If so, you’ve come to the right place. BoutiqueWineries is a group of wine lovers from “down under” who just love the romance of finding interesting and unique wines. Whether you are a veteran of many years Cab’s and Chardonnays or just starting on your journey of discovery, we’re here for you. 

We particularly love to hear from wine aficionados who’ve discovered a secret stash of delightful wine from an unheard of cellar. We would like nothing better than for you to break open a bottle, top up your glass and describe for us in mouth watering detail, your latest discovery in our WineLover’s Blog. We’re all here to learn and experience the joys of wine and wine making. 

We know it can sometimes be difficult to decide on the perfect gifts… or maybe you’ve just left it to the last minute. Either way we have the perfect solution! Send a BoutiqueWineries Gift Voucher! That’s an easy way to give Boutique Wines to your friends without knowing what type of wine they like. 

When you have discovered that perfect wine on your latest wine tour, isn’t it frustrating to find that after the last bottle has been joyfully uncorked, you can’t find it anywhere in your local stores? Happily for you, we have the answer to this frustrating scenario. BoutiqueWineries.com.au is the place we go for those hard to find wines. The range is vast, with over 135 boutique wineries marketing their wines through the site. 

Come back often as you journey through the wine country and let us know what you find. Help us enjoy the simple pleasures of fine boutique wines with your experiences and thoughts.

Beer isn’t just for guzzling, it can be an adventure. It is always great to try different beers and experience them from start to finish: Smell, Sight, Texture and Taste. No two beers are alike, even within the same style of beer, there are subtle differences. One of my rules when I’m visiting friends or on vacation is to always try the regional craft brews, it’s such a great way to experience new beers. These are some of the many reasons I love beer.

Sonnett Beers is a Cincinnati based beer blog about the different beers that I drink. Posting a picture of the beer bottle with short descriptions on smell, appearance, taste and overall experience with the beer. Happy Drinking!

In 2006 I was struck by a thunderbolt. I had taken a cycling tour thru Tuscany, the heart of wine country, when I discovered a deep passion for wines. Up until that time I had dabbled but the great Brunellos and Chiantis from the region opened a new door that I knew I wanted to walk thru, so I did and never looked back. Since then I’ve taken Italian language classes, written about every wine I’ve tasted in a journal, and ultimately started a wineblog where I talk about everything I love about wines.

So here it is! Vigna Uva Vino (Vine Grape Wine)… NOW, you can find: interviews with wine personalities, info on developing wine sense, reading labels, and great buys as well as handy tips like: which wine glass to use… how to find a great bottle of wine for under $20, or even under $10. And especially comprehensive is my extensive list of tasting notes on over 150 wines.

So welcome to Vigna Uva Vino, and I hope this information will help make you a smarter wine drinker.

In Norway and Sweden wines are only sold through Alcohol Retail Monopoly. They exist for one reason only: To minimize alcohol-related problems by selling alcohol in a responsible way, without profit motive. Denmark has more continental laws and sells wines all over.

In Norway it is called Vinmonopolet and they have stores all over the country. The Swedish version is called Systembolaget. It has as I can see it a couple of advantages.  First of all the prices on the best and the most expensive wine can be very nice. They have a fix profit on every wine regardless of its good, bad or popular.  So when the marked in other countries turn the price up on the best ones, we can buy it at a fix cost. We in Winesworld have a website where we have tasted, compared and reviewed wines.  We have a search page were you can find the best wine and compare the prices. Since there is only one store that sells wines, you can get it there and all the wines have they own item number so it is easy to get the right one. We have a link on every wine to the official sites were you can see if it is available directly and which store who has it on stock. We have a high tax on alcohol in Norway and Sweden so the low-priced wines are quite expensive. You cannot find a bottle of wine in Norway below $9. 

To sum up it all up the benefit of having monopoly is that it is good organized, a wide range of wines, easy to find and you can do a scoop on the most wanted and best wines.
