This is another great quality of oversized zero gravity chair that is very lightweight and durable. Despite its simple appearance, its large, ergonomic and comfortably made to handle heavy and tall people.
Design & Frame
Like many similar recliner chairs, the first thing to note is its attractive design that makes the chair look elegant and great. Being beige in colour it definitely speaks elegance which makes it idle for patio lounging and any other related uses.
Perfect for sporting events, beach and backyard, the powder-coated steel frame construction is built to withstand all weathering and resist rust. The strong metallic frame is quality constructed to stand the test of time.
In addition to comfort, the curved armrest also provides the extra needed comfort and support in case you need to sit for a long period of time.
Consequently, it is mostly used by psychotherapist, reflexologists, and hypnotherapist that makes their patients comfortable and relaxed.
The heavy-duty legs are designed in a manner that they can be widely open to increase base surface area which then maximizes the stability of the chair. With this strong framework, the chair can accommodate up to 300 lbs of daily heavy use for a long time without damage.
Padding & Fabric
Besides the metallic framework, the 600D mesh fabric is highly breathable which is excellent for minimizing hot pressure thereby creating a cooling effect during hot summer seasons. Additionally, the fabric is both UV resistant and durable, with no more cases of colour fading.
In order to evenly distribute your weight for perfect balance, the fabric is being held up securely through a double bungee system. The heavy-duty elastic cords allow the material to fit into your body size for ultimate comfort and support.
Reclining & Locking
With the smooth reclining function, you can elevate your legs and stay in any position or angle. Then flip your hand on the dual fingertip locking mechanism to easily lock and secure your position.
Size & Weight
Oversized Belleze zero gravity chair is 5 inches wider than the regular model. It has an overall dimension of 51″ length by 371/2″ width and 37″ height.
With that size, even a 6 feet tall person would sit comfortably. Plus, the seat is 19 inches deep with plenty of legroom left a very idle feature for tall people.
It measures 24-inches between the armrests a quite enough space to fit someone wider for comfortable relaxation. Also, for extra comfort, it features removable padded headrest that can be adjusted to support your neck head or use as lumbar support.
Another benefit that comes with this chair is the smooth recline and upgraded locking system. It can easily glide from the upright position and fully recline up to 62.5 inches for maximum zero-gravity relaxation. The recline position improves blood circulation and removes backpressure.
Last but not least is the portability state of the chair. It is a very lightweight chair which can be folded to a compact position and occupy 31″ x 37″ x 5-1/4″ of the available space. Since it is highly foldable, storing and carrying it around with you is not a big deal.
Accessory Tray
Before I forget to mention, the chair comes with a detachable cup holder for keeping your drinks in place, it can also act as a side table for placing small stuff such as phone.
In regards to assembly, this zero-gravity and recliner chair comes fully assembled. The package includes the overall chair, removable cup holder and the detachable headrest.
For a comfortable relaxation set it upright while spreading the legs wide apart then adjust to the right angle.
However, there is no warranty mentioned by the manufactures. Despite that, we can surely agree with the fact that it is one of the best qualities and a durable constructed oversized chair. The only problem is that it doesn't allow total flat recline.
Overall, Belleze extra-large zero gravity chair is another simply designed chair on the list to consider. It is constructed to make relaxing in the sun a very fun experience. Designed with you in mind, this is an idle unit for someone with big and tall body stature.
Price & Rating
The BELLEZE Extra Large Oversized Zero Gravity Chair is rated 4* out of 5* and reviewed by 8 verified purchase customers and it is listed at the price of 79.99$.

Fans were looking forward to Lana Scott's performance tonight on the semifinals of The Voice, and as the only country singer left in the competition, the vocalist had a lot of pressure on her to excel. Scott chose to sing Carrie Underwood's "Something in the Water," and even dressed in an all-white outfit for the spiritual song.
The Voice contestant has absolutely smashed all of her performances in the past, covering classic artists like Tim McGraw, Carly Pearce and Kasey Ballerini. But could she stand up to the ultimate country songstress of the competition world, Carrie Underwood?
Listen to her performance below.
The Voice contestant definitely has a distinct sound. You could watch this performance with your eyes closed and know exactly who was on that stage. There's also no denying that Scott can project. In fact, she could probably fill that whole room with her voice sans microphone.
But loud doesn't mean good.
'The Voice' Fans Fear for the Aspiring Country Star
The Voice fans didn't hold back about their thoughts on the performance. Once the show posted Scott's performance to Twitter, the reviews rolled in. And they weren't very positive.
After one fan of Scott's voiced their "amazement" of the performance, several other The Voice viewers quickly chimed in.
"Okay I get your a country fan but this literally sounds horrible. Especially if you know the song (I love this song) this is embarrassing on Lana's part and I hope Carrie never hears this," one shared.
Ouch, that's gotta sting.
Perhaps It Was Just the Wrong Song Choice
"Is it me or does she sound a little bit off key ?" another shared, as someone else added, "And her voice sounds nasally. Why on earth would Blake give her a Carrie Underwood song. No, not good at all."
It's not that "Something in the Water" was too high or too hard of a song for the country contestant. Throughout the season, we've seen Scott belt when she needs to and land those runs. But this song just wasn't the glass-slipper fit that The Voice contestant needed this late in the competition.
Before we knock her out of the Top 5, though, there is a chance that Scott could bounce back from the mediocre performance. She still has the instant save song to lean on if she has to, but after butchering a Carrie Underwood song, her next performance has to be virtually flawless.
That means tone, pitch, projection, emotion and stage presence all have to be in check. Let's just hope that her backup song was something more in her range. Perhaps a Tyler Childers tune could get her back on track, or something with a bit more twang.
Until voting ends, Scott's fans should keep their fingers crossed.

Three people were killed and seven injured when two gunmen "fired indiscriminately" into a large crowd outside a New Orleans bar and restaurant on Saturday night, police said.
New Orleans Police were still on the hunt for the suspected shooters on Sunday morning.
In a midnight press conference, police chief Michael Harrison said the two people in hoodies "appeared to fire indiscriminately" on a group in front of a daiquiri shop three miles from the French Quarter, according to NOLA.com. One used a rifle and the other a handgun, Harrison said.
They then fled the chaotic scene on foot, Harrison said.
The victims have yet to be identified but one woman and two men were killed, according to the New Orleans Advocate.
One of the wounded victims was in critical condition and undergoing surgery on Saturday night.
"That's my son," a woman screamed as she tried to run across the police line during the melee.
In a statement released late Saturday, Mayor LaToya Cantrell said she, and the city, were "disgusted and infuriated" by the violence and vowed to "dedicate every resource necessary to ending this horror and seeing justice done."

