Is it better to push or pull a wine cork from a bottle? That is a question that has been asked by almost nobody ever, quite simply because the physics of a sealed bottle of wine almost defies that possibility. We say ‘almost’ as there is actually one way around that dilemma. Cork Pops gradually […]
Virtual Escape From Isolation
We’ve had a lot of time on our hands lately, which has forced us into further isolation. But this sad story does not end with an even sadder one, as our isolation efforts have also helped us unearth a few amazing discoveries from the pits of a few of our favorite websites. We’re talking about […]
The Celebrity Booze Manifesto
A man’s taste in a drink is as personal as his taste in women. But there is one thing that has the ability to improve on almost anything (or anyone’s) character, appeal, popularity, beauty, value, and taste… The endorsement of a celebrity.

New Rules for Wine, Temperature and Storage
We’d like to think that a gentleman should know a little bit about everything, including his wine, women and shoes. But these rules are not just laid out to protect these luxury items from harm. They are there to protect your reputation as a gentleman and connoisseur of the finer things. There is a big […]
When Wine and Technology Meet – Kuvée

Motto – A Bold Red California Wine With Macho Leanings
I am not a wine expert. I drink warm beer on Sundays, choose the boxed varieties over the glass bottles because they sit in my refrigerator without falling over, and the last time I spoke the word ‘acids’ was in my high school chemistry class. But I do know what I like – and I […]
How a Man Should Organize His Prized Posessions

Winecoat – Box Wine For Gentlemen
When it comes to class and sophistication, the box wine is seriously lacking. However, in the practicality department it makes a lot of sense, so here’s one alternative. This Winecoat offers a sturdy base and flexible nylon top that will fit any standard 31 Bag-in-Box wine. All you do is take the wine bag out […]
Urban Wine Cellar in a Box
The wine cellar is becoming a dying dream to the urban landscape. This is because the traditional layout takes a large spare area in a basement, a sealed concrete floor, fully insulated ceilings and walls, and a wine cooling system embedded into the wall. Yeah, all that work might not be viable in an apartment […]
