Now may be a good time to invest…in wine? I’ve gotta hand it to Cornell’s Center for Hospitality Research; they come up with good ideas and back them up with tons of facts. The latest email I got from them suggests that there is a science to buying the right wines and consuming them at their peak. If you sign up for a free account, you can read their entire report here. It’s got all the info you need to create a winning wine cellar, whether it’s for your restaurant, your bar, or your home.

In the twenty page report, you’ll get plenty of charts to illustrate points, but one idea has really stuck with me:
In attending a wine tasting of Bordeaux wines, the authors were treated to the following advice by a wine grower from the area: “Always buy three cases—one to drink over time to identify when the wine has reached its peak; the second to enjoy at its peak in a party with one’s friends; and the third to sell on the auction market to generate funds to repeat the process.”
Sounds good to me! The report is a nice read for anyone interested in wine for fun, and it’s especially useful to restaurateurs looking to increase profits through alcohol. Serv-U carries a variety of wine equipment and wine supplies; if you can’t find what you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to call, email, or chat online with us.
And for anyone looking for more fun info about wine, don’t forget about WineLibraryTV there at the bottom of my blogroll; Gary Vaynerchuk is the host and he’s nothing if not entertaining!
