- The Life Span Of Wine By: Ian Love
Any worthy possession, to be preserved, requires a lot of care and ideal conditions. Even the ancient ‘mummies’ required a lot of pre-preparation and the ideal place to keep them to make it seem as if time stood still for the Pharoahs entombed in them. Unfortunately, the wine that was buried with them did not ‘survive’ in the same manner. On a more serious note, wine is better drunk young. It can be cellared and preserved for 20 or 30 years, but that is the case with only some good vintages. The bouquet, flavor and color is what makes the wine such a delight to savor.

- Matching Wine With Food By: Ian Love
There are a few important things to consider, if you like combining wine with your food. Always combine sweet wine with food that is on the sweeter side, acidic wine with salty food, red wine goes best with red meat and white wine is a fine accompaniment with white meat. It is believed that you must drink the wine produced in that country to accompany the food that is locally prepared. Aussies are known for their barbeques, and hence any red wine produced in their own country would be ideal. Like the Merlot brand of wine would be perfect to make that meal taste every so divine. Or that ever so perfect Aussie Shiraz, to go well with roast beef or char-grilled tuna. Your barbeque wine has to be strong enough to stand against the strong odors and flavors of a barbequed meal, without losing its identity. It has to be able to hold its own.
