- Why Wine Stayed Close To Man"€™s Heart Since Ages
By: Rahul Kumar | - On August 27, 2005 a British railways train on its way to Exeter from Paddington was suddenly stopped around Bath. On this abrupt stop, the train struck a concrete block and developed a hole in the sight glass, which helps monitor fuel levels. This accident, which could have caused a delay of hours, was cleared in 20 minutes when someone temporarily used a wine cork to fix the fuel leak. This perhaps is not the best example to prove any beneficial qualities of wine, but this definitely throws a ...

- Wine And Food
By: Catherine Westmore III | - Most people know that certain wines are best to accompany certain foods.
The problem is remembering which wine goes best with which food. The basic
rule is: white wine with fish and poultry dishes, red wine with red meats
and cheese. The other "correct" choices, if you aren't on a strict financial
diet, are sherry with the appetizers and port with desert. But remember
that none of this is written in stone.

- Winery Tours On America's First Wine Trail
By: Jim Hofman | - America's long and storied wine making history is rooted in the efforts of European immigrants, who brought their skills to America throughout the 1800's. Long before California and other west coast wine producing states were settled, other areas of the country were busy producing wines from native grape vines growing in the wild. In the 1830's, a group of German immigrants settled in the Missouri river valley, about an hour west of St. Louis near the present historic town of Hermann, Missouri ...

- Wine Travel - Touring Arkansas Wine Country
By: Jim Hofman | - Over 135 years ago, many German-Swiss immigrants traveled well into the south central United States to stake their claim.

Rolling mountains, while not quite the height or splendor of the Swiss Alps, offered a reminder of home.
And so, a large German-Swiss settlement blossomed in the west/northwest area of Arkansas, "The Natural State". Now, almost a century a ...

Many wineries, in fact almost 90 and 8% of the wines that are sealed with a cork has that delightful moldy, kind of like wet cardboard taste and smell? The cause of cork taint is a mystery and is supposed to be harmless, but who wants to drink it? In addition, what food do you "pair" it with? I don't think you'll find any wine food p ...

As more wineries consider using screwcaps instead of the traditional cork, one has to wonder how the public at large will accept the change ...
