Learn About Wine Storage Racks For Home and Commercial Venues



Modern wine storage racks serve many different purposes. They have become more then a mere storage unit for your wine. Now they also serve as a focal point, or as a unique piece of art, which adds sophistication to any setting. Beautiful as well as useful, wine storage racks have gained popularity not only with the individual connoisseur, but also in the commercial setting.



All wine enthusiasts know that the proper care and storage of the bottle is essential in preserving the tannins or taste of the wine and that is why they own a wine storage rack. Without proper storage, the wine can begin to break down, and lose much of its distinct original flavor. The wine storage rack is the answer to proper storage. Moreover, depending on the rack design, multiple bottles can be displayed without utilizing any surface area than a single bottle!



As the wine storage racks built for private use, commercial wine racks have also morphed into elegant displays. Many restaurants prominently display their racks behind the bar, whereas wine racks predominantly were kept behind closed doors. Commercial wine racks can serve multiple purposes. They are very efficient and safe for storing unopened bottles of wine. In addition, they are aesthetically pleasing and a sale point to the customer.



A well placed wine rack acts as its own menu. The customer can see the selection, thus creating an increase in sales, since most purchases are made by an attraction. The commercial wine rack helps market the wine itself thru this attraction. With the proper wine storage rack, labels on bottles are easily visible, selection is obvious and quantity is easy to ascertain.



Wine storage racks are a great addition to any wine enthusiasts abode, whether to be used at home or in a restaurant for commercial purposes. They are both functional and decorative. Both individual wine racks and commercial wine racks are customizable. They are no longer just a stack of square boxes, but come in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes to suit any need or desire. Wine storage racks ensure proper storage for your wine. They are convenient to use, and a great value for your money.

Strauss: The Best of Vienna


Customer Review: Love this 2-CD from Vienna Philharmonic!

My favorite collection of perfectly choreographed Johann Strauss ll as well as his father Johann Strauss, and his brother Josepf. Johann ll gets top billing.



This is one of my better investments of the most beautiful music you will ever hear (waltzes and polkas).



I can't get enough. Highly Recommended!



Customer Review: Got caught up

I saw a PBS special on Strauss and ran out to purchase. I'm not sure if I was caught up in the PBS hype or just had different expectations.

Preserving Food without Freezing or Canning: Traditional Techniques Using Salt, Oil, Sugar, Alcohol, Vinegar, Drying, Cold Storage, and Lactic Fermentation


Typical books about preserving garden produce nearly always assume that modern "kitchen gardeners" will boil or freeze their vegetables and fruits. Yet here is a book that goes back to the future—celebrating traditional but little-known French techniques for storing and preserving edibles in ways that maximize flavor and nutrition.

Translated into English, and with a new foreword by Deborah Madison, this book deliberately ignores freezing and high-temperature canning in favor of methods that are superior because they are less costly and more energy-efficient.

As Eliot Coleman says in his foreword to the first edition, "Food preservation techniques can be divided into two categories: the modern scientific methods that remove the life from food, and the natural 'poetic' methods that maintain or enhance the life in food. The poetic techniques produce... foods that have been celebrated for centuries and are considered gourmet delights today."

Preserving Food Without Freezing or Canning offers more than 250 easy and enjoyable recipes featuring locally grown and minimally refined ingredients. It is an essential guide for those who seek healthy food for a healthy world.

Customer Review: Awsome

This is the best book that I have read in years. If you are into preparedness and food presevation then this is the book for you. It is chalked full of great nutritional information

Andrea W.

Customer Review: Excellent reference for a lost art

As someone who has a large garden and works at preserving the harvest, I really appreciate these alternative techniques. Many of the recipes are more healthful and quicker than canning and don't require heating up your kitchen on a hot August day. The lacto-fermented recipes alone make the book worth purchasing. An excellent companion to Sally Fallon's classic: "Nourishing Traditions."

Riedel Wine Series Syrah/Shiraz Glasses, Set of 4


Crafted from premium lead-free glass, Riedel's Wine Series is an attractive and functional line of wineglasses, featuring the most popular bowl shapes of the more expensive Vinum collection. The glasses are machine-made in Europe by renowned glassmakers and feature a faceted stem with tiered decorations at the top and base. The thin rims are cut and polished so that wine flows well onto the tongue, and the bowl shapes emphasize bouquet. This set of four glasses is designed to highlight the intense nose, bold flavors, and sweet finish of Shiraz and Syrah wines. A versatile shape, the design is also suitable for serving Amarone, Blau Frankisch, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Grenache, Hermitage Rouge, Malbec, Mourvdre, and Pinotage. Each glass stands a striking 9-3/4 inches high and holds 22-7/8 ounces at full capacity. --Emily Bedard

Customer Review: great service

Product arrived in timely fashion and was exactly what was ordered. Item shipped was packed properly and there was no damage.

