Welcome to the VINVM Journal. Here you will find interesting reading material about various wine related subjects as well as updates about life in general at VINVM. We will also try to keep you up to date about various wine tastings we will be attending and any winery trips that we will go on. Instead of calling it a blog, we thought “Journal” is a better word to use as it is a mixture of latest news, wine related articles and some great special offers that we will be listing occasionally. We sincerely hope that you will enjoy the content, and please do send us your comments and recommendations. We would love to hear what you have to say.
Festive Tipples
Whether you’re cooking for 20 or you’ve been invited along to a special meal that you haven’t had to cook, we’ve got the perfect bottle for every occasion, so that all you have to do is relax and enjoy.
Merlot
Due to it’s versatility and ability to grow in both cool and warm climates, you can find Merlot wine being produced all over the world. Check out this article for some more information and Merlot facts!
Pinotage
We take a look at the fascinating story of South Africa’s national wine, why it has been maligned in the past and why now is definitely the best time to give it a second look.
Making Mulled Wine at Home
Although it is possible to buy premixed mulled wine or mulling sachets at the supermarket, we think there is no substitute to mixing your own mulled wine at home
Low Tannin Red Wine
Low-tannin reds are generally lighter and more refreshing than other reds (some are even served chilled) which makes them ideal for summer drinking.
Orange Wines
This new kid on the block is actually an ancient wine, which has started to experience a resurgence in popularity.
Provence Style Rosé and Beyond
Even with the warmer weather looking to be on its way out, there is no need to let go of that summer taste just yet.
