Add Some Wine Flair to Your Christmas Decorations

Want to add some wine flair to your Christmas decor this year? There are a number of great products that you can make or buy to incorporate your love of wine into your holiday decor. If you like do-it-yourself projects you can make a wreath or ornaments. You can also purchase some fun wine Christmas ornaments and figurines to enhance your holiday decor.

For something different than the traditional evergreen wreath, you can buy or make a wreath made from grapevines. A wine themed wreath is a great item for your kitchen, wine room or even your front door. These can end up looking very lovely after being decorated. Try wrapping a string of clear lights around the wreath. There are also different grape light strings that you can use in conjunction with your grapevine wreath. You can use many of the traditional colors and decorations with these wreaths but to add more of a wine look, adorn your wreath with plastic grape clusters, ribbon with vineyard or wine designs, or add some wine corks to the grapevine wreath. As a complement to your grapevine wreath, use grapevine garland as an elegant way of decorating your banister or mantle. A wreath made with wine corks is another great wine related Christmas decoration. Make your own cork wreath with the corks that you have saved from your favorite wineries. If you don't have the time or patience, there are many beautiful cork wreaths available to purchase.

Figurines are very popular Christmas decorations for many homes. There are many elegant wine figurines that can be used to add more of a wine feel to your holiday decor. There are several Santa figurines where he is holding wine glasses or bottles and even some that have Santa with a wine barrel. These figurines generally range from ten to thirty inches in height and are great items to decorate the fireplace mantle or hearth or even around wine racks and cellars. If you use nutcrackers as part of your Christmas decorations, there are several nutcrackers with a wine or grape theme. There are even wine related snow globes available to add to your Christmas decor.

The tree is the focal point of any decorated house. Fortunately, there is a wide range of wine ornaments available for your Christmas tree. Whether you want to use wine Christmas ornaments to add to your current tree or if you want to create your own wine themed Christmas tree, there are many ornaments to choose from. Generally, there are two categories of wine Christmas ornaments to pick from; vineyard style ornaments or fun ornaments. Traditional ornaments are ones that utilize grapes, wine bottles, barrels and vineyard designs. Generally, if they have any text, it tends to the homey or inspirational like, "Friends and wine get better with age." There are also whimsical ornaments with comical depictions of Santa Claus or his reindeer with wine and with fun sayings like "You'd be jolly, if you only worked one day a year.". There are also hand painted mini wine glass ornaments that have fun and whimsical images. So depending upon your style, there are many different wine related ornaments to choose from. To light your tree, there are strands of lights that have grapes on them or you can use your existing lights and some large grape cluster lights as an enhancement. Again, if you are crafty, you can find several different designs on the internet for cork ornaments that you can make to add to your Christmas tree or to grapevine wreaths or garland.

Christmas wine stoppers are another great way to add to your holiday decor. Use several wine stoppers in empty wine bottles to create a table centerpiece or use them to decorate a shelf. There are numerous Christmas wine stoppers to choose from including snow-globe wine stoppers, ornament shaped stoppers, Christmas light shaped stoppers and many different stoppers with Santa, snowmen, or reindeer. Like the wine ornaments, Christmas wine stoppers have both traditional type stoppers such as blown glass stoppers to whimsical stoppers like a passed out Blitzen.

Use bottle collars or charms as decorations by placing them on either full or empty wine bottles. These hang on or from the neck of the bottle. You can use them alone or in conjunction with a wine stopper. These collars and charms come in a number of different designs like ornament shaped bottle charms that have different messages like "Cheers" or "Eat, Drink and be Merry." There are several bottle collars with Santa, snowman or reindeer motifs as well.

There are many different wine decorations you can make or buy to enhance your holiday decor throughout the house or even create a wine themed room. You can use all of the different decorations that were mentioned above or select just a few to help create a wine themed Christmas.

To Cork or Not To Cork $13.99 In Judgment of Paris , George M. Taber masterfully chronicled the historic 1976 wine tasting when unknown California wines defeated top French ones, marking a major turning point in wine history. Now he explores the most controversial topic in the world of wine: What product should be used to seal a bottle? Should it be cork, plastic, glass, a screwcap, or some other type of closure still to be invented? For nearly four centuries virtually every bottle of wine had a cork in it. But starting in the 1970s, a revolution began to topple the cork monopoly. In recent years, the rebellion has been gathering strength. Belatedly, the cork industry began fighting back, while trying to retain its predominant position. Each year 20 billion closures go onto wine bottles, and, increasingly, they are not corks. The cause of the onslaught against cork is an obscure chemical compound known as TCA. In amounts as low as several parts per trillion, the compound can make a $400 bottle of wine smell like wet newspaper and taste equally bad. Such wine is said to be "corked." While cork's enemies urge people to throw off the old and embrace new closures, millions of wine drinkers around the world are still in love with the romance of the cork and the ceremony of opening a bottle. With a thorough command of history, science, winemaking, and marketing, Taber examines all sides of the debate. Along the way, he collects a host of great characters and pivotal moments in the production, storage, and consumption of wine, and paints a truly satisfying portrait of a wholly intriguing controversy. As Australian winemaker Brian Croser describes it: "It's scary how passionate people can be on this topic. Prejudice and extreme positions have taken over, and science has often gone out the window."

Wine Bottle $90.81 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A wine bottle is a bottle used for holding wine, generally made of glass. Some wines are fermented in the bottle, others are bottled only after fermentation. They come in a large variety of sizes, several named for Biblical kings and other figures. The standard bottle contains 75 cL, although this is a relatively recent development. Wine bottles are usually sealed with cork, but screwtop caps are becoming popular, and there are several other methods used to seal a bottle.The chart below expresses the sizes of various wine bottles in multiples relating to a standard bottle of wine, which is 0.75 litres (0.20 U.S. gal; 0.16 imp gal) .For many years, the U.S. standard (nonmetric) wine and liquor bottle was the fifth, meaning onefifth of a U.S. gallon, or 25.6 U.S. fluid ounces (757 ml; 26.6 imp fl oz). Some beverages also came in halfgallon and onegallon sizes. In 1979, the U.S. adopted the metric system for wine bottles, with the basic bottle becoming 75 cl, as in Europe.