Saudi oil goliath Aramco has broken its own record with a $48.4bn (£39.8bn) benefit for the second quarter of 2022.
It is a 90% year-on-year increment and imprints the greatest income for the world's biggest energy exporter since its public posting a long time back.
Russia's intrusion of Ukraine has seen oil and gas costs soar.
Russia is one of the world's greatest exporters yet Western countries have swore to check their reliance on the country for their energy needs.
As per Bloomberg, the Saudi oil monster's figure addresses "the greatest quarterly changed benefit of any recorded organization".
As well as the record benefits, the state-possessed Saudi energy goliath declared it would keep its profit unaltered at $18.8bn for the second from last quarter.
The organization said it would continue to extend to fulfill request.
"While worldwide market unpredictability and monetary vulnerability remain, occasions during the principal half of this current year support our view that continuous interest in our industry is fundamental both to assist with guaranteeing markets stay very much provided and to work with a precise energy progress," Aramco president and CEO Amin Nasser said.
"As a matter of fact, we expect oil interest to keep on developing until the end of the 10 years, notwithstanding lower monetary tensions on momentary worldwide estimates," he added.
BP sees greatest benefit in 14 years as bills take off
Is there any good reason why the world's huge oil makers won't bring down costs?
Could the world adapt without Russian oil and gas?
Oil costs were at that point ascending before the Ukraine battle as economies began to recuperate from the Covid-19 pandemic and request overwhelmed supply.
The world's greatest oil makers, including ExxonMobil, Chevron and BP, have all posted gigantic profit this year – prompting developing approaches states to force a bonus charge in the midst of a disturbing ascent in living expenses.
In June, US President Joe Biden said Exxon had made "more cash than God this year".

Denver, Colo., Jan 23, 2012 / 22:49 pm
Catholic clergy, university presidents and health care leaders are saying the Obama administration's decision to mandate contraceptive coverage in health care plans without a broad religious exemption fails to protect the conscience rights of many Americans.
"The inalienable rights guaranteed in our country's founding documents are being trampled," lamented Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron of Detroit. "Where is the 'liberty' in a decision to intrude on freedom of conscience? The Constitution speaks of 'freedom of religion,' not 'freedom from religion'."
He said the Department of Health and Human Services is forcing insurers and insurance purchasers to "choose whether or not to violate their moral and religious beliefs."
The archbishop urged lawmakers to defend the rights of citizens against a "truly unconscionable" government mandate.

Top Quality Financial Reports
When choosing a property management accounts package one of the most important factors to consider is the quality of the financial reports that can be generated. These reports need to be easily understood by every member of your organisation and even further afield. It is essential that they are well designed, displaying complex financial information in a simple and concise format. The
service charge year end accounts
mentioned earlier are a prime example of this.
Cashbook Reconciliation
Another example of a well designed, easy to understand accounting report is the cashbook reconciliation. This facility is very flexible allowing you to reconcile your cashbook either once a month (to comply with RICS regulations) or more frequently if preferred. The on-screen reconciliation details all income and expenditure in a clear grid format. From this you can highlight which transactions show on your bank statement. The on screen bank balance will then automatically adjust taking into account any unpresented expenditure or uncleared income.
Another time saving feature is the ability to group certain transactions together. For example, if you have banked numerous cheques together on one paying in slip you can group them by batch. When you then reconcile the cashbook it will show them grouped as one amount, matching the activity at bank exactly. This simple but invaluable tool helps to make the cashbook reconciliation easier and more efficient.
Additional Accounting Reports
The system is packed full of accounting reports such as audit trails, cashbook reports,
client statements
service charge reports
service charge year end accounts
, anticipated expenditure reports,
payment reports
, cash analysis reports,
interest calculation reports
arrears reports
, direct recharge apportionment reports and
data exports
, to name but a few. You are sure to find the report that you need and if it's not pre-set then you can always design your own using the new interface grid screens or the integrated
report writer facility

Palestinians in the West Bank elected their municipal councils in the second and final phase of the local elections after Hamas refused to hold them in the Gaza Strip, in a move that sparked widespread criticism.
Palestinians elected 50 local bodies in all governorates of the West Bank, including the areas under Israeli control.
Central Elections Commission chief Hanna Nasser said in a press conference that there is a remarkable turnout at the ballot boxes in the West Bank, expressing his regret that the commission was unable to hold elections in the Gaza Strip.
It was the second phase of municipal elections after the first round of voting in December in 154 West Bank villages.
Local elections are held every four years in the West Bank, but since taking control over the Gaza Strip in 2007, Hamas has banned them there.
The last elections were held jointly between the West Bank and Gaza, in 2004 and 2005 over three phases, then the Palestinian Authority (PA) announced three times that it wanted to hold elections in 2010 and 2011 without actually holding them.
Elections were held in 2012 and 2017 without Hamas.
Hamas refused to allow this year's local elections in protest at the indefinite postponement of parliamentary and presidential elections, saying they must be held within the dialogue and national consensus.
Legislative and presidential elections were supposed to occur in May and July, but President Mahmoud Abbas canceled them after Israel prevented them in Jerusalem, after 36 lists were registered, which sparked anger and disputes.
The European Union mission in Palestine welcomed the high turnout in the local elections in the West Bank, saying it is an evidence of the desire of Palestinian people to participate in decision-making.
EU spokesman Shadi Othman expressed his regret that the Palestinians in Gaza were not allowed to vote in this phase of local elections in conjunction with the West Bank, calling for the elections to be held there as soon as possible.
The EU spokesman affirmed the need for Israel to abide by the agreements signed with the Palestinians on allowing Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem to cast their votes, as Israel's refusal last year to allow voting in Jerusalem caused an open-ended postponement of Palestine's overdue legislative and presidential elections which would have been the first in 16 years.
Meanwhile, the deputy chairman of Fatah, Mahmoud al-Aloul, expressed his regret at Hamas' continued obstruction of elections in Gaza.
Member of People's Party politburo Walid al-Awad regretted Hamas' prevention of local elections in Gaza, considering this a negative sign, saying there was hope that all Palestinian governorates would be included in the polls.
Local elections are politically significant because they present an opportunity to prove the factions' strength and dominance among the public, which constitute another influential force in the local electoral battle.
The last completed village and municipal polls were held in the West Bank in 2017-2018 when Fatah won the majority of the seats after Hamas boycotted the elections.
Voter turnout for the second phase of the local elections reached 39 percent, for a total of 278,324, out of the overall number of eligible male and female voters of 715,413, to elect 234 lists running for 50 local councils. These lists include 2,306 candidates; 27 percent are women, all competing for 632 seats.
The votes counting process began Saturday night with more than 2,600 local observers, 300 international observers and guests, and more than 5,300 agents representing the competing lists of candidates.
Official results are expected to be announced Sunday.
Elections were held in 50 localities in the West Bank, including major cities and towns, while in 23 other localities, only one electoral list was nominated, which will win by acclamation.
Meanwhile, in 28 localities, no electoral lists were nominated, and in one particular locality, one electoral list was selected where the number of its candidates was lower than that of its council seats, which means the government will appoint the councils of these localities.

