Discover Wrought Iron Wine Racks



Wrought iron wine racks are made to last. It takes skilled artisans to design and replicate these metal wine racks. It is important when purchasing wrought iron wineracks that you buy one that is preassembled. This will ensure that the wine rack is properly braced and welded in place.


Many larger dealers that supply decorative wine racks made from iron offer free shipping, because the cost for these wine racks are significantly higher. Wrought iron wine racks are available at a myriad of web sites and stores, thus by shopping around, you can save by purchasing from a company that offers free or discounted shipping.


Decorative wine racks add a sense of style to an otherwise useful item. Many homes do not have the room for a separate wine cellar, and the wrought iron or decorative wine rack is their solution. Because they are stylish, wrought iron wine racks are kept in the open. They act as a display for the bottle and reflect the distinct taste of the host.


Wrought iron wine racks are more durable and easier to clean than traditional wooden wine racks. Simply use mild soap and warm water to clean up any spillage or dust. Iron wine racks will maintain their original luster or finish for many years. They are also usually are mobile, meaning they are not secured or fastened to the counters or wall but because of their weight, they are very stable, and do not topple over easily, giving you peace of mind that your wine display is not going to come crashing to the floor if you bump into it.


In short, the artisans who created decorative wine racks made from wrought iron used the racks own weight and mathematical equations to create a very stable, balanced wine rack without the need for extra hardware.


Decorative wine racks can be used for a number of events. They are great for the everyday dinner, or to properly store several bottles of wine for the next social event. Small wine racks, the ones that hold one or two bottles, are great if placed in the center of tables at reunions, weddings, and other large events. By having the wine tastefully available at each table, the guests are able to fill their glasses at leisure, instead of waiting for the wait staff, which never seem to be around.

The Poor Vicar’s cruet set

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 06:55:57 PDT
The first item in the Poor Vicar’s Sacristy in a Box is a cruet set. I purchased these cruets at the local Wal-Mart for $3.94 ($1.97 each). They are of plain clear glass; the stoppers are fitted with molded plastic to keep them tight in the necks of the bottles. Based on my testing, the cruets will each hold approximately 10 ounces of water or wine. This should suffice for the poor vicar’s mission congregation. The tray came from the local Dollar Tree at a cost of $1.00. It has a silver fin

I like this cool set of wooden bottles, tinted in the colors of six common wine cooler flavors. They're made by Holgate, one of the earliest US companies to develop educational toys. Unfortunately, one of the bottle stoppers is missing; given the bottles' size 5"] and pre-CPSC vintage, I'll assume it was accidentally swallowed by a previous owner.

Book Review: To Cork or Not To Cork by George Taber There's only one thing, you might say, that stands between a thirsty wine lover and her wine. And luckily, that obstacle is usually easily overcome with one or more variations on a twist of a wrist. Corks, screwcaps, crowncaps, glass stoppers, plastic corks, synthetic corks, agglomerated corks, the list goes on and on. 20 billion of them are used each year, and these closures which seal our precious bottles of wine are given very little though

2008 - Petite Syrah

Another Great Petite Syrah Article

Make Mine Italian: Wines From Tuscany And Piedmont


A modern renaissance of winemaking in Italy is making wine lovers and critics stand up and take notice. In the 20th century, wine in Italy frequently meant low-cost, low quality and high volume-think straw covered bottles-with little to get excited about. However, things have changed in past 25 years and thanks to new laws further regulating Italian vintners, the standard of winemakers in that country is reaching new levels of excellence.



Today, Italy is seen as one of the most prolific and versatile wine regions in the world-with over 100 official vitis vinifera vines- and thousands of grape varieties. Italian wines are food friendly and affordable, with many of the wines available in specialty retail stores. Italian red varietals offer a nice alternative to California cabernets and merlots. Sangiovese is the grape of Chianti Classico that hails from the hills of Tuscany in Northern Italy, and in the hands of a talented wine maker, this red wine can be absolutely elegant. Look no farther than the cuisine of Italy to find the perfect match for Chianti. Try pasta pomodoro (or any red sauce), pizza and roast lamb with this lovely red.



The great Barolo, made from the Nebbiolo grape grown in Piedmont, is the King of red wines in Italy. And though Barolos are rare and pricey, these big-gun reds are prize cellar candidates, with at least 5 (if not 15) years of patience required before the wines mature to a divine richness. Boutique wine retailer www.personalcellar.com has only a limited supply of the 1999 Cordero di Montemezolo Barolo, priced under ($40). This is a great value from one of the best vintages of the last decade. If pasta and pizza are on your menu this week, try the 2000 Il Mandorlo Chianti Classico ($25) from another great vintage. It is blended with a little cabernet and merlot, to create a lush, mouth-filling wine with just the right acidity to balance tomato sauces- and not break the bank while still impressing your guests.
