By doing so, you can also learn more about storage, buying wine, and even cooling your wine. To better prepare your wine for storage, you can try tasting different varieties. This way, you can identify which wines you need to age more. You ll learn more about wine this way as well, such as how to distinguish tastes. If you have been looking to try ice wine, finding it may be very difficult. As you probably already know, most alcohol and wine stores don t sell this rare wine. Finding it online is very hard to do as well, unless you catch it at the right time. Even then, if you are able to find it, it can easily cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars for a single bottle. There are wine baskets out there that are cheap in price - to those that are more expensive and more suitable for a wedding gift. If you are buying a wine gift basket for a beginning enthusiast, you may want to include a book on wine that will help them learn more about wine in general. If you are giving the basket to a wine enthusiast with a lot of experience, you may want to include a stopper. Corkscrews are also used in restaurants as well, as they can easily remove even the toughest of corks. Another great gift that relates to wine is the pocket vineyard, which is an electronic device that contains a wine glossary, vintage wine charts, and even suggestions and ideas for pairing wine with food. To properly store wine, you ll need to meet several factors, such as humidity, temperature, lighting, the cleanliness of your storage area, the angle of the bottle while it is stored, and the vibration of the bottle on the rack. The temperature is the most important, as you should keep it around 50 degrees at all times. Wine that is damaged from heat loses all of it s flavor and color, making it virtually impossible to drink - or sell. Colder temperatures on the other hand may slow the aging process, although it can also prevent the wine from getting the chemical reactions it needs as well. Lower temperatures may not affect the quality or taste of the wine, although it isn t recommended.
