Big Brother is watching your grapes. There is a satellite up there somewhere hurtling through space assessing which bits of your vineyard are ready to harvest (whilst carefully avoiding all the other space junk mostly responsible for misdirecting us and brainwashing us in our own homes). ' The Oenoview System ' does this by analysing the reflectivity of a vineyard, and translating the colours into...

It's nearly 30 months since the Wine Travel Guides website went live and I've just made some big changes in a bid to keep the site alive. The website has received a gratifying amount of praise from users, writers and those in both the wine and the travel industry, but as with many websites, it has not yet found a way to become profitable! It's not immediately obvious what exactly is going to change...

A concentrated yet smooth Rioja, richly purple in colour with plenty of blackcurrant and raspberry flavours, and a spicy note. Made by Telmo Rodriguez at his place near Laniego in Rioja Alavesa, this satisfying sweet and gentle wine is a good buy at £8.99 from Marks and Spencer. It is a particularly good buy at the present time as M&S have an offer on which gives you 25% off if you purchase...

Sometime near the end of the year, I would like to post all that I have learned and the wines that I have come to enjoy over the past two years. From a European reds only wine drinker who could not tolerate most white wines or any wines over 0% RS, to be even drinking the many wines I am now, I think I have come a long way. Much of this change or palate expansion, if there is such a term, is directly...

Had a lovely evening yesterday at NOB and BigEars house in the country, well not really the country but Meath. We had a large selection of wine both provided by our gracious hosts and brung along by June, BigNose, and BigHead. The occasion was to celebrate June's "Hitchhikers Guide" birthday and a good time was had by all, although I'm not as good at Wii bowling as I think I am, particularly...

This month's Single Guy Test Kitchen featuring the recipes from Food and Wine Magazine was a first. There was a tie in the poll to decide which recipe to test from the magazine's October edition: 40% voted for the White Bean Stew with Swiss Chard and another 40% voted for the Smoky Shrimp and Chorizo Soup. Of course, only a few voted for the dish that I really wanted to try, which was the Lamb Skewers...

Red wine may be good for your heart, but it looks like white wine is bad for your teeth . It's not the alcohol in the wine that wears away tooth enamel, but the acidity of the wine. Sweet as it may be, Riesling rates lowest on the pH scale, meaning it's most acidic, and therefore worst for your teeth. However, pairing white wine with cheese may help counter the destructive effect. The calcium in the...

if there was a world without beer (perish the thought) and we had to drink wine all the time, we'd go with a good rioja all the time. Well, most of the time. Rioja Restaurant Week started last Sunday and runs through the 25th. Participating restaurants are offering a variety of promotions ranging from 20 percent off all riojas on their wine lists to $50 fixed price menus paired with different riojas....

White wine is a lot worse for teeth than red, according to German researchers who studied human teeth soaked in various kinds of wine. The acid content of white wines like Reisling destroys enamel much faster than reds like Rioja, say the researchers. They recommend white wine fans drink while...
