A little info about me....

A little info about me and how this blog came about....

I am a self confessed Wineaux and love to learn about and teach about the wonderful world of wine.

All of my education thus far has been through the highly regarded school of hard knocks. And though I find myself to be extremely technically challenged, my love of wine forced me to delve into the blogging world and start a wine blog in the hopes that fellow Wineauxs would contribute to my passion for education in this field.

But beware....this is a snob free zone. Any know-it-alls will not be allowed in this classroom.

How to turn wine green...

No matter what your preference is in wine-white, red or rose- you can always think green once the wine is gone. Recycle the empty bottle, or perhaps use it for something else. The 375 ml bottles (1/2 bottles) make great containers for olive oil. And don't forget the cork. While those with a creative mind might turn them into trivets, wreaths or bulletin boards, others are creating a demand for recycling. Recycled corks are being used as floor tiles, agricultural products, sporting equipment and more. To find out whether there's a cork recycling location in your area visit www.recork.org. Turning wine green is easier than you think.
