Boxed wine is hotter than ever — find the perfect pairing for your summer outing, from BBQs to the beach

Portable vino from a can or box no longer means sickeningly sweet budget blends chugged at college frat parties (sorry, Franzia).

A Significant Amount Of Wine Is Shipped Around The World In?

Many imported wines are not bottled where they are produced, but are instead pumped into giant bladders that resemble a huge version of the CamelBak hydration system worn by cyclists and distance runners

THIS BAG LETS YOU TAKE A WHOLE BOX OF WINE WHEREVER YOU GO

The “Wine Dispensing Travel Tote,” created by Tracey Luebbers and currently selling on Uncommon Goods, is no doubt your new travel accessory. It holds an entire box of wine, and has room for anything else you commonly store in your purse.

Does Expensive Wine Taste Better?

Taste, as we all know, is subjective. It’s also not the only factor in determining a wine’s monetary worth

The MUNCHIES Guide to Buying Supermarket Wine

Because the wine you’re about to buy probably doesn’t come from a small estate. To be distributed in large retailers, there are supply minimums to meet. This doesn’t mean the wines will be bad—far from it—but if you want the image of the little winemaker managing a ten-acre vineyard, you’re in the wrong place. You’ll have to go to the wine shop for that.

Bernick’s Periodic Table of Beer

Technically, a periodic table is “a table of elements arranged based on various configurations and similar properties”. So yes, it works for beer similar to the way it works for elements.

JULY 4TH BY THE NUMBERS

For backyard grillers, the Fourth of July means a lot of delicious food purchases. As Americans fire up their grills over the weekend and break out the red, white and blue cutlery, they’ll be loading up their grocery carts with billions of dollars’ worth of food and beverages.

Knowledge Bombing on Pét-Nats

Pétillant-naturel means, “naturally sparkling,” and everyone who refers to wines made in this style as simply “pét-nats,” can thank Loire Valley winemaker Christian Chaussard (he looks like everyone’s favorite uncle), who coined the term back in the late 1990s.

If point scores give you reassurance, go ahead and trust them…

That any system of judgment created by humans is fallible is obvious; that doesn’t mean we should throw the baby out with the bathwater.

What’s Lurking in Your Wine: Fish Bladders, Egg Whites, and Mega Purple

Some wineries rely on science, along with various additives, to correct mistakes—to improve flavors and to provide a better balance of alcohol and tannins.

Vinitas WineWorks LLC, Tri-County Adult Education, and Franklin Liquors are excited to announce the Fall session of the French Wine Scholar Certification program!

french-wine-guild

Developed by the Wine Scholar Guild with the support of the French Ministry of Agriculture, this specialization program is designed for advanced students of wine, whether professionals or serious wine hobbyists. This is NOT an introductory wine class; students should have professional wine experience or previous classroom study. Students must be familiar with the concepts of viticulture and vinification, major grape varieties, wine regions, and wine styles from across the globe, and have experience tasting wine in a formal setting.

Our next session starts September 6 and will run on nine consecutive Tuesday evenings.
