  2. I really liked this post. I don’t drink but after looking through these pictures, I feel so much more educated about wine now! Also, I spied someone in one of them that there is something called “non-alcoholic wine”. Interesting.

    • Non-alcoholic wine is called “grape juice” … 😛

      In all seriousness, when my wife was pregnant with our first, and before we were ready to tell people, she drunk proper non-alcoholic wine at events and didn’t like it all that much. You can buy it in supermarkets.

  35. Those are visually stunning as well as chock-full of fascinating stuff my man! Wow. Thanks for the enlightenment once again. I did have a question about the corks though. Over the past years I’d read more than once that synthetic corks were going to have to be considered because of a serious shortage or problem with the sustainability of the trees that produce the actual natural cork used for wine. Is this still a concern or has this problem magically resolved itself? Cork supposedly comes from a layer between the outer bark and the inner soft tissue of the tree — so the graphic pointed out that cork was a “renewable” fiber…which isn’t really as simple as removing it and it just grows back….it is stripped from the tree and from what I was able to understand, doesn’t regenerate except in the form of growing new trees. I don’t have the time to stop at this moment to research all of this but wondered what you might have to say here, if anything?

    • Hello there! The issue with cork was that it was becoming poorer quality due to being over-harvested in an attempt to keep up with demand. It was often tainted with the TCA fungus which meant the wine would be “corked”. The likes of screwcaps have alleviated that pressure a bit but cork taint is still a problem.

      Cork is definitely renewable. Not all the bark is removed therefore it grows back over the wound, slowly.

      • Ahhh. I would imagine slow re-growth process must last it open and vulnerable to infection. Interesting! Thanks! I have been noticing the synthetic types here and there. I like that they don’t crumble and can be easily re-stopped and un-stopped as needed without losing a seal.

  42. I collect corks in a clear goldfish bowl, minus the fish or water! Smile! I have a few chosen bottles of locally bottled wines in my wine rack and like to look for interesting ones, sometimes recommended by clerks at shops. I am definitely impressed with the variety of wine ‘graphics’ you have here! Smiles, Robin

  44. I think I may have to build an addition to my house as I’d like to get each one of these to print out poster-sized and pin them to all the walls. So much info – gobs to learn. Hope I have enough brains space. Happily, I will always make enough stomach space for the research.

  47. Fun stuff! They drink more than a bottle a wine a day in Vatican city, bless their souls. 🙂 The comparison of pinot noir and lambic is interesting, think I may have to do personal study.
