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.

Today's Wine Making Article

Cava Wines



Cava is a quality sparkling white wine produced in Northern Spain using the
"method champenoise", in other words the method of a secondary fermentation
in the bottle such as is used for Champangne. In fact the Spanish
wanted their Cava Wines to be known as "champan",the Spanish translation for champagne,
but after legal battles with the French, who claimed that this name could only be
applied to wines made in the Champagne area of France, the name Cava
was decided upon.


Cava is the Catalan for cave and it is from this area that most of
these delightful bubbly Spanish wines are produced. However Cava wines are unique
because unlike other "Denominacion de Origen" regions in Spain it is
not restricted to one particular demarcated area, and in addition to
Catalyuna it is also produced in D.O. Rioja, D.O. Navarra and D.O. Aragon.
That said however some 95% of Cava wines comes form the D.O. Penedes
in the region of Catalyuna.


After the first fermentation the wine is then bottled with a temporary cork
and stored in a horizontal position. For the wine to be classed as Cava it
must be in contact with the lees for a minimum of 9 months but this can
often be as long as 2 years. At the end of this period comes the disgorgement
process when the wine is cleaned of the yeast sediment by removing the
cork, any liquid lost at this time is replaced by wine of the year either sweet or dry
depending on the preference of the producer. The final cork is then put
in and the wine goes for labelling and despatch.


The production of Cava Wines is rigorously controlled
by the Consell Regulador del Cava to ensure that the resulting
sparkling wines are of the highest quality. The main grapes used
are Macabeu,xarello, Parellada and more recently some Chardonny varieties.



Today cava wines are receiving worldwide recognition as quality sparkling
wines suitable for many occasions and satisfying most paletes.They come
in dry,sweet and brut varieties and represent very good value for money.
