I hope you haven’t allowed the ‘rituals’ of wine tasting to keep you from exploring many types of wine. Learning about and trying different types of wine can really be a lot of fun. It can be a nice way to spend an evening with friends and family sharing a bottle of wine that you just discovered.

The rituals really do serve a purpose and aren’t that hard once you understand what they are and why wine drinkers do them.

One of the most intimidating rituals is the wine tasting. This might look weird to someone who isn’t that interested in wine but it really can help you to not only get the most satisfaction from your wine, but also to learn how to describe wine so that the next time you want to buy a bottle you will have an easier time conveying what you are looking for.

Wine tasting is made up of 3 major steps. No one expects you to be an expert but you can easily learn enough to follow these steps the next time you are trying some wine.

Louis Sipp Sylvaner 2007 12.5% alcohol about $14.50

Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials.
Description: Louis Sipp is a member of Tyflo, an association of Alsatian winegrowers who are keen to lessen the impact of their activities on the environment, and to market healthy products. Currently, the vineyards are in the process of conversion towards full organic certification.
Tasting Note: Louis Sipp shows what can be done with Sylvaner when care is taken with each and every step of production. This one contains bright aromas of lime, spring flowers and mineral. Dry and crisp, this has a very tasty finish. Enjoy with grilled prawns or poached salmon. (VINTAGES panel, July 2008) And now for my review.

The first sips were too acidic. My mouth came close to puckering. The initial food pairing involved a barbecued chicken breast with potatoes roasted in chicken fat and a spicy salsa. The chicken definitely improved the wine. I tasted some lime but the Sylvaner continued to be overly acidic. Perhaps surprisingly, even the potatoes’ grease didn’t cut the wine’s acidity. The salsa succeeded in taming its excessive acidity but the wine only displayed a trace of lime to accompany the salsa’s lime.

The second pairing involved a packaged eggplant parmigiana (as close to organic as any of the foods tasted here) covered with grated parmesan cheese. This time the Sylvaner was pleasantly but not overly acidic. Its lime notes were refreshing. I didn’t feel that the wine was fighting the dish’s tomatoes. I was pleased with its touch of sweetness. I finished the meal with a high-quality ice cream bar coated with chocolate. The wine lost its sweetness but managed to keep some of the lime.

The reason you want to swirl is because your tongue has taste buds all over it in the front and back. Each set of taste buds will respond to different flavors. So to get the maximum flavor you have to use all of your taste buds and that’s why you swirl.

Are you looking for a nice bottle of wine to sup, or the perfect accompaniment to that special meal? How about a lovely glass of red, to settle down next to the fire with on a cold winter evening? A quick trip to the off licence and all these desires are met – or are they?

The fact is the answer could soon well be NO purely because there just isn’t one. Surely not, you may be saying, well let’s look at the reasoning behind it:

Firstly there is competition, there are more and more places that you can now sate your wine passion other than the traditional “offie” The two major threats come from the supermarket and the online wine club.

Secondly, cost. Small shops have less buying power and in relation to their size, much greater costs per unit and hence have to charge more to make up the difference and make ends meet.

3. There are lots of different flavours to choose from. Some of the big vodka brands have seen how popular flavoured vodka is, and have launched their own fruit flavoured vodkas. There are also bars that are famous for their flavoured vodka, and regularly update their collection.

4. Flavouring vodka allows flavours not normally associated with drinks to be used. Whereas fruit flavours are quite common in drinks, some vodka lovers are much more inventive. What about birthday cake, or coffee for example?

5. Sweets are a good choice for those looking for different flavours. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, why not look out for Parma Violet, Rhubarb and Custard, or Bubblegum flavours of vodka?

6. Mint flavours such as glacier mints, and famous after dinner mints are a good choice, and will make a change if you’re not a real fan of sweets.

7. Chocolate is another popular flavour. What about a milk chocolate or white chocolate flavoured vodka for a change?

8. For those that aren’t keen on fizzy drinks, or the taste of fruit juice, flavoured versions of vodkas mean that there’s no need for a mixer, so you don’t have to worry about feeling bloated.

9. Cocktails are becoming ever popular, and there are many different recipes to try. Why not see if you can substitute one of your favourite flavours of vodka in your next cocktail?

Beer Making Kits have been around for many years.  The hobby of home brewing has grown tremendously over the last few years.  Some of this is due to the craze and huge growth in the micro – brewed beer market.  The increased awareness of these craft beers has caused many to ask themselves, “Could I make my own beer, and is it hard to make good tasting beer?” There's no question that deciding to brew your own raises many questions.  Some include:

For people who are die hard proponents of organic products, organic wine making should be sulfite free. However, this may be difficult to achieve because sulfites are naturally produced during the fermentation process. So it may really be hard to come up with a bottle of wine with no trace of sulfite. What you can do is to make sure that the wines you produce have minimal amounts of sulfites or do not have added sulfites. It is important to note that sulfites are needed to prevent discoloration and oxidation, which can greatly affect the taste of the wine.

Finding a quality beer making kit will help you address all of these questions.  Plus by finding a brewing kit you aren't stuck wondering if you've forgotten some special brewing equipment.  The biggest names in home brewing kits have been around for many years and have made home brewers out of thousands of people.

These units are capable of controlling the temperature to within 3 degrees Celsius, which is the normal range for a good quality wine storage environment.  Of course it makes sense to insulate the cellar as best you can in order to minimise the energy use of the temperature control unit.  This can be done using traditional insulation methods and by using  an insulated membrane for the waterproofing such as ThermalDry Wall Floor membrane.

Where the wine storage area is to be only part of a larger cellar you may not want to have the other parts at the same temperature as the wine area and you may also wish to have natural ventilation and daylight in the other areas.  Indeed if the other areas are to be used as part of the living accommodation, there will be building regulations requiring you to have these features, which would clash with the requirements for wine storage.  In such cases a 'wine vault' may be the answer.  These are literally prefabricated airtight rooms (the size of a very large cupboard) , which can be assembled, down in the basement and include insulated wall panels and door with the heating and air-conditioning unit built in.  They represent a very neat solution for the multi-purpose cellar conversion, where wine storage is only a part of the overall usage
