Space Wine Made From Real Meteorite

Winery in Chile producing bottles of meteorite-aged vino

Are you the type to seek out unusual and exotic ingredients in your drinking? Are earthbound grapes just not enough for you anymore? Do you want to imbibe the essence of space itself? One astronomer and vineyard owner might have just the thing for you. He's been working on his own specialty vino, and it's unlike anything else on this planet. Each bottle is aged with the dust of a meteorite estimated to be about 4.5 billion years old.

Paper Bottle Could Clean Up Wine Production

Environmentally-friendly alternative to glass may soon hit shelves

Is a bottle still a bottle when it's made out of paper? Or is it merely a bottle-shaped carton masquerading as the real thing? And will it take with drinkers of the vino? These are all questions brought to mind by inventor Martin Myerscough's new GreenBottle, a vessel designed to cut down on energy costs and carbon emissions in wine production.

A Tour of Arizona Wines

0

When most people think of American wine, they think of California. Those in the know have come to respect Oregon and Washington for their lovely, volcanic vintages. But the truth is, the United States has a burgeoning wine culture that is as versatile and regional as the stunning microbrewery revolution. The mountainous regions of Arizona make for some really wonderful grapes. While the delicate Pinot Noir grape can't survive the desert heat, more robust vines like Grenache and Sangiovese thrive in the rich soil, dry climate and year-round heat. A trip to the Wild West Wine Company in Tlaquepaque, Sedona is a great way to get to know some of the best wines in Arizona. Here are some of the standout bottles.

I studied abroad in Austria when I was in college. I studied in Vienna, but my program offered a trip out to fairly rural wine country region to get us kids out of the city. The region we visited, called the Wachau, was in northeast Austria. The region was flush with fall, red and golden-leaved trees were everywhere, as were tall bluffs and clear rivers. We visited a small wine maker's home and sampled his wines, seeing how he created his brews in giant wooden tubs. His crops were small, green grapes. Read more about Austrian wines are good again
