Do you really want to buy wine online?
I love walking around wine shops. Especially really good ones.
Some of them have wonderful bottles of vintage wines, ports,
sherries, madeira, marsala and brandy in lovely dusty racks.
Others give you a list and you can go and actually look at a
bottle of wine that is on the list at �2000. Of course buying it
is out of the question, but you will always remember that day
when you actually touched a Rothschild '47 or whatever it was
for the rest of your life.
If you live or work in London there are some fabulous wine
merchants to window shop in. You can potter around the more
expensive areas of the West End and discover a cornucopia of
wine shops with superb wines from all over the world. Many
specialise in the more expensive vintages.
Looking round these emporiums is a bit like taking a kid into a
sweetshop. You look at all these wines that you have read about
only in fables and decide that you will have a bottle of
'house-red' thanks. You can't tell the be-suited gentleman
behind the wooden counter that your bank manager would have a
fit if you bought the one you really wanted. You also know that
if you try to bluff him by asking for the '85 rather than the
'86 he will produce the bottle from the folds of his morning
suite.
The airports of Western Europe, particularly Amsterdam and
Zurich for transit passengers are amazing. Good wine is not in
it. From behind glass, possibly bullet-proof, you can gaze at
bottles of 200 year old brandy. I wonder if anyone actually
drinks it, or do they frame it or something? You may wonder,
whilst looking for the rather cheaper duty-free shop which sells
things for under $1000, whether you could buy some of these
things rather less expensively somewhere else.
If you go to Italy or France you can just go to the local shop
in the town and you will be amazed at the range of wines there.
Of course the local wine/s will be paramount in the mind of the
storekeeper or wine merchant, but there will be some special
wines that really need attention paid to them. Little stores can
often come up with some really cracking wine if persuaded to.
"This is my last bottle" really means that the wine is really
good and possibly too good to be drunk by a foreigner.
If you take a tour of the wine growing regions of Italy or
France you will be able to buy a case or two of whichever wine
you took a fancy to on your holiday. Having tasted it in Italy
though, does not necessarily mean that it will taste the same in
England or Germany when it's only 2C outside.
Most of us would love to go to interesting places; see how wine
is made and taste it on the spot; have the time to wander round
wine warehouses and have the knowledge of what to look for. The
rest of us take advantage of the new ability of being able to

but not, perhaps, as much fun.

Wine glasses can make the table
Wine glasses can make or break your party or event. If you are having a fabulous shin dig and you then bring out some cheap plastic wine glasses this is not saying much about your friends or your taste. When you are having a party, especially a fancy one you need to have the real thing. None of this plastic wine glasses stuff will do, you need the real glass or crystal wine glasses. This my friend is the only way to fly.
If you are having a large event like a wedding reception or something that size then you can talk to your caterer about wine glasses. They should be able to hook you up with some fantastic real wine glasses that will suit your event just fine.
