09-07-2010 Wine with a Twist

It’s hard to imagine wine getting any better than its current form.  And yet, take it from us - organic wine goes down very smoothly. So what’s the difference? Organic wines are grown from grapes using no chemical or artificial fertilisers, and without the use of added sulfites. Other benefits of organic ‘green’ wine often include sustainability in the winemaking process. Wine bars and restaurants are jumping on the sustainable wine bandwagon, offering a selection of organic wines on their menus. They’re not alone either. It’s said that the Obamas hosted a dinner party in the White House and organic wine was on the menu! How nice of them.

If you’ve ever fancied a wine cellar but just cannot fathom where in the house you could squeeze one in, then fear not because Spiral Cellars specialise in creating highly functional and visually dazzling spiral staircase wine cellars. Basically they dig a hole in the room of your choosing and fill it with a staircase that works as a wine cellar. Cool air is piped in and warm air is piped out, constantly keeping party beverages cool and fresh while taking up a limited amount of space in your home. Not to mention all the various designs which can either blend in with your current decor or stand out in a funky and alternative way – and all in a seamless transition.
