The Flavor And Goodness Of Red Wine
Red wine is a popular drink in the US and considering that there
are over 600 million gallons of wine sold there each year it's
good to know that it has health benefits too.
The making and drinking of wine goes back thousands of years, in
fact, remnants of wine found in a jar dating back to 5400 B.C.
have been found in modern day Iran. And of course, the Egyptians
partook of this tasty drink as a jar buried in the tomb of King
Tut attests. Other Egyptian artifacts show that from at least
2500 B.C. many of the upper class enjoyed a glass (or clay
goblet) every so often.
Red wine is more full bodied than white wine and has a distinct
flavor due to the increase in tannins contained in the wine.
When red wine is made, the grapes stay in the skin for a longer
time which makes more tannins which result in the heartier taste
and darker color.
The tannins are also what makes red wine have health benefits
that white wine does not possess. This is because the skin of
the grape has a natural antioxidant called resveratrol.
Resveratrol is a flavonoid which research has shown can decrease
aging in cells. This anti-aging property helps to keep your
arteries healthy and aids in boosting the immune system. Some
even claim that red wine can play a role in preventing cancer.
And you don't need to drink a gallon to get the benefits either
- just � - 1 glasses a day for women and 1-2 glasses for men
will do the trick.
There are many different varieties of red wine made all over the
world today. France has long been the favorite country of
origin, although California has been making a fair showing in
the past few decades. The Bordeaux region of France produces
Cabernet - the "mother of all red wines," and also some fine
Merlots. France's Rhone Valley rivals Australia in making Shiraz
while the Burgundy region produces great Pinot Noirs.
In America, California is well known for it's quality Cabernets,
Merlots, and Zinfandels which are grown in the Napa and Sonoma
Valleys. Oregon and Washington are also making their mark with
wonderful Pinots and Merlots.
To serve red wine, let it get to about 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
Open it at least � hour before serving to let it "breathe". This
will help to release pent up gasses and add flavor to the wine.
And don't let the possibility of spills and stains deter you
from enjoying a healthy glass of red wine. If you do spill some,
sprinkle the area with salt and then blot until the stain is
removed.

You may want to choose your racks in order to have them match the rest of your wine storage solution. The final choices that you make will be affected somewhat by whether or not you are planning to show off your wine cellar to your friends. If you are then your wine storage solutions will need to be a little more coordinated.
So look into the wine racks and other wine storage options that will all look well together. Your wine storage area can look like those of a professional wine collector. It is not hard to do but it can cost you a little money.
Your temporary wine storage options are a little simpler. Just before you serve your wine you will probably want to chill it, this of course depends on the wine. In order to store your wine for chilling you can look into cool wine storage solutions. Wine coolers are easy to find, you can find them in many department stores or wine stores. Even the Internet is a great source for finding these types of wine storage options.
