This potentially bargain wine comes from a major white grape, by the major wine producer of an up and coming wine country. Carmel was founded back in 1882 by Baron Edmond de Rothschild, the owner of the great Bordeaux red, Chateau Lafite, which starts at about $900 here, although I did see it on the Internet for a lot less. Carmel is the oldest Israeli exporter of wine, brandy, and grape juice and produces nearly half of all Israeli wine. Interestingly enough in the 1920s they faced a triple whammy losing purchasers because of the Russian Revolution, American Prohibition, and Arab nationalism. Many of their vineyards were replaced by citrus groves. But now business is booming and to meet the need...

Wine consumption in American homes is very common. It is a great spirit with alcoholic content present in it. Wine is prepared by the process of fermentation of grape juice over a long period of time. It's said that the greater the age of the wine, the better its taste. Wines are kept for fermentation for almost 10 to 20 years most of the times. Wines are generally packed in bottles of varying shapes and sizes depending on the manufacturer. Many wine racks have been designed to store these wine bottles to suit the changing trends and preferences of the customers. These racks help in proper storage and display of various types of wine bottles. The table wine rack is one of the many kinds of wine...

Very early in this series I reviewed a very inexpensive Hungarian Rizling, also spelled Riesling. And now it's time for another Hungarian white, based on the unknown Irsai Olivér grape. Given its name, we may assume that these grapes come from near Lake Balaton, the Hungarian sea southwest of Budapest. Given its price, we may assume that these grapes don't come from valuable lakefront property. Of course, it may all be a marketing ploy and the grapes may in actuality come from a totally different region of Hungary. I don't read or speak Hungarian, so I'll probably never know. By the way, don't be shy about communicating your knowledge; I'll be glad to update this article. Just a few words...

The Piedmont region of northwestern Italy is very well known for red wine, such as Barolo that is often considered Italy's finest wine. Today's wine is 100% Cortese, a white grape from part of the Piedmont situated fairly close to the Mediterranean. It was considered to be one of Italy's finest white wine way back in the 1970s. Gavi holds Italy's finest wine designation, DOCG, where the G stands for guaranteed. But this designation is no guarantee. Let's be frank.
