A Wine Cellar at Home

Aug 31st, 2010 Posted in Storage | no comment »

Wine is a drink that has the preference of many people, who like to stock up on a good selection of it. But the storage of wine requires some care so that it reaches the table in the best conditions. This is where you want to keep the wine for some time, if taken immediately; the kitchen is a good place to save it.

The care of wines requires a range of storage conditions that we must obey in order to preserve their properties be kept in the dark, because light can cause oxidation or deterioration. The storage temperature should not exceed 18 º C. It should be stored horizontally so the cork is kept damp at all times, without breaking and thus facilitating the smooth passage of oxygen. Because of all these factors, it is advisable to store the wines in the refrigerator or the kitchen, it is not the best option, keep them in a special refrigerator in which they are sold, but we can build a warehouse in our own home.

Our warehouse does not have to be large or occupy the basement, but we can do it under a ladder, in a small room in use, or in a cupboard acclimated. But if you have a basement, it’s much better. We must also bear in mind that the winery should be colorful and decorative; it can not ruin the decoration of the house.

Winery Features:

For the preservation of wines, the winery must take into account the temperature, humidity, darkness, lack of odor impregnating or intense, and the rest of the wines. For these conditions, the most appropriate place to locate the store will be underground or semi-buried. It can never be a garage or a workshop, due to the presence of odors and vibrations that occur at these sites.

This may not seem an important detail, the orientation of the cave is. The ideal orientation is the north and the sun does not directly impact the temperature changes involved, and the worst is its opposite, south. The ideal place is underground or semi-buried. The ventilation is very important too, can be achieved through a duct to the outside or through a shunt. The walls must make a perfect thermal and acoustic insulation. The interior walls should be painted white and covered with cement plaster and yodel. Insulation systems are applied that may be of fiberglass or polyurethane foam. The soil must have hygrometric properties, so it is advisable to do so with a material capable of absorbing moisture, such as porous ceramic tiles. But the ideals are rammed earth and sand. This type of champagne is very difficult to achieve due to cost and space requirements.

For a winery located in an apartment, avoid the kitchen, the dining room or living room due to odors, temperature and noise. Therefore we will select an interior room or hallway, where we will build a small bottle with insulation.

Our warehouse must maintain certain storage conditions:
- Stable temperature between 10 and 15 º C.
- The daily fluctuation of the temperature should not exceed 2 ° C.
- The relative humidity should be in the vicinity of 70%.
- The bottles are stored horizontally.
- The racks should be wood or materials not conduct heat.
- The light should be avoided by using carbon-filament lamps or indirect cold lights.
- There should be no foreign odors such as paint, fruit, cooking odors, sausage, etc.
- Avoid noise and vibration damage for wines.
- It is necessary to air and ventilate the place where wines are stored.

We must remember that white wines in general, pink, the champagne and sparkling wines, fine wines and chamomile, young wines and some reds, can not be stored for more than a year, because his life is short. Reserve wines are those that reach the greatest length and can reach twenty.

Director Chairs decoratingIn the past, director chairs or the classic gold medal chairs were built in such a way that they were sturdy and comfortable.

Fresh Flowers and Decoration Can Lend a Lease of Life to Your Lovely Home

Jan 8th, 2010 Posted in Flowers | no comment »

Fresh flowers can lend a lease of life to just about any place. Your home which is your special place deserves to be decorated with fresh flowers. Often we tend to use fresh slower arrangements only on the dining table. However, there are many other places in your home that can be decorated with fresh flowers.

The living room could do with some revving up with fresh flowers. Select a beautiful vase and put in fresh flowers which ever ones you like, it could be a bunch of the same flowers or a combination of different flowers and put it in the corner or any mantle in your living room. Another good idea could be to create a float with the flowers by placing them in a crystal bowl full of water. This could be further enhanced for some occasions by lighting floating candles in the bowl along with the flowers.

This bowl can be placed anywhere in your living room on the center table, or in your bed room in the corner and it will look simple and beautiful. The kitchen too deserves to be remembered. Placing a vase with flowers might not be exactly the best idea in for the kitchen. What you can do here is on a windowsill put potted plants like sun loving primroses and African violets etc. The best part about putting flowering plants in the kitchen is that you can use just about anything to serve as a pot. This could be old tea pots or clay pots etc.

Now in the dining room of course the dining table is one obvious place to put flowers. Instead of the simple arrangement in the center of the table, you can go in for a slightly more elaborate arrangement. This could be done by combining flowers of different varieties and also use some dried grass decoration along with them.

Fresh flowers are believed to be therapeutic and definitely are more attractive than artificial ones. Of course the artificial ones too are required in places where changing flowers regularly is not possible. However, this is not the case at home where we don’t need to make too efforts to find fresh flowers.

Another place to put flowers is your own bedroom. This is the sanctum of your home and indeed a very private space. This place deserves your favorite flower and that too generously. Of course what you can do is place them on the mantle, on the bed side table, on your reading desk if you have any in the room etc.
