Picking The Perfect Wine Rack For Your Home

For many people starting out, it can be a very difficult and oftentimes overwhelming experience picking out the perfect wine rack. While there are many things to take into consideration when deciding which rack is perfect for your needs, deciding which rack to use to store your collection should never be a cause of stress.

One of the first things to consider when choosing a wine rack is whether you want to store your wine in a vertical or horizontal rack. While some prefer a vertical rack because it allows the labels to be easily viewed, wine stored on these types of racks are more likely to have the cork dry out and shrink causing air to enter the bottle and contaminate the wine. It is for this reason that horizontal wine racks are the most popular choice.

The second and third factors to take into consideration when picking a wine rack are the material it will be constructed of and the style of the rack. There are a variety of styles of wine rack, the most conventional being wall mounted, counter top, hanging and free standing. The most common wine racks are made of metal or wood. If metal is your preference, you can select Vintage View wall mounted wine racks, counter top wine racks, or custom made wrought iron or steel hanging or free standing wine racks. While metal wine racks are commonly made from wrought iron or steel, wooden wine racks are available in an array of finishes. The most frequently used woods used to construct a wooden wine rack are maple, mahogany, and walnut, however pine and redwood are also often used. Choose from single or double finished wall mounted wine racks, free standing wine racks such as Wine Cubes, Waterfalls, and Curved Corner Racks, or counter top racks such as the Pyramid wine rack.

The last thing to consider before purchasing a wine rack is the size of the rack and the cost. Wine racks for personal collecting can cost anywhere between $20.00 and $1000.00, it all depends on the size, style and finish. Even though there are a few things to consider when purchasing a wine rack, the variety of racks out there means that finding the perfect rack for your wine collection is simply a matter of knowing where and what to look for.

Tips on Wine Formulation

Although many of our daily perceptions are unconscious, making a concerted effort to pay attention to several things makes the tasting process more educational and rewarding. Despite the mystique that surrounds many wine "experts", tasting wine can be broken into simple steps. Wine knowledge usually stems from practice and confidence, not any inherent superiority.

Planning on brewing your own wine in the convenience of your home? Making a good wine formulation requires you to be exact and strict with the measurements and processes involved. The necessary equipment is also critical in order to produce a good batch. Here are some tips that will help you with troubleshooting your wine formulation.

Fermentation doesn't proceed

If fermentation doesn't start as it should, check first with a hydrometer and whether the reading it gets is consistent for a period of a few days. If the reading changes, then fermentation is occuring. You should look for leaks in and around the container. Check if the lid of the container as well as the neck is damaged in any way.

Fermentation becomes stuck

When this happens, the wine becomes too sweet. The possible things that could have happened include:

- old wine yeasts were used. Yeast cells in the sachets have an expiration date. A certain amount becomes dead each month and when it lasts to about 1 or 2 years, it is unlikely that fermentation will occur as expected.

- wine yeast was added to water that is too hot. It is crucial to remember that heat will destroy healthy yeast cells. The temperature of the concoction should be around 30 to 35 degrees centigrade at the start if there are no specific instructions that say otherwise.

- sachet containing the yeast was damaged. If the yeast sachet is damaged in any way, air may be able to enter and hasten the death rate of yeast. Be sure to buy sachets that you personally scrutinize. This will lower the chances of getting a bad batch.

- wine yeast was added even before the concentrate was diluted. If wine yeast is directly introduced to the grape concentrate, the resulting osmotic pressure will negatively affect the yeast cells.

- erratic or very cold temperatures. If the room where you set up the wine kit is below 18 degrees centigrade, fermentation will be affected and leave you with sub par quality wine. Thus, it is important that the room temperature be kept at a constant.

It is within the grasp of the vast majority of people to confidently differentiate varietals, styles, flavor profiles, and flaws when tasting wine. Tasting wine requires not only a grasp of your senses, but also the ability to articulate (with the proper vernacular) your thoughts about a particular wine.

These are some tips that can help you in troubleshooting and managing your wine formulation. Chances to make mistakes abound, it is up to you to take the necessary precautions and steps to avoid these things. Don't lose hope if you fail, making that perfect brew takes a lot of practice.

The wine taster's ritual of peering into a glass, swirling it around and sniffing suspiciously at it, before taking a mouthful only to spit it out again looks highly mysterious and technical. However, as you try more and more wines, your awareness of flavors and your personal preferences will develop. It is however a sequence of events that can enhance the enjoyment of good wine. Once learned, they become almost second nature to even the novice taster.
