Is wine good for you? The answer is, "Yes!" There's lots of research providing proof that there really are health benefits from drinking wine.

Flavonoids from the skins and seeks of red grapes are the key to wine being good for you. These flavonoids lower your risk of coronary heart disease by reducing your LDL or bad cholesterol levels. At the same time these flavonoids actually increase your HDL or good cholesterol levels and decrease the likelihood of blood clotting.

Scientists believe that there may be other health benefits from red wine. A recent study discovered that an antioxidant in the skins of red grapes, called resveratrol, may inhibit the growth of tumors in some cancers. It's possible that resveratrol can help treat Alzheimer's and Parkinson's as well and new studies are on the way.

Are some wines better for you than others? Again, the answer is, "Yes!" Researchers at University of California at Davis have concluded that full-bodied dry red wines contain the highest levels of flavonoids and provide the greatest benefits. The number one wine for supplying the most flavonoids is Cabernet Sauvignon with Petit Syrah and Pinot Noir also ranking highly. Sweeter wines and white wines have less flavonoids and are less beneficial.

How much should you drink? Moderation is the key. Women should drink 4 ounces of red wine daily with a meal and men 4-8 ounces.

Pour yourself a glass of red wine and drink to your health. Cheers!

More Tea Experts Take on Sommelier Tag

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 16:25:07 PDT
Sommeliers - they're not just for wine anymore. According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, a sommelier is "a waiter in a restaurant who has charge of wines and their service" or "a wine steward." Though this doesn't leave any room to apply the word to tea culture, many tea experts have gone ahead and taken on this appellation even so.

Hanging wine racks are specially produced racks that can be suspended from the ceiling, under cabinets, on walls (although there are special wall wine racks that are constructed differently), or on another piece of high-situated furniture. Aside from the intended purpose, these hanging wine racks have multiple functions; they provide revolving dcor, storage facilitation, and stylish design.

A hanging six-bottle wine rack spirals as an eye diversion, jolting the visuals of any surroundings in a flare of fashion. This kind of hanging wine rack has an optional stem to allow the chance of appending an extra two bottles. The Six- and Eight-Bottle can be placed anywhere around the house-countertops, bars, tables, in the corner, against the wall, in the walk-in closet, or wherever, and can be installed oh-so easily.

And a hanging eclectic eight-bottle wine rack is distinct. This hanging wine rack is designed in an erratic fashion, close to unintended or predetermined. This style creates a flash that sets any scene on fire. An eighteen-inch black chain accentuates the visual appeal of this hanging wine rack. Since no two of this kind of hanging wine rack is made the same, each owner possesses an one-of-a-kind creation!

The one disadvantage, or risk, of the hanging wine rack is the thinking that it might fall and cause bottles to shatter. This poses a mess and even a problem to the health of anyone possibly standing nearby, especially if someone bumps into it a bit too aggressively.

This can even risk hitting someone else in the head or face. For these reasons, the hanging wine rack, although a neat option in any home, should be suspended wisely and in a safe location where any chance of its falling is minimized or eliminate altogether. This is the real difficulty to installing the hanging wine rack!

A hanging wine rack holds the equivalent attraction of a Christmas tree, and would appeal to both wine lovers and interior designers. In the end, this hanging wine rack-a great piece of stylish furniture--is not only functional, it is 100 percent fun!

Hanging wine racks adds a higher lever (excuse the pun) of sensibilities to your wine storage.

My Wine Top 10 List

Fri, 08 Aug 2008 07:22:28 PDT
I recently (re)watched the movie High Fidelity with John Cusack. The basic premise of the movie is that the lead character goes through his life categorizing things into a Top 5 list. These lists are for any situation or topic. The topics of the lists range from obscure music to life events. So what does the movie have to do with wine? Not much at all but it did get me into the mode of Top Lists. While thinking up Top Lists for other things, like my ‘Top 5 List of Motorcycles I Want to Own’, I

A Honey of a Second Label

All over the world, fancy winemakers blessed with more fruit than their limited production wines can use, or fruit that is almost but not quite up to their standards, are crafting wines under second labels. Here in the US, these second labels are often guarded as big secrets. I've had more than one person tell me who the real maker of a second label was as long as I promised not to reveal it. More open "secret second labels" include the great Napa Cab maker Larkmead's second label wine, Meadowla
