My multiply buddy Patricia went to the Carrefour International Wine Fair in Suntec City Mall, Singapore last week. She bought different samples of wine from distinct regions like Australian Riesling, Pinot Noir from Burgundy, and the Petalo Il Vino Dell’amore Moscato from Italy. And noticed that some people had a shopping trolley full of bottles. For sure they must have wine cellars in their flats at that number.
The last time I bought a wine was 9th of September this month. It was a present to our photo instructor Mr. Jonathan Taylor, the day after our free workshop. I chose Cabernet Sauvignon. A grape native to the Bordeaux region of France. This type of tough-skinned grape produces dark, dry wines with lots of tannin which require considerable ageing.
If I were to have my own house. I’d make sure that I’d create a space for a couple of wine bottles reserved for special occasions. This bentwood wine rack [photo on the left] would perfectly fit on a mini bar type of setting in the kitchen. The humidity of the storage area is important so it’s possible that this rack could be encased on the wall with constant temperature of 13 degrees C. It’s best position should always be lying down with their labels uppermost, and always in contact with cork to prevent from drying out and spoiling. Beautiful racks like this could be found in The Vine Store. Wine is a living substance and like most living things it responds well to right care and sickens from neglect. So it’s proper to ensure its monetary and health value all along.
