Rapid Wine Chillers
Rapid Wine Chillers
Get the edge off the Champagne with a rapid wine chiller. There's nothing worse than being unprepared with guests arriving -- you've got the Champagne flutes out but neglected to put the bottle of bubbly in the refrigerator to get it down to that primo sub-50 degree Fahrenheit range of chilliness. And please, stuffing the bottle into the freezer is not the solution—that only encourages exploding corks and frigid temps can affect the Champagne's balance of aromas and flavors. No, the best solution for this scenario is to use rapid wine chillers that cool the wine down to the right temperature in a just a matter of minutes. They are quick, easy, and efficient for the job.

Corkscrews
The Right Tool for the Right Job
Many people, retailers in particular, consider a corkscrew an accessory, something haphazardly cast into the kitchen drawer with the nutcracker, the lobster fork, the ice pick, the odd-shaped cheese spreader, and the double-sided half-moon folding clamp device that one's spouse says is "perfect for making gyo-za." I've never actually seen the gyo-za device in operation, but I trust that my spouse is correct in that assessment.

Wine Decanters
Many of us think wine decanters are for looks only, or perhaps somewhere the idea was that decanters were for that old 1960 Mouton Rothschild hanging around the house. Luckily for you, they are not for display only, nor are they reserved for that special bottle of wine — thus only to be used on special occasions. I would say that decanters are probably THE singular thing you can purchase to drastically change the wine you drink. Robert Mondavi recently said in an interview in Wine Spectator magazine that, “I think all red wines should be decanted, regardless of age or wine type.” I probably wouldn’t go that far, but he has a point.
Wine Glass Racks
Space Issues?
If you’re a big fan of wine glasses and having the right stemware for the right wine, you have probably run into the problem of having not enough space for all your “vessels”. If you’re like me, you have Riedel glasses for lots of different types of wines, but those big bulbous Burgundy stems and those extra-tall Syrah stems quickly eat up your space, assuming you had any to fit them to begin with. A wine glass rack may be the answer you’re looking for.
Wine Glasses
Selecting the correct wine glasses or stemware need not become a nightmare. Follow some simple rules and you are well on your way to your own wine glass collection-
- Go for light and transparent materials like fine glass and even ordinary glass. The color of the wine plays an important role in the enjoyment of the wine, besides imparting a lot of information on the wine such as its age. It is genearlly recommended to avoid colored and frosted glasses as well as those made from pewter and silver.
- See that the stem is of a sufficient size to allow you to hold the glass comfortably. Wine glasses are meant to be held by their stems, mainly because it prevents the transfer of heat from the hand to the glass.
- Ensure that the size of the bowl is adequate to allow for a decent measure of wine to be poured in. Ideally, there should be enough space left over to allow for the swirling action that is so important in releasing the aromas of the wine. Glasses that need to be filled to the brim for a decent measure are to be avoided.
- The next important consideration is in the shape of the bowl. Wine glasses should ideally taper towards the top and the rim is somewhat smaller than the body portion. This also influences the manner in which the aromas of the wine are released by directing them towards the nose.
- There are as many types of wine glasses as there are types of wines. Though there are some basic rules that can be followed.
- White wines are typically served in smaller glasses. Red wines are served in glasses with wider bowls, while champagne and sparkling wines are generally served in fluted glasses.
Decorative Wine Glasses
Stickler oenophiles swear that it's criminal to use decorative wine glasses when sipping one's Screaming eagle. Rest assured, there's no actual law against using a glass with a cluster of grapes painted on the side. The wine police are not going to break down your door during dinner to arrest you if your wine glasses are anything but clear.
Colored Wine Glasses
Whether for everyday or occasional use, colored wine glasses can provide a beautiful accent to any table setting.
Stemware Racks
Got questions about stemware racks? Wondering where, oh, where to put the Spiegelau? How to store your stemware? What's the best way to keep the precious crystal stemware safe, out of harm's way, get rid of the water spots from my prized Riedel?, and most importantly show them off to your wine snob guests? All good questions, not brilliant, but astute all the same. As we all know, death and taxes are two things that a person can count on to be certain. There is one more of life's little certainties that most people forget, if not outright neglect. Ever heard the term, shattered glass? Yeah, thought so. And if that happens, stemware, good stemware, can be dear to purchase and double-dear to replace. And let's not forget to mention the shards scattered all over and need to be careful walking barefoot.
