February 13th, 2012 — Wine Collecting, Wine Journal
If you are passionate about collecting wines and trying different wines, then it would be beneficial for you to keep a wine label journal. Wine tasting is really all about the journey, and this is a journey that is most certainly filled with a variety of different experiences. Just like most journeys, there are bound to be certain destinations that stand out more than the others.
One of the best ways for you to revisit all of your favorite wine destinations is to keep a wine journal, and one of the best ways to keep a wine journal is specifically to maintain a wine label journal. The difference here is that with a wine label journal you will be keeping the wine labels rather than simply writing about the wines that you experience. Keeping a wine label journal will help to ensure that you remain on the right path in your journey of tasting and trying out different wine experiences.
Just like with a regular diary, your wine journal is going to allow you to record all of your unique impressions while sharpening the observations that you make and greatly enhancing the memories that you keep. If you have never before considered keeping your very own wine label journal, then here are some excellent reasons for you to consider getting started today.
If you are a beginner to collecting wines, then a wine label journal will help you to organize all of your impressions of many different varietals. It will help to make sure that you keep track not only of your favorite wines but also those that are not your favorites. Keeping a wine label journal will add fun to any wine tasting parties that you throw or attend. It will also capture the memories that you have of not only excellent wines, but excellent friends as well. Finally, keeping a wine label journal will provide a truly handy reference when it comes to purchasing wine in the future.
If you are an expert in collecting wines, then a wine label journal is going to help to improve your techniques in wine tasting and to sharpen your personal ability to evaluate the wines that you taste. Your wine label journal can help to maintain a record not only of your favorite wines, but also your favorite food and wine pairings as well. Keeping a wine label journal will help you to record the subtle differences between wines that are purchased by the case so that you can determine the effect of aging on your favorite wines, and your wine label journal will serve as a true record book of your experience in this unique and fascinating hobby.
If you’re not already keeping a wine label journal, then why not begin today?

If you are thinking about beginning your own wine cellar or simply putting together a hobby of collecting wine, then the following tips should prove useful to you. Keep in mind that the main objective for any wine collection or wine cellar is to have a real choice when it comes to selecting a wine that you can drink for any and all occasions throughout the year.
- Make sure that you are selecting the ideal location for storage in your home when you begin collecting wine. Make sure that the environment you choose is one that meets the requirements necessary for storing and aging your wine.
- You are going to want to stock your wine collecting with an initial investment that should include at least 24 different bottles of wine. You should begin with a specific budget in mind and then initially buy the most major varietals. For white wines you are going to want Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer and Sauvignon Blanc. For red wines you are going to want Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Zinfandel. Do not forget to add some sparkling wine and some dry rose wine to your collection as well.
- Within your same budget, you are going to want to buy wines over a range of prices including every day wines, weekend wines, special occasion wines and excellent bottled wines for the most special occasions.
- Later you are going to want to consider collecting wines from a variety of different countries including lesser known varietals from California, and wines from Argentina and Australia, Germany, Italy, France, New Zealand and Spain.
- If you have a high quality merchant for wine in your area, then he or she will likely be extremely helpful in helping you to select wines. There are also a number of online merchants that are capable of offering wine information for you.
- Make sure that you have adopted a personal strategy for replacing the wines that you drink, as well as expanding upon your wine collection in the future. There are a wide variety of wine retailers that offer wine clubs so that you can bring new wines into your collection over time. If you are really interested in increasing the number of wine bottles in your collection, then aim to buy an amount every month that is going to exceed your normal intake.
- Finally, as your wine cellar continues to grow, your need for tracking your collection is also going to grow. There are a variety of database and spreadsheet options that are available to help you with this process. Wine Bee is one example of a program that you can use to help you with this process.