Date: 15th October 2000
The new CHARLIE'S ANGELS are hoping to start a new trend in Hollywood - eating.
Sexy trio CAMERON DIAZ, DREW BARRYMORE and LUCY LIU, who star in the big screen remake of the hit 1970s TV series, are not interested in becoming stick thin for the roles like so many actresses in Hollywood - they'd rather eat and be happy.
NEVER BEEN KISSED star Drew, who says they spent a lot of their free time on the shoot munching burgers in their trailer, believes it's unsexy to be too thin. She says, "I think the way the thin-is-in approach is eating Hollywood these days isn't only unhealthy, it's unsexy too. I think it's fun for men when they're around women who eat and aren't self- conscious or obsessive about looking a certain way."
ALLY McBEAL's Lucy agrees. She says, "We're not going out there being stick figures. We're not dieting. We're intelligent, we're sexy, we're setting fashion trends, and we're also accepting ourselves as women." And it's not just in their trailers that Diaz, Barrymore and Liu feast - the angels eat a lot on the big screen as well.

If you are looking for tips on how to make friends at school, read this article! Here are a few tips to get you on the right track. Being yourself and participating in activities on campus will help you make friends quickly. Also, try being friendly and approachable. You'll be surprised how many people will be happy to talk to you if you simply make eye contact. Also, be genuine and ask questions to gain their interest. Once you have made a connection with someone, nurture it and your friendship will grow.
Participate in campus events and programs. Many universities host various events to bring students together. Check the campus events calendar to find out about upcoming events. You can also find the university's social media accounts. By participating in these activities, you can meet other students and potential friends. Check out upcoming events on the campus calendar to see if there are any that you might want to attend. If you can't make it to the event, volunteer your time and help out.
Join clubs and organizations. Most college campuses have clubs and organizations. Look for one that fits your interests. Volunteer at a nonprofit or church organization. Volunteering with a group will boost your confidence and allow you to meet people from different backgrounds. Additionally, campus events will help you meet other students. If you can volunteer your time at a community service organization, you will be able to make more friends.
Join an organization. Getting involved in campus activities will help you meet more people and make your college experience more memorable. You may be new to campus, so getting involved in an organization will help you meet others and get to know your new classmates. Also, getting involved in a student club will allow you to build connections with people with similar interests and majors. If you're not sure where to start, visit the offices of student engagement to see which campus organizations are most active.
Join a team. Aside from being a fun activity, sports can be a great way to build friendships with fellow students. Whether you prefer competitive sports or noncompetitive ones, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved. If you're a sports fan, consider joining a team. There are many team sports to choose from, and many of them are open to both boys and girls.
Whenever you're in class or at lunchtime, approach a few people and introduce yourself. People love to chat about themselves, so ask questions about their favorite subject, hobbies, and television shows. Once you've struck up a conversation, it's easy to invite more. In the same way, you can introduce yourself to a group of people and sit with them during the day.
One of the best ways to make friends at school is to get involved with groups and clubs. If you're not comfortable with the idea of hanging out with a large group of people, you can join a local club, or join a ReachOut forum to find people who share similar interests. Make sure you're true to yourself and don't try to please everyone. Remember that people don't like you for who you are.
Another great way to make new friends is to make as many calls as possible. While social media and texting are great, face to face conversations are still the best way to develop a genuine friendship. If you don't feel comfortable talking to someone on the phone, you can use a group chat to text them at the same time. It's also important to take breaks from your phone during school and schoolwork.
Regardless of age, talk to people around you. It's much easier to form friendships with people who share common interests. If you can't connect with a person through talking, try asking an open question instead of a yes/no answer question. This way, you'll get detailed responses. The key to making friends at school is to do it right. Ask questions about their reading habits, what they're thinking about the school, and anything else that you can think of.
When you're trying to make friends at school, be yourself. If you're shy or clumsy, you'll have to step out of your shell. But if you're a true person, you'll be attractive and approachable, which is the key to making friends at school. Being yourself will also help you relax and avoid stress when the tests come. And don't forget to stay out of your comfort zone when you're trying to meet new people!
Don't worry if you don't fit in with the crowd. Many new girls get left out in the cafeteria on the first day of school. That's not an issue when you can make friends right away. Just be yourself and listen to your classmates! Remember that you're in a friendship, not a teeming mass of people! If you feel left out, be sure to focus on finding other students and hanging out with them outside of school.
If you feel excluded, speak up. While you may feel intimidated by the idea of speaking up, you can always make the first move and try to find common ground with new friends. Try something small, like getting a snack together, and see if you still have fun. Once you've been able to get along, you can try more. Eventually, you'll find friends at school who have similar interests.
Introduce yourself to people you like in class. If you like someone, ask them to sit next to you at lunch or set a time to have lunch together. Make eye contact with people you've already made friends with, and you'll soon find yourself with lifelong friends. And remember to keep up with the people you've met at school. If you don't feel comfortable making friends, just keep up with them, and make sure they remember you.
If you want your child to make friends, volunteering is a great way to do it. Many benefits of volunteering come with it. Not only does it help kids meet new people, but it also helps your community and yourself. You will get a lot of good health benefits from volunteering, as well as more time with your child. Here are some of them:
Joining a cause gives you a purpose, and you'll be meeting people who share your values and beliefs. Volunteers care about the same social issues as you do and have decided to do something about them to make the world a better place. This way, you'll make friends easily and gain valuable experience. If you're not sure where to start, here are some suggestions. Start by talking to a friend you know, and then start looking for opportunities to volunteer.
Volunteering lets you try out a new career. In many fields, volunteering can lead to jobs within the organization you're volunteering for. Volunteering in nursing can lead to internships and professional organizations, so you can develop new skills while helping the community. The benefits of volunteering are many. The time and energy you invest in volunteering will carry over to your personal life, as well. Taking a break from school to help others can help you stay focused, a vital trait in making new friends.
Providing help for others' children can increase your self-esteem and make you a better person. This is a win-win situation for the school, and will give you the chance to demonstrate your abilities to those around you. Your efforts will also make the people you interact with appreciate you and your skills. If you're a talented person, you can always volunteer in a nonprofit organization. It's an excellent way to improve yourself, and make new friends.
Whether your child is into sports, music, the arts, or anything else, you can find people with similar interests at school. Even if you live in a small town, you can attend a school-sponsored event and meet other people who share your interests. If you're looking for a more active social life, consider joining a club or playing a sport. Besides, you can meet new people and make new friends in a new way.
Look for community events that will attract your potential friends. If tennis is your hobby, check out local tennis clinics. Join a hiking club. Find clubs and organizations centered around the hobby or interest you share. Then, suggest a few plans with them to find other people with similar interests. It will be easier to find friends if you have similar interests. If you do find someone with whom you can socialize, you can start a meeting and introduce yourself to them.

