A New Decorating Style- Decorating With Wine Pictures

Wine tasting and wine connoisseurship is very popular today. Consequently the idea of using wine themes in decorating has caught on as well. This kind of decorating idea is usually used in the kitchen or dining room. People who use this theme enjoy collecting items that complement this whole decorating idea. Luckily for them. there is a wide selection of such items available to decorate with. There are "portraits" of wine bottles. sculptures of grapes and vines. or wall paper and borders with a grape and grape vine pattern. There is an entire line of framed pictures of wine bottles. showing all of the various types of wines. The variety of items with this theme is amazing. And they are usually pictured in magazines. so you can see how they are used in a room. The wine pictures show scenes that include wine. as well as just single bottles of wine. If you find a picture that is especially interesting or pretty. you can use it as a central focus for the room.

Many times an entire room's design is based on one piece of art; art featuring wine is no exception. The colors usually found in these pictures are rich and varied. Use some or all of them in the room to really make the picture stand out. The deep russet of the wine itself on the furniture. the tan of the labels on the walls. and the background colors in accent pieces such as pillows or candles. It is really a lot of fun to decorate with a lovely wine picture as the starting point. Which room it is in doesn't matter. Any of the lovely pictures available would work in many rooms. You can get so many different ideas and accents and bring them all together in one room.

If you want to be truly creative. you can create your own wine picture and have it framed. Perhaps the bottle you drank to celebrate a special event. Your creation will make you proud. and bring back fond memories.

Alcohol Hierarchy: The Order of Wine

As you embark on a wine tasting, you may require a variety of things: bottles of wine, a cork screw, wine glasses, a wine tasting kit, perhaps even an English accent. While this stuff may be essential, unless you know the hierarchy of the wines, they become useless.

When it comes to order of wine, it?s easy to get ahead of yourself. As bottles line the shelves, the labels coiled around their bodies like curled fingers calling you over, it takes some self discipline to not dive in too quickly, no matter how much you are drooling. Patience, when it comes to tasting wine, is more than a virtue: it?s the law.

Proper wine tasting demands that wine be consumed in a specific order. Drinking incorrectly won?t only change the way wine tastes, but it will change your perception of it: if consumed in the wrong order, you may unfairly judge a wine, spitting out your drink and cursing the bottle because its taste is altered. When a wine is tasted in the wrong order, it doesn?t stand a chance; its taste and reputation become inferior: it practically becomes light beer.

Wines that are heavy and full bodied can overpower the lighter wines, leaving the lighter wines to taste differently than they really do. For this reason, lighter wines should be tasted first. However, this can be tricky when you don?t know what a wine tastes like. It?s hard to know which ones are light and which ones are heavy: a scale is of no help and if you simply ask the wines about their mass, they will probably just lie about their weight. This is when the other senses must step in.

Using the senses of sight, smell, and - if you?re lucky enough to have it - ESP, you can usually gauge whether a wine is light or heavy. Lighter wines are dense and tend to leave thick streaks inside the glass when swirled. Heavy wines are deeper in color and their odor is more intense.

After you have predicted whether a wine is light or heavy to the best of your ability, put the wines in an order where you will consume the lighter wines first and the heavier wines second. On occasion a defective wine may find its way into your tasting. These wines may smell of rotten egg or cork and should be tasted last, if at all.

Once the lighter wines are separated from the heavier wines, the order of the wine gets a little more complex. Sparkling wines, such as champagne, have the honor of being in the front: they are the wines that have called shotgun. Next, light whites wines, such as Albari?o, should be consumed. These are followed by heavier whites. A full bodied Chardonnay fits into this category.

After whites have all been tasted, it?s time to switch colors. The change is gradual at first as rose wine comes to the table. These wines are pink in color and may be known as ?blush,? ?Rosado?, or ?Rosata.? Light reds , such as a Bardolino, and heavy reds, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon, respectively follow.

Once you?ve got the order of your wines down, the rest of the wine tasting process is simple. You just need to get a few bottles of wine, a cork screw, wine glasses, and a wine tasting kit. Some wine tasting kits may even include all the aforementioned supplies. But, even for these kits, English accents are sold separately.
