The Benefits Of Using A Wine Cellar Rack



Wine cellar racks undoubtedly add a polished touch to any person's home wine collection. These practical storage devices can accommodate any number of wine bottles, from a few that are to be enjoyed by couples on special occasions, or hundreds for the more serious wine connoisseur.


Wine cellar racks can be fixed onto a kitchen wall as a space-saving and practical measure or be stacked on top of each other in a true aging setting in the basement of your house. Whatever your levels of wine consumption, a storage rack can be the answer to your storage problems.


Wine cellar racks have a distinct advantage over most other forms of bottle storage because you can tailor them to suit your individual taste and decor. You can buy many different styles and colors as well as sizes to convert any available space into a practical and stylish wine storage area.


Wine storage units are extremely easy to use and require little or no construction. Just place the racks where you want them and begin to fill it with your favorite bottles of wine.


The taste of any bottle of wine, regardless of type or age, benefits from being properly stored. By far the most convenient and effective method of storage is by laying the bottles on their side. The main reason for this method of storage is to prevent any sediment in the wine from settling at the bottom of the bottle. This is what inevitably happens when a wine bottle is left standing vertically for a long period of time.


A horizontal storage unit enables this to be done easily and efficiently. The corks in wine bottles can often dry out, especially if not placed on their sides and this leads to more breakage when the wine is eventually opened.


Apart from the benefits that wine cellar racks give to the wine itself they also have numerous benefits for the wine buyer and drinker. You can also organize your wine to suit your preference, either using one rack for a variety of bottles, or numerous racks for larger wine collections. This can help locating that special bottle far easier than having to move hundreds of bottles around that have been stored without a wine rack.


Even if you like to buy more expensive bottles of wine, you needn't spend a fortune on your storage. Wine cellar racks are very reasonably priced. Due to the variety of types available there is sure to be one to suit any pocket. The amount of space that you need for a wine cellar rack is also far less than that needed for storing wine bottles without one.


Of course, most people have seen wine cellar racks in their favorite restaurant or on television in grand houses. They are now far more widely available and not reserved for the wealthy wine collector or restaurant owner. You can purchase one in many different outlets and can buy a bottle, or case, of wine whenever you want without having to worry about where you are going to store it.

June - Wine Stoppers

Another Great Wine Stoppers Article

Wine Is Good For You!


In the 1990?s a news report, later titled the ?French Paradox?, was brought to the public eye after researchers discovered that the French who live on a diet of cheese, butter, organ meats, eggs and other cholesterol laden food had a lower rate of heart attack than in America. The results as to why this was so were very surprising to many: moderate and steady consumption of wine. How is wine good for your health?

Many believe red wine is better for you than white wine, because that is what early studies found. Skin from red grapes contained a powerful antioxidant called resveratrol, which was transferred into red wine during manufacturing. However, nowadays manufacturers are altering their winemaking processes for both red and white wine to boost health benefits.

Some of the more recent studies conducted from around the world have shown that wine can be a very powerful agent in helping prevent heart and lung problems and even strokes! In 2002 the American Thoracic Society found that the antioxidants from white wine helped improve lung function while in the same year the William Harvey Research Institute found that polyphenols in red grape skins helped keep arteries open and lowered the risk of strokes. University of California at Davis discovered in 1995 that coronary heart disease was reduced and research conducted in 2004 at the University of Ferrara in Italy showed that the elderly who consumed moderate amounts of wine had healthier blood vessels than those who didn?t.

Aside from these benefits there are many others specific to men or women. For men, in 2004, the Worcester Medical Center in Massachusetts found that wine helped lower the risk of a heart attack for men with high blood pressure. The Queensland Institute of Medical Research in Australia in 2004 found that women who consumed wine had a lower risk of ovarian cancer and the Twin Research and Genetic Epidemiology Unit, St. Thomas? Hospital in London discovered wine helped with stronger bones.

The key however is moderation. What is ?moderation?? Studies have said that ?moderation? is considered to be one or two glasses a day. Drinking more than this can be bad for your health and cause more diseases than prevent them. Wine does have a rather high calorie content which can put on the pounds if not consumed in moderation. But aside from just weight gain you risk far more serious health problems such as kidney and liver disease with over consumption.

So wine drinkers raise your glasses for a toast to the benefits of a glass a day!
