Christmas & Wine: Made For Each Other



When it comes to class and finesse, there is nothing better than wine. And this is the reason why wine is made for Christmas. And before some software geeks go off their heads, we are talking about the drink and not the software.


Wine has always been the drink for the imperial. Drinking wine is an indulgence, art, hobby, habit or a whim, depending on the monetary condition of the concerned person. One thing is for sure though; wine through generations has delighted the mind, ignited the senses and added finesse to the world.

And as they say - It's only about wine & women. (You can take it the other way round too, based on your own individual ranking)


Wines over the years have been classified by 5 criteria. These are - Vinification methods, taste, vintage, and quality.


This Christmas when you look out for gifts for your really special people, do not look beyond wine. When you gift wine, people realize a few things and they are - The classiness & knowledge of the person gifting the wine, the importance of the occasion, the importance of the person being gifted and the intended response.


Realizing the specialty of wine, there are many shops that would provide you the finest wine. And if you go through a Cashback site you would also earn Cashback on the wine purchased (and how cool is that!!!).


I bring to you the best wine shops in the kingdom, offering the finest wine ever made.


And finally ......


"We want the finest wines available to humanity, we want them here, and we want them now!"
Withnail in Withnail and I (1987)


Amen!!!!

Japanese have a fascination with different flavours of ice cream

Wed, 24 Jan 2007 23:12:20 -0800
ut there are some others which westerners might be a scared of, like potato and butter, rice cake or wasabi. Then there's the others, how does a nice crab or sea urchin ice cream sound, or perhaps squid flavoured ...tasty. Then there's the alcohol flavoured ones like wine, sake and of course beer flavoured ice cream.
