Collecting wine is a personal passion for most wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs. They proudly display their collections in their homes not only for themselves but for their guests. For many wine lovers, collecting vintage bottles is more than a passion. It’s also an investment, which is why many collectors create their own custom wine cellars. While a large home wine cellar can add value to your home, the empty wine racks beckon the need for new bottles to fill the void. Here are our top 10 reasons to build a home wine cellar: https://lnkd.in/gc8K4cce

Old World Wine Regions Old World wines: we don’t just follow the rules. We made the rules. The definition of Old World wine regions comes down to the areas where modern winemaking traditions first originated. When it comes to old world, the operative word is “influence.” These are the places that exported wines, grapes, winemakers, and traditions into other countries. Old World Examples: France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Germany, Hungary, Croatia, England, etc… New World Wine Regions: “New world” refers to those countries and winemakers that borrowed traditions from other countries to jumpstart their own. More often than not, this happened alongside colonization. After all, it was hard world and would make one thirsty. Since the colonizers were European, they started with those ideas. Over time, through circumstance or creativity, these folks threw out many old ways and developed new ones. New world wine was born! New World Examples: America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, China, etc…

When in Rome, do as Romans do. I assume the same applies to Romanians too. So when I visited a Romanian restaurant in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, I ordered a white wine spritzer with my ciorba soup and kebab. For generations, Israelis with Romanian roots always drank Carmel Hock with soda water. This was a semi dry white, which in the 1960s was our largest selling wine. It was not great quality, but is part of our history. It was produced by Carmel Mizrahi, the historic winery of Israel, which then was virtually a monopoly. Well after sales fell away, Carmel continued to produce it until comparatively recently, simply because the old timers demanded it. My spritzer could have been spruced up. Maybe served with a slice of lemon, or in a wine glass. But this was a restaurant that prides itself on offering the exactly same as fifty years ago, and that is what you get. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. (Though the Perrier is a nod to modernity. They would have used a primitive soda siphon when Carmel Hock was de rigeur.) Btw, I don't look down on the idea of a white wine spritzer at all. It is a refreshing drink for our hot, humid climate. Firstly, you can use an inexpensive wine and the quality does not have to be tip-top, but also with young revelers watching their pennies, a bottle of wine will go a long way if they add soda. It seems what goes around, comes around.

What is Madeira? Madeira is the name of an island in Portugal. And Madeira is the name of a wine made on the island. Madeira is a fortified wine. While the enemies of most wines are light, heat, and oxygen, they are not enemies of Madeira. Madeira is the result of centuries-old history. It is a wine that was toasted at the signing of the Declaration of Independence and it is a wine that will excite your palate. https://lnkd.in/gZN38pZf

Georgia is one of the oldest wine-producing countries in the world. The fertile valleys and protective slopes of the South Caucasus were home to grapevine cultivation and neolithic wine production (Georgian: ღვინო, ɣvino) for at least 8000 years. Due to millennia of winemaking and the prominent economic role it retains in Georgia to the present day, wine and viticulture are entwined with Georgia's national identity. In 2013, UNESCO added the ancient traditional Georgian winemaking method using the Kvevri clay jars to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists. The best-known Georgian wine regions are in the country's east, such as Kakheti and Kartli, but also in Imereti, Racha-Lechkhumi and Kvemo Svaneti, and coastal areas like Adjara and Abkhazia.
