Recycle or Re-Purpose Used Wine Corks
The United States became the world’s largest wine consuming nation in 2010 beating out France. 330 million cases were shipped to or within America. That equates to an estimated retail value of $30 billion in sales. That’s great, right but what happens to all those used corks, we’re talking almost 4 billion bottles in 2010? Sure some of these may be screw tops or synthetic corks but I’m guessing the many of these bottles have real corks.
More and more people are concerned about polluting our environment, which is why we recycle. You may already be aware that there are a number of companies in the business of recycling corks, just Google cork recycle and you will get an extensive list but this is not your only choice. Some wineries will take them as well and that gives you another reason for going to a winery, like you really needed that. These are some of the many ways to recycle or re-purpose used corks for yourself.
Is There Such a Thing As Good Thai Wine? You May Just Be Surprised
I always suggest trying local wine with local food. But what do we choose when it comes to Thai food? Is there such a thing as good Thai wine?
The country is not famous for making wine. Wine enhusiasts will probably have heard of Siam wines. Some time ago I was brave enough to try the tasteless, flat wines made by Siam – I was underwhelmed, to say the least.
I was recently offered a glass of Thai wine in a very luxurious resort on the Andaman coast. Given my previous experience of Thai wine I was filled with dread. Well, I firmly believe that one should try everything once (or twice in this case..), so I decided to brace myself for another glass of Thai wine.
