A Guide To Retail Wine Racks

Any legitimate wine dealer should store all wine bottles on specially designed retail wine racks. Did you know that the majority of retail stores do not store wine correctly? When you think about your own preferred wine dealer, do they store the bottles upright on metal shelves? Sadly, this can cause the cork to dry out over time. A good wine store uses wholesale wine racks designed to keep the bottles on their sides.

Unless a store owner knows that the bottles of wine will sell quickly, it is essential to store wine bottles on their sides on specially designed retail wine racks. By remaining on their sides, the cork remains moistened ensuring the best quality of wine; also, exposure to light is minimized. A store using wholesale wine racks of this nature demonstrates their storage knowledge. Wine connoisseurs can be meticulous and most will only purchase from a wine seller who knows how to store wine properly.

There are a few different options when selecting retail wine racks. You can choose from island stands, corner stands, and circular stands. Each style can be pleasing to the customer's eye. When considering the style, it is essential to create a nice flow within the retail space. You do not want customers banging into each other or the retail wine racks. Broken bottles can mean a loss of expensive merchandise.

Island stands are rectangular and contain a sloped top that covers vertical rows of bottle storage on each side of the rack. The sloped top typically holds eight or ten wine bottles. Underneath the top display model, the vertical rows hold eight to twelve additional bottles of wine or champagne. Storage space is ample, and the island stands design keeps the majority of the wine out of direct light. Island stands keep the retail floor looking organized and appealing. For under $600, these wholesale wine racks are a smart choice.

Corner retail wine racks tuck neatly into tight spaces. A small number of spaces line the front of the corner stand allowing for four display bottles per level to be shown. On each side of the display area, vertical rows allow for corresponding bottles of wine to be stored on their sides. The stand keeps the bottles from direct lighting and proper wine storage conditions are easily met.

Circular stands typically offer three levels of circular storage space. They can be bulky and take up plenty of floor space. Nonetheless, they also supply the wine buyer with excellent accessibility. Each circle contains a raised rim that keeps the bottles from sliding off. Wine bottles tilt slightly and remain open to the direct light. Therefore, wines on circular retail wine racks should be wines that sell quickly.

Writing about Red Wine was indeed a spontaneous decision on my part. I solemnly hope that this was a wise decision that I had made.

A Red Wine Artilce for Your Viewing

HOUSE HUNTING IN WINE COUNTRY - FITOU

Fitou wine is well-established, particularly in the UK - most people know the name, can pronounce it easily, and may even have tried a bottle or two. But ask them where Fitou is and the chances are they'll look at you blankly. So here's your chance to shine at your next dinner party: serve a few bottles of full-bodied, feisty red Fitou and regale your guests with a little background.

First and foremost, a couple of facts. Fitou is the oldest appellation in the Languedoc-Roussillon region (and not a lot people know that). It is divided into two zones that border Corbi?res, with the smaller zone lying around the coastal town of Fitou itself, and the larger zone's vineyards dominating the land between Villeneuve-les-Corbi?res and Tuchan. Although the communes here can produce golden-hued Rivesaltes vins doux naturels, most of the wines are reds, made mainly from the Carignan grape variety blended with Grenache, Mourv?dre and Syrah. Good Fitou vintages tend to be herb-flavoured with a wild, spicy character; think simple, medium- to full-bodied, rustic reds.

Next up, the place itself. Fitou is small but lively winemaking village in the south of France, in the Aude d?partement of the Languedoc region. It's about 10 minutes drive from the beaches of the Mediterranean, an hour and a half from ski resorts in the Pyrenees, and you can even do a day trip to Spain from Fitou. A number of expats (mainly British, Dutch and Germans) have chosen to make their homes here; Fitou appeals to families with young children as it's quiet enough to feel very safe while providing all the necessary services and amenities to make life comfortable year-round, including a primary school, bar, several restaurants, a boulangerie, a supermarket, launderette, a snack bar - and of course, lots of wine (which can be bought direct from the producers). It's a popular village with foreign visitors as it is still largely unspoilt, but it's hardly an expat enclave, and everyone is well integrated; it's a very small, friendly community.

Properties range from small village houses (maison de village) through to modern villas and apartments in the Domaine de Capitelles, a new development situated up on the hills surrounding the village. Cheaper properties tend to change hands quickly, especially if they have an outside area, as gardens are hard to come by. The Fitou area is considered to be a good place to look for older property to renovate; lower-priced village houses invariably need modernization or at least decoration, and by renovating an older property it is possible to create a home that is exactly to your tastes while saving money.

Fans of modern building styles will need to look elsewhere. Occasionally, recently-built villas come onto the market but they are far and few between, and there are very few plots of building land left; you'd need to look a little further afield to be able to build your own home from scratch. House prices in and around Fitou have boomed since the Millennium, but have now become relatively stable. As an example, in the nearby village of Paziols, a two-bedroom village house renovated in a modern style is currently on the market for ?104,500, while a pretty, three-bed village house with original features (wooden beams, open fireplaces and a period staircase) and plenty of charm is selling for ?129,600. For more details of these and other properties, visit www.viboimmobilier.com.
