California wine

California wine is making in the U.S. state of California. Nearly three-quarters the size of France, California accounts for nearly 90 percent of whole American wine manufature. The production in California alone is one third larger than that of Australia. If California were a detach country, it would be the world's fourth-largest wine maker.
The state's viticultural history dates back to the 18th century when Spanish missionaries planted the first vineyards to produce wine for bunch.



San Gabriel Cosecha Ribera Del Duero

The Ribera del Duero is blessed by a mixture of terroir, microclimate and a restricted grape that gives superb, complex red wines. At this elevation Tempranillo gives thin-skinned and refreshingly acid fruit, which in turn gives wines that are tasty when they are young but also have the capacity to age into magnficent Gran Reservas. In the wake of the DO's creation in 1982 many vineyard sites were replanted and bodegas of every kind, ranging from small family operations to large cooperatives and single-estate bodegas, began to invest in current winemaking technology.




White Wine from Mosel-Saar-Ruwer

Mosel is one of 13 German wine region for worth wines and takes its name from the Moselle River …Before 1 August 2007 the region was called Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, but changed to a name that was considered additional consumer-friendly ….The wine region is Germany's third largest in terms of production but is the leading region in terms of international status.. Because of the northerly location of Mosel, the Riesling wines are frequently light, low in alcohol, crisp and high in acidity, and often exhibit "flowery" rather than "fruity" aromas.



Burgundy wine

Burgundy wine is wine made in the Burgundy region in eastern France. The most famous wines produced here - those commonly referred to as Burgundies - are red wines made from Pinot Noir grapes or white wines made from Chardonnay grapes. Red and white wines are also made from other grape varieties, such as Gamay and Aligoté respectively. Small amounts of rosé and sparkling wine are also produced in the region. Chardonnay-dominated Chablis and Gamay-dominated Beaujolais are formally part of Burgundy wine region, but wines from those subregions are usually referred to by their own names rather than as "Burgundy wines".

Côtes du Rhône

Côtes du Rhône is a wine-growing designation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) for the Rhône wine region of France, which may be use throughout the region, also in those areas which are covered by other AOCs. In a limited part of the region, the AOC Côtes du Rhône-Villages may be used, in some cases together with the name of the community.

How to add labels to your mead or wine bottles

Ancient bottles

Ancient Roman Bottles

The Roman empire produced a large quantity of lachrymatories. Ceramic and glass bottles are both available and can be found at auctions around the world. Glass blowing was created around 100 A.D., so you'll find only ceramic vials (with the possible exception of Chinese carved stone) before then.

Label Printer

Label printer applicators

Label printer applicators are basic robots that automatically print and apply pressure sensitive labels to various products. Some types of labeling include shipping labeling, content labeling, graphic images, and labeling to comply with specific standards such as those of GS1 and Universal Product Code U.P.C. A pressure sensitive label consists of a label substrate and adhesive. First developed in the late 1970's, today there are over 70 manufacturers of these types of machines worldwide. Basic label printer applicators consist of three primary parts: a printer, or print engine, an applicator and a method to handle label and ribbons, referred to as media. Computing power also has the potential to increase the efficiency of label printer applicators.

The applicator section delivers the label to the product. This can be accomplished by several methods. Typically application is achieved with a pneumatic or electric cylinder with a specially designed label pad. The cylinder will extend out and touch (tamp) the adhesive side of the label to a product. Variations of this method will extend the cylinder and then use air to blow the label to the product surface (tamp-blow]). Another popular method is a blow-on system that will use a burst of air to deliver the label from the pad to the product surface with out the use of a cylinder. Other methods can be used to wipe a label onto a surface, or even place two duplicate or unique labels on different sides of a product.

wiskey Bottle labels

whiskey refers to a broad category of alcoholic beverages that are distilled from fermented grain mash and aged in wooden casks Different grains are used for different varieties, including barley, malted barley, rye, malted rye, wheat, and maize

The Mediterranean regions by Irish missionaries between the 6th century and 7th century. While the art of distillation originated in the East, its first European practice was in Spain introduced by the Moors in the Middle Ages, with perfumes and aromatics being distilled long before potable spirits.

