It’s strange how we are all so different when it comes to choosing our wine.

Some people are real wine snobs and know exactly what they are looking for, and don’t settle for anything less. They don’t flinch at the price of the bottle, even if it tops the hundred pounds mark.

Other people may choose a wine just for the colour and packaging on the bottle. I will admit that some wines do come neatly packaged, but I certainly wouldn’t choose one over another just because of the look of the bottle. Click here to continue reading

There are a great many people who consider themselves as something of a wine connoisseur these days. It usually starts of quite innocently with the enjoyment of a couple of glasses each evening, but people often get so engrossed in the wine world it becomes a real hobby.

The one thing that very few wine buffs have however is a wine map, which can show you more about wine regions that most books can. Wine maps have come a long way from the days they were roughly scribbled on a piece of paper and are now researched

I am a great lover of wines but I’ve never had much time for the wine-tasting and collecting game. For me, wine is for drinking and enjoying. Taste is, after all, so subjective.

I’m not interested in the scores, points and medals that have been awarded to a particular wine or vineyard. I can never remember what are supposed to be the really good years for various wines and I even have trouble remembering the names of many wines that I really like. Perhaps I’m drinking a little too much? Rather than rely on the scores handed out by various Sunday newspapers I trust my local wine seller, who I have been patronising for over a decade, to make sound recommendations and he has never given me a duff recommendation.

Now he is a man who totally buys in to the whole slurp-spit and describe routine. He uses all of the flowery

Is drinking wine really good for you? And, if so, how much is healthy? If you, like me, enjoy a glass or three of red wine from time to time, these are the questions that we need answered.

It was some years ago that a team of researchers published their findings, regarding the health benefits of red wine, in the journal Nature. They found that, when given to mice, red wine countered some of the negative effects of a high calorie diet. It improved the health of the mice and appeared to increase their lifespan. But it didn’t help the mice to lose weight so there is no way that we are going to drink away those annoying excess pounds. Pity about that.

Previous research had already identified a molecule called resveratrol which is contained in the skins of grapes used to make red wine. Many