Robert De Niro has had it. On Monday night in New York, the actor was honored with the Chaplin Award by the Film Society of Lincoln Center, an award that also serves as congratulations on a lifetime achievement of excellence. But while most artists use their acceptance speeches to reflect on their careers, De Niro pulled a Meryl Streep, dedicating most of his speech to slamming Donald Trump and his administration's "hostility toward art."
He ran through the list of proposed government cuts to the National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. "The administration suggest that the money for these all-inclusive programs goes to rich liberal elites. This is what they now call an 'alternative fact,' " De Niro said. "I call it what it is: bullshit."
The packed room at the David H. Koch Theater erupted in cheers for the actor, who wasn't ready to stop there. He thanked the night's many presenters and noted the dinner's greatest-hits reel, which included clips of films by the "great Marty Scorsese and Barry Levinson, the dumbass comedies of Robert De Niro, the overrated performances of Meryl Streep." The last line is, of course, a reference to Trump's post–Golden Globes tweet about the celebrated actress. De Niro continued by slamming the administration's "mean-spirited attitude" toward not only the arts, but also people who desire safety and affordable health care, adding that that's whom he makes art for.
"I don't make movies for rich, liberal elites—I've got my restaurants for that," De Niro cracked. He ended his speech by thanking his family, including his wife, Grace Hightower, and his children and grandchildren, who were watching from the audience. Then he brought the conversation back to the award's namesake, Charlie Chaplin, whom De Niro notes was "an immigrant who probably wouldn't pass today's extreme vetting. I hope we're not keeping out the next Chaplin."
The speech was a strong bookend to De Niro's comments earlier in the night on the red carpet, where he loudly called the president a "chump" after a reporter asked a question about Trump. The actor then joked that he couldn't talk about the president with Cindy Adams, the veteran New York Post reporter and an acquaintance of his, standing nearby. "I know he's your friend," De Niro said, poking fun. "Your friend is Trump the chump."
"He wants to have coffee with you," Adams retorted.
"Not likely," De Niro replied with a laugh.
The event itself was full of reverberating praise from actors like Streep, Scorsese, Levinson, Michael Douglas, Whoopi Goldberg, Harvey Keitel, and more, who waxed poetic about De Niro's unabashed authenticity. Sean Penn, who starred in the 1989 film We're No Angels with De Niro, ****kicked off the first of several speeches, going the deeply serious, reverent route. Ben Stiller later ribbed Penn for that, opening his speech by going, "Sorry—Sean Penn did all my jokes."
It was Stiller, who starred in the Meet the Parents films with the legendary actor, who delivered both the funniest and the most tender speech. He recalls awkward down time on set with the actor on the first Meet the Parents, where he was too nervous for any small talk. At one point, De Niro noticed a nearby house and commented that he once tried to buy it, but the real estate agent "pulled a fast one on me." Desperate to strike up a conversation, Stiller engaged, asking why the agent would do that.

In 2013, Snapchat introduced Stories, which lets you group snaps into one cohesive narrative that disappears after 24 hours. Tuesday, Instagram introduced Stories, which lets you group 'grams into one cohesive narrative that disappears after 24 hours. Stealing features is nothing new for social networks, but it's rare to see a ripoff this blatant. On social media, people are crying foul. But, you know what? It's fine.
If you're not already familiar with Stories from your time with Snapchat, here's a little more info on how Instagram's version works, since it's a feature you might actually enjoy. (If you do use Snapchat Stories, skip ahead, because it really is functionally the same thing).
Once you get the latest Instagram update, which starts rolling out today, you'll see a series of circular avatars at the top of your feed. Those with a ring around them have updated their feeds recently. Tap a profile pic, and you'll be taken to that person's story: A series of photos and videos from the past day, augmented with stickers and text and drawings. You can't publicly like or comment on someone's story, but you can send them a message about it over Instagram Direct.
As far as story creation goes, there's a new "+" icon in the upper left-hand corner of your Instagram display. Take a photo or video from there, and it lands in your story stream, rather than your main feed. In 24 hours, poof, the all the photos in that story disappear. Whatever privacy settings you've established for your day to day Instagramming will automatically apply to your ephemeral efforts.
Again, it can't be stressed enough how much this isn't just like Snapchat, it is Snapchat. That's not just some media hype; Instagram openly acknowledges the similarities.
"Stories are a new format that's just starting to see broad adoption, and we're excited to bring them to Instagram and help evolve them," an Instagram spokesperson says. (Snapchat declined to comment). Adding stories (defined as "ephemeral collections of photos and videos"), the argument goes, is no different than adding video or messaging.

Working of Alcohol in the Human Body
Posted by Trust care on November 8th, 2021
The Drug rehabilitation center in Mumbai region, discussed the seriousness of the consumption of alcohol in the human body and it's working in the human body. These Drug rehabilitation center in Mumbai region have witnessed several types of alcohol addicts suffering from mild to severe conditions which is a sincere concern for the society. The Drug rehabilitation center in Mumbai are working towards the betterment of the society, raising the consumption of alcohol as a serious concern as it is legal in India, consumed by teenagers to adults to old age groups as well. Therefore, the working inside the human body is thus explained.
Alcohol is basically a drug which is absorbed into the bloodstream from the stomach and the small intestine. It is then broken down by our liver and then it is finally eliminated or excreted from our body. However, there are certain limits to how fast the liver will break down the alcohol and this process is one which cannot be sped up. Until and unless the liver has the time to break down the alcohol, the alcohol till then continues to circulate in our bloodstream causing affects in the body organs which includes the brain too. Nothing absolutely can speed up this process, not by exercising or drinking caffeine. Absolutely nothing.
As the alcohol reaches our brain, the individual starts to feel dizzy and drunk. This similar nature of this feeling can also vary from individual to individual depending upon the situation of how much quantity they are drinking which in terms makes them feel dizzy. The thing which is common to all the situations is that alcohol slowly depresses our brain and slows down the normal functions which includes some major functions too such as the ability to think, walk, breath and also affects our heart rate. It is one of the reasons why drinking alcohol should be banned. If an individual drinks too much, the chances of getting a stroke or heart attack are likely which can lead towards ultimate death. Some of the following mentioned myths are things one can do to come back to a sober self after drinking alcohol. They are as follows:
These myths are very important to be clarified and are mostly done among students usually after drinking as in deciding who will drive and engaging in such types of activities which can cause danger to one's life. These activities are just temporary illusions of sobering up and in many of the instances it increases the sense of drunkenness too.

Product description
Brooklyn Special Effects Hoppy Amber is a hoppy lager-style brew with an unexpected zesty aroma and pleasantly bitter finish. The beer gets its bready sweetness from a blend of specialty malts, and its surprising nose from dry-hopping with citrus-forward hops--a technique rarely used in non-alcoholic brewing. We use a specially developed fermentation method that limits the amount of alcohol that is created, while allowing more traditional beer flavors to develop. It tastes just like a regular beer, but therein lies the special effect: it's not.View all products by Brooklyn BreweryCalifornia Residents: Click here for Proposition 65 WARNING

Very good taste without any off notes so it doesn't have to be ice cold to enjoy. I'm only docking it a star because I would rather it have more bite. Recommended if you want a beer but don't want the alcohol!

