Wine Wedding Favors

Wine and weddings are inseparable and it is traditional to toast the bride and groom at their wedding reception and drink to a happy and long lasting marriage. Now wine wedding favors is one of the most fashionable ways to celebrate a wedding.

These specially labeled wine wedding favors can later be kept as mementos of the wedding day. After the wedding, the empty wine bottle can be a suitable holder for fresh, dried or silk flowers and it can be placed next to the framed photo of the wedding couple. A scanned favorite photo of the couple can also be used as the label on the wine bottle. Couples can also make these wine wedding favors more attractive by adding text in a font style and size of their choice on the labels. Their guests not only enjoy the great moments of wedding but also put these wine wedding favors to good use.

Phrases, lyrics from the couple's favorite song, a famous quote, or a poem can be used on the label for personalized wine bottle wedding favors. Couples need to make sure that they include the date (month, day, and year) of the wedding on the wine bottle label. There are various distributors who can custom create labels and fix them to the wine bottles before shipping. Couples who are not interested in making their own labels can use labels created by these distributors.

Couples can compliment the wine wedding favors by adding a few simple items like wine glasses, wine glass charms, wine stoppers, picture frames and wine opener by placing them in a basket with shredded raffia, wrapped with cellophane and tied with beautiful organza ribbon in the colors of their wedding theme. Wine glasses can also be personalized and are ideal for guests who like to entertain a lot. Couples can make their own wine glass charms easily and inexpensively. Stainless steel, pewter and wooden wine stoppers are usually used to accentuate the custom wine bottle and are available in various styles to complement any wedding theme.

Scientists Say New Wine May be Effective Eczema Treatment

Germans scientists have turned their talents to the world of gastronomy and produced seaweed wine - which, in addition to its epicurean delight, will apparently help improve eczema. While we can't vouch for its success at your next dinner party, we can appreciate its benefits to the skin - although a shielding lotion may be a more appropriate external eczema treatment.

What does seaweed have to offer? It has long been considered a 'super food' - fat-free, low calorie, and full of vital minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, iodine and sodium. In fact, some seaweed contains those minerals in the same ratios and concentrations found in human blood.

In addition to nourishing the body, one of the most important health benefits of seaweed is its ability to remove radioactive strontium and other heavy metals from the body. Whole brown seaweed, such as is used in seaweed wine, contains alginic acid which binds with the toxins in the intestines and carries them out of the system - preventing them from being eliminated through the skin, as is the case with eczema flare-ups.

If you don't fancy the wine, you might try adding seaweed to your diet in other forms. It can be found in most health food stores, or those that sell ingredients for Japanese food. You can add strips of it to soup, use it to make a soup broth, or eat it dried as a snack. The red algae seaweed, such as nori, agar-agar, and Irish moss are also very good for you. Nori is the seaweed used to wrap sushi, but Gaelic people also mix it with flour to make bread. Agar-agar is a gel used as a base in many Japanese desserts, and dried Irish moss is most often used in relishes, breads, soups and fritters.

In addition to shoring up your diet with seaweed and other healthy foods, the skin also requires protection from harsh chemicals and other external toxins if you want to avoid eczema flare-ups. Hundreds of dermatologists are now recommending a good shielding lotion as an effective external eczema treatment, although, who knows, if seaweed wine gets really popular we may soon be shopping for our body care products at the local vineyard.