Whisky is a shortened form of usquebaugh, which English borrowed from Irish Gaelic uisce beatha and Scottish Gaelic uisge beatha. This compound descends from Old Irish uisce, "water," and bethad, "of life," and meaning literally "water of life."



It thus meant the same thing as the name of another drink, aquavit, which comes from Latin aqua vītae, "water of life" which had been applied to intoxicating drinks since early 14th century. Other early spellings include usquebea (1706) and iskie bae (1583).



In the Irish Annals of Clonmacnoise in 1405, the first written record of whisky appears describing the death of a chieftain at Christmas from "taking a surfeit of aqua vitae". In Scotland, the first evidence of whisky production comes from an entry in the Exchequer Rolls for 1494 where malt is sent "To Friar John Cor, by order of the king, to make aquavitae".

17th century Rum Bottle labels

There are many varieties of rum that can be used to make cocktails and the choice can be a daunting one. Choosing a quality light or gold rum to stock in a home bar is a good place to begin and is required for many rum cocktails. Dark rums are used occasionally in addition to light rum in a few cocktails and should be a second priority


The precursors to rum date back to antiquity. Development of fermented drinks produced from sugarcane juice is believed to have first occurred either in ancient India or China, and spread from there. An example of such an early drink is brum. Produced by the Malay people, brum dates back thousands of years. Marco Polo also recorded a 14th-century account of a "very good wine of sugar" that was offered to him in what is modern-day Iran.


The first distillation of rum took place on the sugarcane plantations of the Caribbean in the 17th century. Plantation slaves first discovered that molasses, a by-product of the sugar refining process, can be fermented into alcohol. Later, distillation of these alcoholic by-products concentrated the alcohol and removed impurities, producing the first true rums.

Tradition suggests that rum first originated on the island of Barbados. Regardless of its initial source, early Caribbean rums were not known for high quality.
A 1651 document from Barbados stated, "The chief fuddling they make in the island is Rumbullion, alias Kill-Divil, and this is made of sugar canes distilled, a hot, hellish, and terrible liquor
Flavored rums are not as necessary as their counterparts but are useful for specific cocktails and can substitute other rums for more flavor


in the 17th century he was a feared privateer. Not only did the Welsh pirate marry his own cousin, he ran risky missions for the governor of Jamaica, including capturing some Spanish prisoners in Cuba and sacking Port-au-Prince in Haiti.

He then plundered the Cuban coast before holding for ransom the entire city of Portobelo, Panama. He later looted and burned Panama City,

History of plastic bottle

A plastic bottle is a container constructed of plastic, with a neck that is narrower than its body and an opening at the top. The mouth of the bottle is normally sealed with a plastic bottle cap [1]. Plastic bottles are typically used to store liquids such as water, soft drinks, cooking oil, medicine, shampoo, milk, and ink. This article provides a description of common plastic container resin materials, their qualities, usages and limitations.

Leonardo Da Vinci invented the first form of natural plastic during the renaissance period. The plastic Da Vinci created was made from both animal and vegetable glues combined with organic fibers. When this combination dried Da Vinci was left with a product that would be described today as a plastic like substance. In 1862, Alexander Parkes was responsible for introducing the first man made plastic at the Great International Exhibition in London. This man made plastic was nicknamed Parkesine. Due to an extremely expensive production cost of raw materials, the product became obsolete.

Plastic bottles were first used commercially in 1947 but remained relatively expensive until the early 1960's when high-density Polyethylene was introduced They quickly became popular with both manufacturers and customers due to their lightweight nature and relatively low production costs compared with glass bottles The food industry has almost completely replaced glass in many cases with plastic bottles, but wine and beer are still commonly sold in glass bottles.