Posted on January 27, 2023 by drinkinlife
As we begin a new year I think it is fair to say that Inflation is still on everyone's mind and most of us are continuing to feel the pinch right now. As we adapt and change our spending habits for purchases of gas, food and utilities, the budget for wine (which is no exception to price increases as well) may be a little less again in 2023.
However, treating yourself to good wine doesn't have to mean breaking the bank. So, as wine lovers how can we continue to refine our palates when prices continue to rise? In this post I'll share a few simple steps to help you determine what/how to look for affordable good wine and I'll describe using a few different avenues to get the most for your money. Additionally, I will recap a few affordable good wine ideas from my Instagram Frugal Friday Series along with a recommendation for an under-rated California varietal, Petite Sirah.
If you follow a few simple steps to determine what you are looking for and use different avenues to purchase wine, I hope you'll see you CAN drink diverse good quality wine on a budget. Afterall, right now we all could use some thrifty ways to get more value for our money.
"A man will be eloquent if you give him good wine."~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wine is sophisticated and can be complex, but with thoughtful purchases the requirements of various budgets can be met. A keyword here to remember is "Good" wine and "Good" wine is inherently subjective. In this article, I am going to be addressing good wines that are a great alternative to the big brand names, like Sutter Home, Barefoot and Yellow Tail. I always look for wines that deliver on taste and quality without breaking the bank. Before we get to a few wine selections, I want to share some tips on finding good deals on wines that you'll savor and be proud to share with others.
When you look at wine labels you'll often see a point scale, as a wine professional I tend not to purchase wine based on these point scales. In this post I'm advising you to put these flashy stickers aside and focus on using some tools that are readily available to you. I'll also touch on how research will help you build up confidence in purchasing wine.
Now back to choosing a good wine and an important question. Are those $100 bottles of Champagne really better than a $20 Crémant from Alsace, and is that bottle of $150 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon better than a $30 Cabernet from Washington State? In general the answer is yes, but how much better varies and this does not mean you can't find deals on good wines that are a little easier on your wallet.
With crazy expensive wine tasting fees and bottle prices currently found in Napa Valley and other wine regions, combined with soaring prices of wines from Burgundy, many people believe wine must be expensive to be good. Seeing high dollar signs put on bottles may also make it feel impossible to think about enjoying a really good wine any day of the week. That may be true unless you are willing to do a little work and seek out great-value wines.
Finding good inexpensive wine comes down to one key thing, exploration. If you are set on only drinking your favorite Chardonnay or Cabernet Sauvignon from a specific winery, you may be missing out on affordable wines offering great value and can come from every corner of the globe. Being flexible and willing to explore opens up opportunities to find diverse wines that fit your palate and your wine budget.
Wine Buying Tip: Ignore the Label….I think many of us have allowed our wine purchasing decisions to be swayed by the pretty or eye catching label on the bottle. That doesn't change the fact that labels market wine and are used by wineries to get your attention. Whether a fancy intricate design or a plain labeled bottle on the bottom shelf, the label on the bottle doesn't affect how the wine tastes. Choose a wine from what you know about the region, producer, varietal
2. Consider going to a wine tasting…. If you have never been or it has just been awhile, going to a winery or tasting room allows you to try samples of local wines. You will also get to experiment wines that you are familiar with and explore new ones.
Seek out not only local wineries but wineries and tasting rooms when you travel. I had always been a fan of the value sparkling wine produced in New Mexico by GRUET, but when I was in Santa Fe on a trip I was able to taste more than the brut and sparkling Rose' that you find on the supermarket shelves. This tasting room experience allowed me to take notes on other Sparkling wines they offer and make a list to order in the future from the GRUET website.
American-made, this New Mexico winery specializes in Méthode Champenoise sparkling wines. The average price for the GRUET sparkling wines range from $15 to $36, these great-value wines are worthy of opening up even on an ordinary Tuesday night.
3. Yearly Best Buy Wine Lists….One way is to use your favorite search engine and seek out lists that put together wine lists each year such as Wine Enthusiast's Top 100 Best Buys 2022 that includes wines that are also $15 and under.
4. Shopping online…. Buying wine can be challenging enough, especially if you're navigating unfamiliar regions, producers and grape varieties. Buying online can help you find more options that fit your palette without limiting you to local bottle selections.
When buying wine, you may look at every dollar you spend as an opportunity to try something different and each bottle of wine is a learning opportunity. So why not try to drink as widely as possible? With this in mind, when online I tend to favor Wine.com and I take advantage of their yearly Stewart Membership which gives free shipping along with weekly, monthly and seasonal sales.
Many online stores will let you mix and match, which is a great way to save money while also stocking up on a variety of your favorite types of wines. Shopping from the comfort of your own home makes intentional purchases a little easier and the ability to find great value wines made with just as much thoughtfulness and care as wines that are three to four times more expensive.
Wine Buying Tip: When you are in need of help to select a wine you can always open up a wine app like Vivino . For many wine enthusiasts including myself, this is arguably one of the best and most popular wine apps. Vivino is used by wine lovers around the world to check out comments and reviews on just about any bottle of wine. Vivino has photo recognition that allows you to take a photo of a label then the app will scan it and show you all of the information that it can find about the wine. I really like how Vivino uses simple language that's easy to understand, meaning wine consumers on every level should understand the information being shared about the bottle.
When purchasing wine in local stores be sure to Keep an Eye on Sales. While you're browsing the wine aisle at your state store or grocery store, you may find select wines are often offered at discounted prices. This is a great way to save money, but you should also be a little wary and do some research with an app (like Vivino) before purchasing. Here are a couple of my favorite stores to purchase wines that are in my region of the Pacific Northwest;
Trader Joe's® is renowned for their selection of inexpensive private label wines, however there are some gems to be found in their collection of good value wines. Although many of the popular labels are always available, a number of wines are changed by season and by region. I often pick up some bottles of one of my favorite "house wines" Pine Ridge's Chenin Blanc +Viognier for under $20 at our local Trader Joe's. You can also find wines from Stel+Mar that I shared on a previous blog post, BACK TO GOOD TIMES WITH STEL+MAR WINES for under $10 a bottle.
Costco® is the number one wine retailer in the U.S. and just one look at their low wine prices should tell you why! Costco's inventory of wines will vary by market so at times you can find some low production wines available in an individual store but not at another.
Costco Advent Calendar
Each year Costco offers an Wine Advent Calendar box, which is exclusively available at Costco. It sells for $99.99, contains 24 half (375ml) bottles and comes from Flying Blue Imports which means that all of the wines come from their portfolio. Don't expect every wine to be great in the Costco Wine Advent Calendar, but If you look at this purchase as a fun exploration of varieties and regions you wouldn't typically consume, then this has the potential to be lots of fun. I was able to purchase the calendar in 2022 and found that I enjoyed about 50% of the wines.
The wine selection isn't always the broadest but in addition to their Kirkland Signature Line, they do tend to bring in some very nice wines from all over the world Including California, Washington, France, Italy, Australia, Argentina, Spain and Portugal, many of these fall under $20 price point. I often find some of my favorite wines at Costco such as Hedges Wine Red Mountain Estate Red and Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio which I share more about below.
6. Buy More Than One Bottle
If you are willing to buy a case, you can save anywhere from 10% to 25% on wines. Many retailers will give you a discount if you buy wine in bulk, which is the cheapest option over the long-term.
Wine Buying Tip: Most wine experts recommend buying at least three bottles of anything you come across that you really enjoy drinking. Don't just buy one bottle at a time because if that bottle is "corked" you have a replacement bottle on hand. Also if you have a few bottles, you can get to know the wine over the years as it develops.
A 'corked' wine will smell and taste like musty cardboard, or a moldy basement. It's really easy to identify! Some wines may have the faintest hint of TCA, which will rob the wine of its aromas and make it taste flat. This problem only occur in wines closed with a natural cork.
