12 Days to Christmas (or #1 of 12 reasons for VineyardFresh to be your wine preserver)

Day #1 (reason #1) : Do not fool yourself, this is ALL about you .. and should be! Should I? Shouldn't I? Should I? Shouldn't I? .. what the heck, it's the holidays, we all want to open that special bottle of wine for ourselves, but we hesitate. Why? Well we do because we if we are by ourselves and do not finish it, we may not get to fully enjoy the whole bottle and we do not want any to go to waste.

How do I know when my can of VineyardFresh is empty?

If you go to spray the argon wine preserver into your open bottle of red wine, and you hear the "phfft phfft" - you're good! The "phfft phfft" sound is the 100% argon gas wine preserver gliding gently on top of that nice bottle of red wine you just opened, blanketing the top of the wine with a cuddly protective layer that keeps your wine fresh.

Why Wine Preservation IS the Perfect Wine Gift

The holidays are all about enjoying and drinking wine ... as it should be. Wine preservation, wine preservers and saving wine are not on the radar (understandably so), however, during this season of gift giving it really is worth rethinking. Why? .. well here are just 4 situations where the gift of wine preservation really comes in handy:  Hostess has a party and opens (or wants to open) "mega" bottles of wine, then everyone leaves! Saving the wine to enjoy another day becomes of great value. You have that "single" friend who likes to enjoy his or her wine any given day, but just wants a glass or two. Now do it with no hesitation.  Enjoy a great bottle more...

Thank Goodness its November 18 and not Dec. 18 .. just do not let it become that!

We have all been there, but let's hope not this year. You know the feeling ... we have the kids gifts taken cared of and then we are on to the adult friends, family, or hostess gifting. Being the wine lovers we are, we love to share our experience but do we know what friends “really” like? Even those we know that drink wine? Do they like red or whites? Sweet or dry? Californian, French,  Italian? The options are endless and you’d like to make it work.  Here some reasonably priced and practical use ideas to try to help.                                         Decorative bottle stoppers –...