Beer for funny animals

kalyani , marketed as "a beer for your best friend", is made from a special brew of beef extract and malt. The beverage is a creation of pet shop owner kalayani brother's, who wanted her dogs to share light refreshments with her after a day's hunting.

The beer is non-alcoholic and fit for human consumption, but costs four times as much as a Heineken. "Kwispel" is the Dutch word for wagging a tail. You can see Benito here, a 5-year-old Chihuahua who lives with the inventor of the beer.

For beer lovers and thirsty dogs, there is now an option for hanging out together and sharing a brew. Let the party begin. According to newsbbc, "A small brewery in the Netherlands has launched a new beer designed to bring cool relief to thirsty dogs.

Packaging and labeling

Packaging is the science, art and technology of enclosing or protecting products for distribution, storage, sale, and use. Packaging also refers to the process of design, evaluation, and production of packages. Package labelling (BrE) or labeling (AmE) is any written, electronic, or graphic communications on the packaging or on a separate but associated label.

Packaging can be described as a coordinated system of preparing goods for transport, warehousing, logistics, sale, and end use. Packaging contains, protects, preserves, transports, informs, and sells.[1] It is fully integrated into government, business, institutional, industry, and personal use.

The purposes of packaging and package labels

Packaging and package labeling have several objectives

Physical protection - The objects enclosed in the package may require protection from, among other things, shock, vibration, compression, temperature[3], etc.

Containment or agglomeration - Small objects are typically grouped together in one package for reasons of efficiency. For example, a single box of 1000 pencils requires less physical handling than 1000 single pencils. Liquids, powders, and granular materials need containment.

Information transmission - Packages and labels communicate how to use, transport, recycle, or dispose of the package or product. With pharmaceuticals, food, medical, and chemical products, some types of information are required by governments.

Semi-Automatic Labeler

Label printer

A label printer is a computer printer that prints on self-adhesive label material and/or card-stock (tags). Label printers with built-in keyboards and displays, for stand-alone use (without a computer), are often called label makers. Label printers are different from ordinary printers because they need to have special feed mechanisms to handle rolled stock, or tear sheet (fanfold) stock. Common connectivity for label printers include RS-232 serial, Universal Serial Bus, parallel, Ethernet and various kinds of wireless. Label printers have a wide variety of applications, including supply chain management, retail price marking, packaging labels, blood and laboratory specimen marking, and fixed assets management


Types of Label Printers

Direct Thermal - Uses heat sensitive paper (similar to thermal fax paper). Direct thermal labels tend to fade over time (typically 6 to 12 months); if exposed to heat, direct sunlight or chemical vapors, the life is shortened. Therefore, direct thermal labels are primarily used for short duration applications, such as shipping labels.

Desktop label printers are generally designed for light- to medium-duty usage with a roll of stock up to 4" wide. They are quiet and inexpensive.

Commercial label printers can typically hold a larger roll of stock (up to 8" wide) and are geared for medium-volume printing.

Industrial label printers are designed for heavy-duty, continuous operation in warehouses, distribution centers and factories.

Guinness is based on the porter style that originated in London in the early 18th century and is one of the most successful beer brands worldwide. A distinctive feature is the burnt flavour which derives from the use of roasted barley. For many years a portion of the drink was aged to give a sharp lactic flavour,

History of bottle labels

The history of Carlton and United Beverages or CUB began when Carlton, Fosters, Victoria, Shamrock, Castlemaine and McCracken breweries formed into a cartel known as the Society of Melbourne Brewers in 1903. This allowed them to raise prices and remain profitable in what had been an unprofitable market. In 1907 this group merged into a single company known as the Carlton and United Breweries. The company became public in 1913 with the issue of 100,000 shares.

