Wine Bottle Recycling

• August 2012

  Hi all! I've recently posted three different lists of organic wines. Since I'm really interested in organic and biodynamic farming, I'd love to hear your tips on favorite wines in these categories. Is there anything you think I should taste? Also, it tends to be a topic on which people have strong opinions. What is yours? What do you think about... Read More

  I'm a huge advocate of recycling wine bottles and corks. In fact, we reused several corks and bottles at my wedding as table number holders.I once believed that there was a limit to the uses of used wine cork. It turns out, I was wrong. Some of the Internet's most creative DIY-ers are pushing the boundaries of crafts using wine cork, wine bottle... Read More

  I've often heard of this phenomenon from a number of different sources, and you hear it repeated by casual drinkers over and over but i'm not really sure if I've ever heard an explanation for it.Can anyone shed some light?How a wine can drink well upon release and then for maybe a year after, but then "go to sleep" and shut down for a number of ...

  The cork vs. screwcap as a wine bottle closure argument/discussion has been done more than once on these pages.  My point here is to encourage some discussion around the merits (or lack-there-of) of arguments in favor of cork as an ethical choice, similar to choosing organic wines, etc.The journalof the Ecological Society Of America published th...
