Wine

The Gurdau Winery, by Aleš Fiala, was only completed recently but the project has already taken its place among the vineyards remarkably well. As its green roof continues to mature, it will almost vanish into the lush landscape.

One thing that will definitely ruin a wine is an unpleasant aroma. Such malodorous wines could soon be saved, however, with a little bit of help from gold nanoparticles.

Foster + Partners has been commissioned to extend and refurbish a winery in Spain. The project will create a new timber visitor center with a solar panel array, enabling it to produce almost six times the electricity it needs.

The Lampadistis Wine Distillery is inspired by the history of winemaking and concrete Brutalism. Located in the heart of Cyprus, the new distillery is constructed from 3,450 L-shaped Ductal concrete modules, eliciting a shimmering copper effect.

We often associate high-profile firm Foster + Partners with massive projects, but its most recent work is very modest in comparison. Le Dôme Winery is designed to take its place unobtrusively among the beautiful landscape in Bordeaux, France.

A wine that spent 14 months on the International Space Station (ISS) is being offered up for sale by auction house Christie's. One of a dozen bottles of vintage Pétrus 2000 sent to the station, it could bring an estimated US$1 million.

If you've ever wondered what would happen to wine aged for a year in space then wonder no more. The first ever tasting of "space wine" has been conducted, with one expert describing it as “more evolved” than its similarly aged earthbound counterpart.

Would you buy a cloudy white wine? Probably not, which is why vintners go to great lengths to clarify their product. Soon, they could do so more efficiently than ever, using newly created nanoparticles.

It can be a hassle, getting your wine to the exact suggested serving temperature. The Albicchiere wine dispenser is designed to help, by both maintaining wine at a given temperature, and allowing it to last longer after being opened.

Foster + Partners has unveiled plans for a new winery that will be part-built with sustainable building techniques and blends in with the landscape.

​First of all, no one is suggesting that if you suffer from depression and anxiety, you should drink a lot of red wine. That would ultimately NOT help the situation. However, it turns out that a plant-derived compound IN the wine – known as resveratrol – could indeed make a difference.

Red wine may have health benefits against cancer, obesity, aging, and even cavities. Now, a new study may add muscle loss to the list. In tests on rats, a Harvard team found that a red wine compound called resveratrol could help keep astronauts toned during trips in space or life on Mars.
