just add another layer of metal slats on top as your collection of wine grows. This kind of wine rack, is very traditional, and may not be attractive to guests. Choosing ornate and stylish metal wine racks can serve your purpose very well, especially if you intend to display your wines. Metal racks are not only stylish but are very durable. They are mostly made of steel with sleek plating. Some are also painted with long lasting powder coatings and electro coatings. Higher quality metal racks are made of stainless steel that is corrosion-free. In order to be sure that you are getting the exact kind of wine rack that you need for your collection of wines, it would be better for you to consult wine connoisseurs or go to a wine and wine accessories store that can tell you all the do?s and don?ts in choosing a wine rack.
