Choice of glass for red wines

Red wines can be enjoyed best when they are poured into wine the glass which has adequate room and is sipped from it.  A bowl which is oval distinctly or shaped like an egg that narrows very slightly at its top is preferred to enjoy the wine sipping in its richest form more than a glass which is like a slender flute.

Figures suggest that the UK consume the most red and white wine

January 28th, 2009    Subscribe To Our Feed

Britain now imports more wine than any other country in the world. As a nation we imported a grand total of 1.6 billion bottles in 2007, equating to thirty five standard bottles for every adult in the country which is absolutely staggering figure. The average British adult now drinks 12% more wine than they did just five years ago and forecasts predict our consumption will continue to grow far beyond that figure. Global wine and alcohol consumption is on the rise in past years and also forecast to grow considerably. The US are predicted to eventually become the world’s biggest consumer by 2012. The UK is 13th in the world, in terms of consumption per adult and despite Britain being a big importer, the amount we drink is completely dwarfed by other neighbouring European countries including France.
Red wine and white wine are on the increase as well as champagne and cognacs. The British public consumed 720 million bottles of red wine and 764 million bottles of white wine in 2008 and that figure is expected to grow for 2009. However red wine is rapidly falling in popularity, as white wine and rose wine take larger shares of the increasing market industry.
Wine merchants have been extremely busy for the last year. Additionally, reports have indicated that many wine accessories such as tableware and dinnerware have been selling extremely fast as a natural accompaniment to wine. The thirst for wine is set to deepen in emerging economies such as China and Russia, whose consumption levels are soon expected to overtake that of Spain in Europe which is another nation historically associated with wine. It predicted that the financial and economic crisis affecting many wine consumer countries worldwide would only have ‘limited’ consequences for the growth of the wine sector. The report forecasts vast growth for the coming four years roughly in line with pre-crisis trends. Either way it is a very terrifying thought.

You've eaten all the food - Now taste the wine

January 27th, 2009    Subscribe To Our Feed

To complement a good dinner you need exquisite wine to go with it. For discerning curry aficionados, it could soon be the habitual final flourish to millions of orders from around the world. When having a smart slap up meal the waiter would ask you what you would like to drink to which you would answer, “A bottle of your finest Nashik region sauvignon blanc wine or an original Maharastran Shiraz”. Like any good meal there are some essentials that you need, for example, tableware, food, wine and general service.
The Indian wine industry is desperately trying to emulate the success of the sub-continents beer (Cobra) and food (Curry). However India’s oldest winery only dates back to early1982 so the industry is still really in the starting phases. India as a nation are trying to increase their revenue stream and commerical routes as much as possible by broadening their own horizons. Exporting wine as well as beer and food will be a great move for India as a nation as this will un-doubtedly help their relation and profit prospects.
White wine and red wine go well with any meal and normally you would go for a wine that has been brewed and made in France or Italy for example but Indian wine could change all of that. Sales have grown by 30% to 35% in India every year since 2002 and although only 2% of the population drinks wine, that still accounts for a staggering 20 million people. Last year alone the Indian wine market accounted for 1.2 million cases of wine being sold, representing a doubling of domestic consumption in just five years. Compared to global players in the wine industry – America last year produced 270 million cases – India remains a viticultural minnow but now producers believe they have spotted an extremely receptive export the globe and an avenue to make plenty of money.
