What Is An Oenophile?

Want to know what an oenophile is?
Well prior to today I didn’t know that an oenophile is a lover of wine. There seems little point in repeating the fuller definition here.

For you people out there who want to discuss and share your wine drinking experiences then bottletalk could just be the site for you.
bottletalk is new and is still in beta (that means it’s just been published and might have a couple of errors here and there) and as such if you join then you’ll be in at the start. It’s a free online service for lovers of wine and lets you:
- store details of the wines you have drunk and what you thought of them in your personalised area
- share your wine experiences with friends, family and other wine lovers
- rate and tag wines for easy reference
- discover new wines you’d like to drink and store these in your ‘wanted’ section
- buy wines easily from online retailers
So, apart from the last point (please visit this site for online wine deals) go-ahead and sign-up for free today.
Fancy Your Own Wine Cellar?
December 4, 2006
I happened to read about a company that offers bespoke wine cellars.
The company, Spiral Cellars, offers wine cellars that can accommodate up to 1,600 bottles. The spiral wine cellar takes the form of a watertight, pre-cast cylindrical system installed underground in a room of your choice (ground floor of course!).
Imagine having this little home improvement:
Every Spiral Cellar is the same diameter, but the depth varies depending on how many bottles you wish to store.
Prices start from £7000.