Something to think about….Wine can be a complex, cultural, multisensory stimulus that evokes our senses of its properties and is influenced by everything that touched it during its creation from vineyard to bottling. As wine lovers we focus a lot of attention on sight, smell, taste and feel which help us build stronger wine memories. These wine memories keep accumulating with each bottle opened building a library of wine knowledge that is unique only to you.
In addition to the sensory components, I think that whatever wine you buy should always show a sense of place, no matter which appellation it hails from, which grape variety it is or in what manner it was farmed. This "Liquid Geography" wine knowledge is also a valuable tool in assisting you when you find you like a particular varietal, say Pinot Noir, but only from regions like Burgundy or Oregon as oppose to California or New Zealand.
There are many reasons to search for bargain-priced diamonds in the rough beyond being friendly to our bank accounts. Finding an under $20 Rosé that you love and can pick up by the case, ensures you always have a refreshing bottle on hand for the summer season and cool weather food pairings. If you discover a similarly affordable sparkling and you are able to stock up, it will put to bed the belief that bubbles should be saved for special occasions.
Here are some links to articles that I think are really helpful when trying to find good quality wines on a budget:
On my Instagram page, Drink In Nature , I recently started to feature Frugal Friday wines that I felt really fit the bill for wines that are under $25 and a good quality wine you can rely on to be consistently produced year after year. The following are some of those wines that might give you a head start in stocking your wine shelf or fridge with some budget friendly gems. Consider this a list of "buy it now" wines you should instantly pick up when you see them on sale and keep on hand for everyday drinking.
I have often thought that Petite Sirah is a wine that deserves more respect and attention. This exceptionally rare grape, grown mainly in California, has less than 10,000 planted acres worldwide and is a clone of Syrah and Peloursin. Petite Sirah has always been used for blending but in California there are numerous 100% Petite Sirah wines that range in price from $10 to $75. Within this price range you can widely find several notable bottles that are under $25 that are worth investigating.
I will be sharing more a Petite Sirah from California along with a sampling of wines from various regions in California in an upcoming story. Until then, I recommend trying Pedroncelli's Petite Sirah which a nice introduction to this varietal and can be found for under $25 a bottle. I purchased the 2018 vintage on Wine.com for $21.99.
Petite Sirah is profoundly deep purple in color, powerful, robust and delightfully aromatic. From start to finish this varietal delivers a juicy blueberry, blackberry and dark cherry fruit bomb often with notes of chocolate, coffee and spice tones that delight the nose and grace the palate.
The Pedroncelli family has deep roots in the history of California wine, tending their 90 acres of vineyards in Sonoma's Dry Creek Valley since 1927. In 1934 Pedroncelli Winery became California's 113th Winery and since then this small family winery has prided itself on keeping its wines affordable for all to enjoy.
The 2018 Pedroncelli Petite Sirah from the Dry Creek Valley in Sonoma County is framed by a smooth patina of oak of the nose and palate. These smooth oak notes mingle and blend with the wine's generous and deep blackberry, black currant, plum and dark cherry aromatics and flavor. Hints of white pepper, smoked chocolate and savory dried herbal notes give length to an already delightful medley. This full bodied Petite Sirah with its complex flavors and well structured firm tannins is a nice introduction to the wines being produced in California from this distinctive varietal.
On the Pedroncelli website this wine is available for $36
If you are looking for easy drinking, great value Prosecco then you can't go wrong with the Prosecco DOC Treviso Extra Dry or the Prosecco DOC Rosé Extra Dry Millesimato From Corvezzo. These all Organic and Vegan sparkling wines along with the Pinot Grigio delle Venezie DOC are such a great value with an SRP of $13.00 and are available nationwide.
Many of you may be familiar with Corvezzo's Prosecco, now it's time to try Corvezzo's Rosé Prosecco which has its own level of elegance and charm. Made with the legal maximum level of 15% Pinot Nero which is added to the Glera base, the Rosé Prosecco has an expressive intense flavor of fresh wild strawberries and mixed red berries with inviting speckles of floral notes. Instantly fresh and delicate on the palate, the creamy froth delivers flavors of vibrant red-fruit and citrus that linger in the long finish.
One of my favorite 'Go To' wines that many people may recognize is the Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc + Viognier. Since this wine is available for under $20 a bottle, I bring it to friend's houses when we are having a casual get together or I'll put out a bottle or two when Friends and Family gather at my home. It really is a wine that everyone enjoys.
Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc + Viognier is a 83%+17% blend that is aged in steel, a crisp and fresh white that is amazing with hearty savory dishes. This wine has a subtle sweetness that provides a welcomed balance to the Umami and earthy notes of the Mushroom Pâté.
For me this blend is all about the taste, a compilation of melons, apples and citrus with a zesty finish that sings with a slight floral acidity and lots of character.
This wine is available in most grocery stores.
No matter the weather I can't think of a better Washington value wine that has become a staple in our wine cellar, Hedges Wine, Red Mountain Estate Red. (purchased at Costco for $18.99)
Tucked in the East end of the Yakima Valley AVA , Red Mountain has built worldwide acclaim and an ever-growing reputation, with more than 2,000 acres under cultivation of primarily red varietals including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc and Syrah.
Hedges has a remarkably consistent method of taking the best of their eco-friendly vineyards and turning the grapes it into wines that have notable vintage variations, but that are true examples of Red Mountain's ability to let the grapes speak for themselves. The 2019 might be my favorite so far with each varietal adding its own unique energy to the blend. Consisting of 43% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Syrah, 4% Cabernet Franc, 7% Malbec, 3% Petit Verdot, and 1% each of Souzao, Touriga and Tinta Cao this complex vintage shouldn't be missed.
The intriguing prominent smoky orange undertones mingling with rich black fruit captured my attention in this vintage. The sleek tannins, rich full body and notes of chocolate covered hazelnuts followed by a warm spice finish keeps me coming back for more.
This wine is one that I often suggest to people when they ask for an inexpensive white wine recommendation, Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio.
I imagine that many of you are familiar with this Italian label and the crisp wine inside the bottle. This very popular Pinot Grigio, which celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2021, can typically be easily found in many stores and it sells almost 2 million bottles a year in more than 90 countries.
This technically flawless and well-balanced wine has quite the following and many #winelover gush over its mouthwatering acidity and floral fruitiness on the nose and palate. Expertly encompassing everything a wine enthusiast loves about this varietal, Santa Margherita Wines Pinot Grigio satisfies with its ripe citrus flavors, with notes of apple and hints of spring blossoms and almonds. This is one of my "Always keep 2-3 bottles on hand" wine list.
Value wise the 750 ml bottle can usually be found for around $20 and the 375 ml bottle for about $13. This food friendly Pinot Grigio paired perfectly with my garden tomato bruschetta. If you haven't tasted this Pinot Grigio I highly recommend it.
I love great-value wines that not only become members of my "go to" wine list, but that are also a little more friendly on the pocket book when it comes to bringing wine to share at parties and get-togethers. When it comes to consistency, excellent value (typically under $25 for their whites and Rosé), Elk Cove wines are on top of my list.
Favorite characteristics of this wine
Each year you may pick up on subtle flavor variations, maybe last year's vintage had a little more grapefruit notes and this year's has more pear and apple notes up front. Yet, what doesn't change is the balanced acidity and great body of this wine and how it always brings a smile to my face when I pour myself a glass or the smiles I see on the faces of family or friends when I pour them a glass for the first time. I often think that is an important sign of a well-crafted wine, 'The Smile Factor'.
My favorite food pairings with Elk Cove Pinot Gris:
Although I enjoy sipping this wine alone, it pairs so well with a number of different dishes including Thai Take-Out, which I may have done a few times! A favorite combination however is when I pair it with my homemade crab or salmon cakes, carrot puree and potato latkes with a side of mango chutney that has a sweet spicy kick to it. I hope you have the opportunity to try this 'Frugal Friday' wine recommendation, if you do, it might just become one of your "go to" wines as well.
The wines that are being discussed here are not the wines that you will stash away in your basement cellar and enjoy 10 to 25 years from now. These are wine that you should keep close to the kitchen and are best enjoyed within 2-5 years of purchasing.
I know that sometimes you just want your favorite type of wine, no matter the price. However, I hope that a few of these tips help you spread out your wine budget out a little more and has helped you know really good wines are available without the high price tag.
I'd love to hear about some of your favorite wines under $25, leave me a comment with your recommendations or tips on how you buy wines on a budget. Cheers everyone and thanks for reading.

