White Wine For Lung ProtectionThey say that red wine may be better for your heart, but researchers have recently reported that white wine is better at preserving aging lungs.A group of study leaders at the State University of New York in Buffalo say that people who drink a glass of either red wine or white wine each day will have better lung function than those who don't drink it at all.

Wine Cellars
Ever think of building a wine cellar, but not sure about the pro's and con's of doing it yourself? You can Click Here! to learn how to build your own home wine cellar to store your wine in optimum condition. Wine cellars offer the opportunity to protect your wine from potentially harmful external influences, providing darkness and a constant temperature. Wine is a natural, perishable food product made from grapes. So, wine, left exposed to heat, light, vibration or fluctuations in temperature and humidity, all types of wine, including red, white, sparkling, and fortified, can spoil. When properly stored, wines not only maintain their quality but many actually improve in aroma, flavor, and complexity as they mature according to Wikipedia! Have a wonderful Bellingham wine tasting experience!!
