How do I pronounce wines properly? How should I pronounce wines correctly?
Everyday, without fail, customers contact us requesting different types of wine glasses relating to various wines and grape types. Invariably the pronunciation of these words is somewhat different from those of the wine connoisseurs, which is obviously to be expected, so we’d like to help and give Wineware’s customers and consumers something back!
A little lesson in how to match the connoisseurs (at least verbally!!)

Due to one of our most popular products being currently out of stock, we have taken it upon ourselves to create an excellent alternative. The already fully assembled 12 Bottle Dark Stain Wine Rack (9 spaces within the rack with 3 more on top) with black-coated metal framework and pine slats is available at £17.95. As the rack is already fully assembled, it just needs to be put into position and filled with wine!
The new 3 x 3 rack is temporarily replacing the Bordex 12, which is unfortunately not likely to be on sale again until Mid April.

After more than 30 years it was decided that Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant in Padstow, Cornwall, would undergo a two and a half million pound refit. This occurred following the close of lunch on New Years Day 2008 and throughout the month of January and the doors to the new look restaurant were finally opened on the evening of Saturday 2nd February 2008.
The refurbishment includes an extension to the seating area allowing 30 extra covers, a new entrance to the restaurant and rooms, a central seafood bar and also a brand new Wine Cellar. The traditional style wine racks that were installed in the cellar, both for standard sized bottles and magnums have been provided by Wineware.
These Traditional Wine Racks are available in 8 different stains, in 3 different depths and any size can be accommodated thereby meeting your every requirement. Whether you need a simple 4 x 4 bottle hole square rack, a more extravagant 16 x 20 or even one to fit under your stairs there will be a rack that can be made to measure.