"his lips drink water― E.E. Cummings
but his heart drinks wine"
One of the most captivating aspects of wine is there is always something new to learn and discover. With more than 70 wine producing countries around the world, each with multiple wine regions producing over 1000 grape varieties, there is endless information to keep knowledge-seeking wine lovers engaged.
Once you begin your wine love affair, you'll find that wine is more than just an alcoholic beverage, the quest for wine knowledge becomes a lifestyle. As your pursuit of knowing more about this delicious substance evolves and you find yourself with "Wine on the Brain" there are many avenues you can take to help you on your wine journey. As you continue to sample wines and study more about its history you'll find yourself continually learning something new about its depth and complexity.
If you are new to the world of wine it may feel intimidating at first because you've seen movies or reality shows with sommeliers swirling and smelling wine then after a sip they swish it around in their mouths before spitting it into buckets. However, wine can and should be much more laid back and accessible than these productions depict. If honing your wine tasting skills and learning more about the wine making craft drives you, don't let preconceived ideas about wine and wine knowledge stop you from learning as much as you can!
Before I share some ways to expand your wine knowledge always remember wine should be fun, and as with any new experience it's entirely about what you make of it. Wine can be emotional, once your interest is peaked, you will soon discover that the more you learn, the more you want to reveal. Just remember to enjoy the journey as you chart your course through the "liquid geography" as it opens up to you.
If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by the hieroglyph labels and wide assortment as you walk through the wine aisle then one of the first options to bottle that nervous feeling is to enroll in a wine education course. Formal wine education courses are filled with both wine hobbyists and future sommeliers who desire the organization of a set study schedule and a certification exam.
A wine education program is not essential, but it can make wine more approachable, interactive, and fun! Below is a few of the top wine education programs that will help you on your wine expedition.
Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET)
WSET offers qualifications in tiers, from one-day beginner courses to the advanced Level 4 Diploma. WSET's education is delivered via accredited classroom and online providers around the world, and all of its examinations are conducted in person. Final exams for Level 3 and Level 4 certification require tasting evaluations, codified in the widely recognized WSET Systemic Approach to Tasting. WSET classifies the sensory acts involved in drinking wine which is beneficial for students who want to hone their palate and tasting skills.
Having completed both WSET 2 and WSET 3 I can attest to how difficult the exams can be, but you take away an incredible amount of wine knowledge creating a strong foundation and initiating your life long wine education journey.
The Court of Master Sommeliers study is similar to WSET in that it is capped by four exam levels that culminate with the Master Sommelier Diploma exam, which is noted as being one of the world's most challenging tests. Unlike WSET, the Court of Master Sommeliers also focuses on customer stewardship and service, generally in an on-premise setting.
Applying to the Institute of Masters of Wine requires the WSET Diploma or equivalent, like a bachelor or master degree in wine or a top-level sommelier certification. Other conditions also includes a recommendation from a current MW or senior trade pro, at least three years of current and continuous professional wine involvement and completion of a notoriously difficult practical and theory assignment. The arrangement also includes work with a mentor, a research paper and an annual residential seminar.
For individuals who prefer to focus on a particular country, the Wine Scholar Guild offers French, Italian and Spanish studies, all of which can be further specialized with master-level certifications for distinct wine regions. WSG offers online and classroom curriculum that's either independent study or instructor-led, both include reading materials, quizzes and a comprehensive manual. Exams are conducted in-person or with an online proctor. WSG students are eligible for immersion study trips and membership benefits like access to past webinars and a private forum.
Society of Wine Educators (SWE)
Society of Wine Educators offers a range of self-study programs that includes specialist and educator certifications in wine and spirits, as well as a beverage and hospitality specialist course. The programs finish with a multiple-choice exam taken at testing centers, located in most major cities.
The Certified Specialist of Wine works on building a candidate's wine knowledge and mastery of key elements within the worlds of viticulture and wine production. The 1 hour exam consists of 100 multiple-choice questions drawn exclusively from the CSW Study Guide. This certification is widely recognized and regarded by the international wine industry.
Napa Valley Wine Academy
Napa Valley Wine Academy offers a wide array of courses such as Wine 101 – Foundation Online Course™ and support to help you achieve your wine education goals. In addition to fully digital online wine courses and experiences they also provide WSET 1-3.
I completed two Napa Valley Wine Academy online courses, American Wine Expert and Oregon Wine Expert between WSET 2 and WSET 3 and I was really impressed with the amount of information that each course delivered.
All of the above options do require set times, study dedication and of course money. If you do want to understand the growing practices', climate differences and winemaking styles and rules without digging deep into your bank account then a self-taught wine education approach is a good alternative.
There are a lot of advantages to approaching wine education on your own. In addition to the numerous resources that are readily available there is sometime to be said about learning about wine from the comfort of your own sofa without the need to arrange your life around a set schedule. Wine study on your own is incredibly convenient and for wine lovers with a deep commitment to learning, self study can offer a rich and rewarding experience.
One of the best things about wine is that you get to taste it, and there is a lot out there to taste! If you want to dive deeper into wine and learn about its language then the best way to start is by opening a bottle and pouring yourself a glass. By learning the language of wine you deepen your knowledge of the properties in each sip while cultivating your passion of wine.
Components of aroma and taste:
Learning about wine should begin with deciding what type of wine you like to drink and build your initial knowledge by study through tasting. From there you'll begin to focus on specific countries, regions and the varietals that speak to you more than others.
As you investigate different regions and varietals start building a wine vocabulary to assist you in describing what you are seeing, smelling and tasting. Two resources that can help you develop this vocabulary are the WSET Level 3 Systematic Approach to Tasting Wine® and Wine Tasting Terms And How to Use Them from Wine Folly. A valuable resource to aid you in becoming more familiar and to recognize individual flavors and aromas, is by using an aroma wheel created by Wine Folly. This handy device lists the various flavors and aromas in wine as well as enhance your wine knowledge by improving your ability to describe complexities in red and white wines.
Once you have the best aids to help you build wine vocabulary you'll be surprised how much easier it is to come up with the right words to describe what you're tasting or smelling. At first this is incredibly useful, but over time you will find that you don't need devices anymore to help you describe the independent flavors of wine. A good way to start working on these new vocabulary terms is by starting with easy drinking, approachable bottles and moving towards more complex wines with nuanced personalities.
