Stainless steel wine racks are among the most durable of all wine racks. Purchasing one will virtually guarantee a wine rack that will serve its purpose for years and years to come. When choosing one of these wine racks, you should consider the function the stainless steel wine rack will serve. Is it to be used for wine storage primarily or is it going to be used as a mean of display? Of course, these two functions are not mutually exclusive either; artful tastes can be integrated into functionality these days in many quality wine racks.

Another thing to consider should be your budget. Stainless steel wine racks are more moderately priced than wrought iron wine racks, for example, although the latter have become very popular as well.

A third point to consider is the amount of available room. A person with limited space should only look for metal racks that hold two or three bottles and kept on the counter. Another person might be looking for a instant cellar. Determine the amount of room available for the stainless steel wine racks or metal iron wine racks before you begin shopping. This will save you time and disappointment, when you find the perfect rack but it is too big.

Stainless steel wine racks are made of metal and because metal is so malleable, it is often twisted into sculptures or designs unobtainable by traditional wood wine racks. These designs are then forged at high heats so the wine rack's metal is almost indestructible. It requires minimal cleaning -- just soap and water -- and can be polished or dulled depending on owners' desires.

Although they can be used for wine bottle storage, metal iron wine racks are not as adaptable or space saving as wood wine racks. Metal iron wine racks are functional, but better serve as a unique component to any entertaining event. Since many metal iron wine racks are artistic in design, they make great conversation pieces. Thus, many metal wine racks -- whether stainless steel or iron -- are kept on the counter or displayed prominently around the home for visual appreciation and pleasure.

All metal wine racks are going to last for many years. It is important to take into consideration the purpose of the wine rack before purchasing one. For example, a small metal wine rack is not going to fufill your needs if you want to grow a wine collection over the years -- for this kind of endeavor, you should look into wooden wine racks that are stackable. You want the best fit for your money and who wants to spend more money for another wine rack in the near future because the original wine rack doesn't fit anymore bottles, or was an impulse buy that no longer fits the d?cor.

Congressional Ethics Reform Will Backfire

Thu, 18 Jan 2007 14:00:54 PST
New rules will forbid lobbyists from taking low-paid and over worked Hill staffers to lunch or dinner -making their jobs even crappier- but allows lobbyists to wine and dine Members if they are bringing a campaign contribution. It seems backwards to me when you make K Street even more enticing than public service and lobbying more like bribery.

Wine connoisseurs regularly boast about their fine Italian wine collections and rightly so. Even if you?re not a connoisseur, by the end of this article you?ll be able to put your best Italian wine forward.



Italy is best known for its Moscato, Barolo, Chianti, and Soave; but there are numerous varieties just waiting to be enjoyed. Italy produces more wine than any other country and it produces the largest selection of wines. When you choose an Italian wine, even if you have no wine buying skills, the odds of finding a poor one are very slim so relax!



Wine from the Piedmont region provides red wines that are light bodied and refreshing. This is where the famous Barolo and Barbaresco wines come from.



The Barbera grape appears in full body reds. The Dolcetto grape is light bodied and distinctly dry. The Nebbiolo grape is responsible for the dry, full body wines of the area. The Moscato Bianco is the grape responsible for the sparkling white wines from the area.



And then there is the indulgence of Chianti from the Tuscany region. Chances are you?ve indulged in this lovely wine if you?ve ever dined in an Italian restaurant. The popular region wines include Chianti, Brunello, Vino Nobile di Monepulciano, and Vernaccia de San Giminagno.



The Sangiovese grape with its robust flavor is used in medium and full bodied red wines. Vernaccia is the grape of choice for a variety of sweet and dry white wines.



You can order wines from Italy in any color, style, or flavor; but if you want to be sure you are choosing a good Italian wine look for the DOCG classification. This doesn?t guarantee a better tasting wine, it just indicates level of quality that?s been maintained for at least 5 years which puts the odds in your favor.



Remember this easy rule of thumb. Reds go with red meats and whites go with white meats. It?s a simple rule that goes a long way in helping choose a wine for your meal.



Italians strictly regulate their wines within four classification from tightly regulated superior wines to lenient regulations and creative innovation. The are as follows:



1. DOCG is the strictest of the regulation levels. Output yield is regulated; the wine?s composition is analyzed; there is a minimum alcohol content; and there are minimum aging periods.



2. DOC is the qualification of all quality wines. Output yield is regulated; origin is regulated; there is a minimum alcohol content; there are minimum aging periods; and grape variety is regulated.



3. IGT is classified as excellent value for the cost. There are less quality restrictions, as well as wider territories; and grape ratios are not regulated.



4. Table Wine is the wine that is consumed on a daily basis in Italy. It includes some of the most expensive wines and some of the least expensive wines. The level of alcohol is regulated and so are the wine making techniques.



That?s it. Now wasn?t that simple? You are on your way to being a connoisseur of Italian wine!
