Who said Vuvuzela’s and Wine don’t mix?
The vuvuzela has quickly become the symbol of the 2010 World Cup. While the press and the TV broadcasters moan about them, the rest of us are rejoicing that the hornet like sound has managed to drown out the bloody awful England Band. I was praying that there was some link kind of wine link [...]
How to match Wine and Chocolate. Put Them in a Blender.
After the first successful detonation of the Atomic bomb, J. Robert Oppenheimer recalled Hindu Scripture with the declaration, ‘Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.’ I wonder if the manufacturers of Chocovine experienced similar emotions when they first blended chocolate and wine? The sales pitch for Chocovine tells us all that we need [...]
The Real Naked Wines – An Arresting Story
The world of wine has been getting its clothes off recently.

A Wine Portrait Frozen in Time. Don’t Try This At Home.
Wine freezes at about 15 degrees Fahrenheit. But what can you do with the wine once it’s frozen? Well, make a piece of art of course! This took the artist 7 hours to put together and 1 hour to fall apart, and why he felt compelled to drink the stuff at the end is beyond [...]
What Wine Goes Best With Snow?
I’ve just returned from the village shop carrying a bag of coal on my shoulder and a bottle of Shiraz under my arm. Shoreham is covered in snow. And it looks simply stunning. Now that I’m home and the fire is starting to roar I really fancy some ice cream. Cold and snow do that [...]
How to Make A Chandelier out of Wine Glasses
My wife is looking for a lampshade for the bedroom in our new cottage. I said to her “Forget the lampshade luv, lets get ourselves a wine glass chandelier by John Harrington.” There’s a choice of a 150 glass chandelier or a 300 glass one. We’ve a small cottage so I think…no hang on, the [...]
Some Wines Taste Like Paint Stripper and Some Just Look Like Paint
With a baby on the way, the wife and I have just had our flat re-decorated. As a result we have a bunch of empty paint cans knocking around the garden looking for a way to make themselves useful. At no stage have I thought to myself that they would make great vessels for wine. [...]
