If you have a significant wine collection, and you of course have them racked properly, you may want to look into purchasing wine bottle tags. These professional-grade tags make wine identification a snap, and they can add to the connoisseur look and feel of your wine collection. They can also help you avoid disturbing your more fragile wines.

Wine bottle tags are small tags that are designed to fit around the neck of a bottle of wine. On a properly stored wine bottle, i.e. one thats in a wine rack, the tag will hang down, and you can write the wines pertinent information on the tag. This makes finding a specific bottle of wine exceptionally easy.

Theres good reason for storing wine in a rack. Storing wine horizontally helps insure that the cork stays moist, and thus that theres a good seal on the wine. Wine can quickly spoil when exposed to air, and it behooves the wine lover to store it properly. Wine is also stored horizontally so that the sediment can settle, and the wine can age properly.

Wine Bottle Tags Keep Wine from Being Disturbed
Wine tags help keep wine where its supposed to be, viz. laying flat on their sides. When you pull wine out of the rack to check on it, you risk disturbing the sediment and affecting the aging process. On top of that, its just inconvenient to have to pull out several bottles to find the one youre looking for. You can find good, plastic, reusable wine bottle tags for around $12 for a package of 100 tags.