Over time it has bought out many other brewers, such as Abbotsford Co-operative Brewery in 1924 (a company set up by independent hoteliers to combat the anti-competitive nature of the Society of Melbourne Brewers.) Their first interstate acquisition was Northern Australian Breweries and the Cairns Brewery in 1931. Further acquisitions were the Ballarat Brewing Company, Queensland Brewery Ltd, Thos McLauchlin & Co Pty Ltd, Richmond Brewery and Tooth & Co.

In 1983 as an ironic twist of fate, CUB was wholly bought by Elders IXL, a giant Australian diversified conglomerate with Pastoral, Financial, Materials and Food interests. Elders Brewing Group (as it then became known as) continued to acquire brewing companies in the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States. Finally in 1990 Elders Brewing Group changed its name to Foster's Group, to reflect the name of their most internationally recognised product.

In July 2004, Carlton and United Breweries changed its name to Carlton and United Beverages (retaining CUB acronym), citing the company's diversification into pre-mixed drinks, juices, ciders and non-alcoholic drinks

New Norcia Wines

Peter Forrestal, co-editor of the Wine Magazine, described the Benedictine Abbey Shiraz 1998 as light in body and made as an early drinking style showing a lovely honest fruit nose and a palate of gentle macerated cherry and red berry flavours.


Benedictine Abbey Chenin 2004 shows some remarkably cool climate characteristics given its geographic origin and is essentially a fresh crisp and very approachable wine with pleasant flavours of pear and green apple, finishing with clean soft acid.


After an absence of nearly 30 years New Norcia has again become involved in the production of wine. On a beautiful day in May, the merry month, the monks of New Norcia celebrated the launch of Benedictine Abbey Shiraz 1998 and Benedictine Abbey Chenin.

World's Largest Bottle vs smallest bottle of Wine

world's largest bottle of wine, as certified by the Guinness Book of World Records, was sold on November 22, 2004. The bottle is 4.5' tall, 4.5' around and weighs 340 pounds. It was sold at an auction of fine and rare wines held by Sotheby's for $56,000 to a Northern New Jersey wine store. The bottle, named Maximus for obvious reasons, was created by Morton's the Steakhouse in partnership with Beringer Vineyards to celebrate the restaurant group's 25th anniversary. Maximus is large enough to hold 173 standard sized bottles of wine or 1,200 glasses, and is filled with Beringer Vineyards 2001 Private Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon











The super small wine bottle. As certified by the Guinness Book of World Records, Klein Designs created a bottle of wine for retail sale only 3.2 cm tall (1.2 inches). That is tiny. It holds a minute amount of wine, you’d have to drink like 800 of these little bottles to even get a buzz. It’s a terrible idea. What’s more, they range in price from $20 to $90 a bottle

How to remove a wine label

Let’s face it, some labels just plain refuse to be taken off the bottle. However, there is more than way to peel a label – given a little patience.
The following is a summary of tips based on our experiences. These methods do not guarantee success. Read the whole passage, including the caveats. Proceed with caution and practice on labels you can stand to lose first. That being said, the labels we remove and save for personal purposes are removed with the Bake & Peel and Hot Soak methods.
It is important, when buying your wines, to pay attention to the condition of the labels - especially if you plan to keep them. Decanting prevents drips and runs of wine down a label. Always remove labels from empty bottles.

For the serious label collector, these tools will be useful:

A good razor – see images on the right. These are most effective when used alone without any casing or grip. Be very careful as these razors are sharp. Thick dish towel or large pot holder, Towels (or similar) to pad the work area, A bottle of clear rubbing alcohol, high concentration of isopropyl or ethyl alcohol, A bottle of mineral oil (generic baby oil will do), no dyes, Paper, ideally acid-free Clear plastic (8.5" X 11" overhead transparency blanks), A tall container such as a cylindrical vase (10”-12” tall, at leas diameter), A can of aerosolized spray adhesive, ideally acid-free Large pair of tweezers (about 6 or 8 inches long), A small roller, A heavy book or other way to press labels once removed. Talcum powder (baby powder will suffice
