Port Wine

Posted on August 7, 2010 by Wine Guards

Port wine is a Portuguese wine coming from the Douro Valley (from Oporto to the Spanish border) in the northern part of Portugal. It is also known as Vinho do Porto (in Portugal), Oporto, Porto, and often simply Port (more in the US). There are several types of varieties of Port Wine : dry, semi-dry and white.

Port wine started in the 17th century when there was a war between the English and the French. Then, the English could not drink French wine. Consequently, the English looked for a new location to get a good wine. They found the Duoro Valley to be a great location for a great and innovative wine.

Port wine can be used for different types of food : for example watermelon with port wine is a blast. Imagine being in the south of Portugal close to the beach, nice weather, nice spot and you are there enjoying a fresh watermelon with port wine, mmmmmmm

Port wine can only be produced from the Douro Region in Portugal. To produce this type of wine, you need to fortify it with the addition of a good Brandy. To preserve this wine, port wine should be stored in a cool and dark location (light can damage the taste).

Cooking With Class Wine in the Kitchen

Posted on June 28, 2010 by Wine Guards

Corporate and private chefs and cooks from all over the world have various recipes which use wine. Many entrees and desserts use wine because of the various flavor-enhancing aspects of the liquid. Wine is used to enhance, flavor, accompany, invoke, and otherwise assist in the creation of extraordinary culinary delights. It could be said that without this nectar, many flavors that we take for granted wouldn’t even exist.

Cooking with wine is easy, and there are so many wonderful recipes that use it there is no need to fear it as long as you respect it. Brands and labels are not what is important, so much as what the wine tastes like itself and how it interacts with the food you create. Depending upon the recipe, wine can taste salty. Make sure when adding salt to a recipe you’re using wine with you test it first. You don’t want the results coming out tasting too salty, bitter, or overpowering.

You do not have to choose the most expensive cooking wine in order to use it. If you want something nice, but don’t have a lot of money to spend, a good mid-range wine can work just as well while also not spending a fortune on certain cooking wines.

For the greatest results, wine should not be added to a dish just before serving. The wine should have time to simmer and mix in with the foods that you are cooking. If the wine is added to late in the recipe, you may not have the same taste that you are trying to achieve.

When you are cooking with wine, you should not use a cast iron pan or aluminum pan. The flavor of the pan seems to cook itself right into the flavor of the wine and will give any sauce or meat you cook a metallic taste. Non-stick enamel works very well.

You will also want to use the right wine for each dish that you prepare. There are certain meats and ingredients that you should use only white or red wine with. Usually the recipe will specify which wine you should be using. This is the best way to get the right flavor that you want to have with each meal.

Wine Investment

Posted on June 28, 2010 by Wine Guards

Every investor may not think about Wine investment. It may be at the back of their minds to keep a few bottles in case the prices appreciate for some investors, but no one is clearly buying wines as an investment. You can discover your wine collection which worth a lot more over time, in fact it will be very good chance to invest in. However there will be very rare chance of degradation in wine appreciation if wine investors don’t have interest in wine investment also.

You have to face several issues when you are looking to invest seriously in wine. Of course you may face difficulty to find out a marketplace for selling wines. Serious wine investors will have to look to establish markets for fine wines, where they’re able to liquidate their stocks and get good prices. For example, traditionally London is a strong trading market place for fine wines where investors can sell to established wine merchants, which regularly hold fine wine auctions.

Secondly you may face another obstacle in storing your fine wine. In fact you should concern about bad storage and freight as a wine investor. It’s advisable for those interested in wines as an investment to consider ‘en primeur’ or futures, particularly of blue-chip wines like Bordeaux First Growths. If you want to reap the best benefits, you have to buy ‘en primeur’.

However, it is very much important to get the right vintage. You need to be an established buyer to catch them at the best prices which is the one of the prime key to buying wine futures. The current market for wines is not as vibrant as in its glorious days of 1980s. No doubt today market has softened. The collector’s bubble has somewhat burst since the US economic slowdown.

Today Bordeaux has become a commodity because ninety percent of wines bought for its investment. First Growth Bordeaux would be most in demand but the supply is not exactly small. This is why; if you want to play it safe it is advisable for you to budding wine for well established First Growth Super Chateaux.

You should go for a top vintage at a high price and hope to sell at an even higher price. Ultimately, you will know how much it will rise and what your holding power is. You can also consider taking a punt on top-ranked small production Chateaux like Le Pin, which produces only 500 cases a year. At the end of the day, few in this part of the world take wine investing seriously.