Customer Review: Okay, if you like a BIG glass, Vinum line is better

Perhaps my memory doesn't serve me well, because I was the designated driver the last time we toured wine country, but I don't recall them using glasses this BIG for reds. This glass was not suitable as a replacement for my crystal to serve with the china. I was not crazy about the size, weight, clarity and cloverleaf stem. Instead I bought a full set of the Riedel Vinum Zinfandel/Chianti & Riesling glasses at $16 a piece on sale with free shipping (vs these at $10 ea). It's worth the higher quality (24% lead crystal) and more versatile size and shape.

Today's Wine Grape Article

History of Napa Wine



History of Napa Wine:


" Napa" means a land of plenty. This part of world is full of rivers, migrating birds especially waterfowls and the valley of greeneries with plenty of wildcats, elk, black bear and grizzlies. But the most precious asset of this valley is the winegrapes.The early visitors like George Calvert found the valley's wine grape productivity skill. He took the initiative to harvest wine grapes in this valley in 1836.The other main pioneers of this project were John patchett the first person to plant vineyard commercially along with Hamilton Walker Crabb,who researched with over 400 species of grape.


The wine grape revolution was further carried by Charles Krug who started the winery business in 1861 and according to the statistics there were almost 150 wineries working commercially by 1889.Some earlier wineries were Schramsberg (founded in 1862), Beringer (1876) and Inglenook (1879).As the life is not always the bed of roses, the rapid growth of wine industry faced the prices crash problem and the phylloxera - a North American species of insects gave a stunning blow to the vintners by attacking the wide areas of wine grape.


Wine Prohibition and its after effect:


The bigger threat faced by the Napa Valley's wine business in 1920, with the enactment of Prohibition. All vineyards were


Dissipated by the owners and winemakers switched to other businesses for next 14 years. Some surviving wineries were operating on Sacramental wine production. As a whole, the wine market of Napa Valley was flopped down. With the withdrawal of prohibition in 1933, the renaissance of Napa wine commenced with an era of recovery and followed by fabulous growth.


Early Vintners in Napa Valley:


The wine history of Napa Valley witnessed another turning point in early 1940; when a band of vintners meet together to share their own concepts on grape harvesting and wine marketing under a friendly atmosphere with some good food and wine. This group established an association of Napa Valley Vintners, a driving chamber of commerce devoted for the advancement of Napa wine both in the country and abroad.


Napa Wine Growers:


The grape growers of Napa Valley were not so organised before mid-70's.But things were changed in 1975 when Napa Valley growers joined their hands with the vintners to reach the common goal of advancing the Napa Wine throughout the world.


Charity:


A new face of Napa wine revealed in early 1980's when the Napa Valley auction was first time sponsored in Meadowood resort. Since then, this vintner's fraternity-sponsored Napa Valley wine and food festival has become the most successful charity wine event. Participants from different part of the world used to come here and celebrate the fest. More than $60 million fund has been raised for the benefit of health, social affairs and youth programmes.


These days' total 300 wineries are operating in Napa Valley and both the growers and vintners are implementing all the contemporary technologies blended with age-old methods.


Roles played by the Vintners to make Napa Wine popular:


The vintners are a local business group with an effective participation of more than 290 wineries, presenting the heritage of vintners and grape growers - working and wooing for the development of this wine producing region.


The vineyards have been part of the Napa Valley for over 160 years. The first vineyards was planted in 1836 and the Napa town was established in 1848,at that time there were 70,000 vineyards which enhanced to 2,00,000+ by 1860.Wines from Inglenook, Charles Krug, Beringer and others received the international fame in the late 19th century.


The original activists of Napa Valley vintner's fraternity often called themselves as a "food-loving and drinking society". They set their focus more in hospitality and marketing services of Napa wine across the world. It gives the Napa wine a unique face throughout the world.


Problems and Threats faced by the Napa Wine:


In addition to phylloxera attack and Prohibition in 1929 there were some other problems faced by the Napa wine industries; such as the after war effects on the market. That time the industry was running out of capital, human resources and raw materials. These problems were the reason behind the establishment of Vintners association in 1943.


Official Target of Vintners fraternity:


1. Commitment to the future development of Napa Valley's land, wine and society.


2. Providing a common and unified voice to uphold the interests of the vintners.


3. Meeting challenges threats more actively and invent new ideas to make Napa Wine popular.

Domaine de Jaugaret St. Julien


The Fillastre family has owned this small property in Bourdeaux sin 1654. The Domaine has some of the oldest vines in St. Julien - some of the Malbec vines are well past 100 years old. Mr Fillastre usually ages his wine, which is made from 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 5% Malbec, in oak barrells for 28 months to 3 years creating a huge wine! When asked to describe his wine Mr. Fillastre says, "It is good." We on the other hand describe this French wine as having a brilliant ruby color with a nose of ripe burnt fruit and spice along with coffee and tobacco. The palate has richness, structure with wonderful finesse and elegance. We believe this dry red wine is a truly great find for our customers. Great gift! DJSJ00 DJSJ00
