The kings of old had the most impressive wine collections in their castle homes. Fortunately, these days you can get the same without digging a moat around your home.

If you have a large collection of wine bottles, a simple wine cabinet or wine refrigerator may not be large enough to hold your entire range of wine. When you’ve reached this point, which usually happens around 600 bottles or so, it’s time to start thinking about alternative methods of storage. If you own your own home, installing one of the different types of storage solutions available on the market can be a great way to solve this problem.

Many storage units can be built underground in a basement area, typical of cellars from years past. Alternatively, you can have your wine cellar built in a climate controlled room of your house above ground. Whether you want an extravagant show piece or just a functional home for all of your wines, there are different types of wine cellars that are made to fit any taste or budget.

Wine Enthusiast, a company specializing in the creation of storage solutions, offers two different methods by which you can store your favorite vintages. They offer kits where do-it-yourselfers can piece together their own wine cellar, or custom cellars that can be built to your specifications and needs. The kit offers a more economical option for homeowners with shelving units you can put together yourself in order to obtain the desired effect. Available in mahogany, unfinished mahogany or premium redwood, these differently sized shelving units (each holding around a maximum of 100 bottles) can be placed together to create a beautiful storage unit.

Custom storage solutions are great for those enthusiasts that have enough money to design a unique, but effective storage facility that is in harmony with your home. Whether you’d like an exotic wood paneled round cellar or a one that is glass fronted and stacks wine bottles multiples deep, there are styles to fit your tastes. These custom solutions can hold thousands of bottles, which make them a perfect addition to your wine investment – there is room to grow.

Whether you want fully stocked custom solution so that you’ll always have the perfect bottle to drink, or a vault for your investment – there are many different styles of wine cellar out there to choose from. Additions like tasting stands, glass fronted cabinets and climate controls all make storage units perfect for housing your collection.

Wine tours, you can spend a whole holiday touring the wineries and vineyards or take a day, lunch or afternoon tour. There are many options for you to choose but you can be assured you will have a very enjoyable time and it will be a great learning experience.

If you are fortunate enough to live near a wine producing area, then the day tours will probably suit you. If not, why now plan a holiday to one of the wine areas, you will learn a lot, meet new people and generally have a great time.

Your local travel agent will be able to help you with what is available and you may be surprised at how many areas that no one would have thought to grow wine grapes years ago that are now producing some wonderful wines.

There are companies who specialize in wine tours, why not investigate your local area, there can be pockets of boutique wineries and a day or afternoon tour will get you to several vineyards to sample their wines. Often times these smaller vineyards will have some very lovely wines to add to your cellar, wines that are never seen in the stores or even restaurants.

The beauty of going to these smaller cellar doors is often times the winemaker is there to meet and greet you and is only too happy to share some (of course, not all ) of his winemaking tips. If you are into winemaking then this is a fantastic opportunity.

One of the best aspects of a wine tour is you are driven, you can sample the wines and not have to worry about driving your car.

With the wine tours, you will have a guide who knows the area well, knows about each winery, will have your lunch, afternoon tea or dinner organized. You can be collected from your accommodation and returned at the end of the day.

The wine tour doesn’t just include your lunch or dinner but it will be wonderful gourmet food and of course, the correct wines to go with the this great tasting food. .This way, not only do you get to taste wonderful wines but you will learn what wine to serve with what food and what course.

The wine producing country is always picturesque. The vineyards are beautifully landscaped, normally in keeping with the buildings. The eating areas can be anything from high class restaurants to great rustic courtyards or country charm verandahs overlooking the surrounding countryside with the grape vines extending as far you can see.

On most wine tours you will be able to wander through the vines and see first hand the growing of the grapes, a walk through the wine storage areas, see the huge wine casks with the wine at various stages of production.

You will see the difference between a traditional and a modern winery. The modern winery is all clinical and spotless whereas the traditional is oak barrels of all sizes, earth floors and a wonderful aroma. You can compare the difference in the wines that come from each style of production. Most smaller wineries will have the more traditional set up but a larger winery will more often that not, have the modern system because of the production necessary to supply the amount of wine needed.

Ask your wine tour company if there is a special time for Opera Under The Stars. Some wine producing areas have a special weekend where they host an opera company in their vineyard. It is a wonderful time and well worth including in your holiday if possible. If you are fortunate enough to live near one of these vineyards then set aside that week-end for your wine tour, you will really have a grand time,

There are so many options for a wine tour. If you enjoy good company, beautiful surroundings, gourmet food, being treated to some amazing experiences, learning about a new area, learning about how wine is produced, increasing your wine cellar and above all tasting some great wines then start organizing your wine tour right now and go have a good time.