Next, mature your knowledge of wines by learning about Wine Faults and How to Recognize Them and move onto reading and tasting about what happens to the flavors of wines over time. This article in Wine Enthusiast, What Really Happens as Wine Ages? is a great resource, however tasting a range of new and older vintages on your own is the best way to to really experience how wine evolves and changes.
Helpful Tool: Pairing Passion with Practice by keeping a Wine Tasting Journal
Keeping a personalized wine journal is a great hobby for wine newbies, wine enthusiasts and wine professionals alike. Your wine journal is a place to collect and record observations as well as opinions on the wines you taste, whether that happens in a winery, a bar or restaurant, even in the comfort of your own home.
Start with the basics and jot down the producer, the wine's full name, the region of origin, its grape variety or varieties, its price and its alcohol percentage. Next add in observations about the color and appearance, aromas and flavors, the structure of the wine including acidity, tannins and body, lastly describe the finish of the wine. When you have these notes in place you will be able to better determine your overall impression of the wine and if you wish you can also add a wine rating. You don't need to use a point system, rate them how you would like.
The goal is to build a wine journal that can be something you reference in the future, but most importantly, you are forcing yourself to pay attention to wine in a detailed and systematic fashion.
Moleskine Wine Journal available on Amazon.
Developing a refined wine pallet will take time and it can take years for one to begin enjoying the taste of a dry red wine if you tend to only like whites, rosés or sparkling wines. We all have starting points when it comes to wine but eventually we graduate to expand our preferences. Finding wines that are suitable for your taste buds is largely a game of trial and error and always remember that you're allowed to like whatever you choose and still be a certified wine lover.
Once you begin to get a better grasp on how certain wines taste you'll need to start learning about the history of wine, the wine making process and what makes each wine region terroir so distinct. This is where the real effort of tracking down the best resources to assist your self-taught wine education happens. These resources can be found in books, on wine web sites and wine blogs, listening to wine pod casts, or even talking to the staff at a favorite wine shops or tasting room. Another great resource could be friends who are more knowledgeable than you about wine or seeking out a local wine tasting group that gets together to share detailed tasting notes and share wine stories.
When you want to learn about wine, treat the wine drinking experience as a moment of discovery while you savor every sip to explore the texture, taste, and aroma.
When you are ready to level-up your wine knowledge, there are hundreds of books available which provide a roadmap to teach yourself more about wine. Books can be a valuable resource and help you discover why wine is such an incredible living thing. Books also help demystify the world of wine by tackling the many misconceptions about wine. Just know as with any subject there are differences of opinion and many different optics, and wine is no exception. By reading and understanding the confounding joy of wine you may also come to realize you may never fully master everything there is to know about this topic, but you can sure try!
With a few (or a hundred) essential books in your library you can easily turn your wine knowledge up a notch with encyclopedic reference books, grape varietal books, wine travelogues and entertaining books about life in the wine world.
The following books are just a few that I would recommend to get you started in learning more about wine:
Wine Folly The Master Guide: This book is great for visual learners as it is full of graphics and charts explaining grapes, regions and styles.
Appropriately titled, Karen MacNeil's The Wine Bible is considered the Bible of wine though it is a hefty 736 pages it covers everything you could possibly want to know about the world of wine.
Kevin Zraly is America's most entertaining and famous wine teacher who has written a book of his own book based on the field—Windows on the World Complete Wine Course. This book includes topics like Wine Basics, Tasting Wine, Matching Wine and Food, and more.
Jancis Robinson is a leading international authority on wine and any of her books will answer all of your most pressing wine questions. I would suggest starting with newest edition of The World Atlas of Wine and The Oxford Companion to Wine, then to help you better understand wines here in the states continue with American Wine: The Ultimate Companion to the Wines and Wineries of the United States. I really recommend reading all of Jancis Robinsons books, in the world of wine she has a wealth of knowledge.
Maps play an important role in helping you explore wine regions. Journey Through Wine: An Atlas is a beautiful cartographic history of the world of wine, from 6000 BC until today, with detailed maps along with incredible facts about wine making.
By studying on your own you can really build up on the basics by understanding the general regions first, their grape varieties and styles of wine. Then you can narrow your focus even deeper into a specific region, such as Portugal, to get a better understanding of not only the wine growing and wine making practices there, but also learn more about the people, the landscape and the culture. If you are able to I highly recommend picking up a few bottles of wine from the area that you will be reading more in-depth about so that you can get a sense of the flavors that come from that unique wine region.
As you work your way through the library of books that are available on the subject of wine give yourself some time to traverse other avenues of wine knowledge as well like Wine Blogs, Wine Podcasts and even TV series about wine.
Wine blogs present a broad coverage of wine while also covering the latest trends, industry news and new releases from wineries around the world. Blogs also offer unfiltered wine reviews, editorials and wine travel adventures that can inspire your next wine purchase or help you plan an upcoming wine vacation. There are hundreds (maybe even thousands) of wine blogs that have a passionate point of view about wine and it would be impossible to list all of the great ones to follow and read. I would start by visiting Madeline Puckette on her website, Wine Folly which is an award-winning brand dedicated to wine education for all.
A couple of my other favorite Wine Blogs;
The VinePair website has a wide range of unique, accessible wine content including reviews, expert profiles, recipes, and pairing recommendations.
The Wine Economist-Mike Veseth is editor of The Wine Economist and author of more than a dozen books including Around the World in Eighty Wines (2018) and Wine Wars II (2022).
You can also check out, A Wine Blog For Every Taste[bud] which is a recent list of wine blogs from Forbes.
Although not always just about wine, you can find a lot of wine information here on Drink In Life, including my series on Washington State AVAs. My most recent article is the beautiful and Alluring Ancient Lakes AVA. In this supplement you will find links to previous WA AVA stories and in the category section on the left side of this page you will find more about wines, wine travel and wine education.
A very interesting and informal way to learn about wine is by to listening to a podcast. Today there are many different alternatives which cover a variety of topics ranging from grape varieties and regions, to interviews with individuals related to the world of wine. To assist you in learning about wines often with a dose of humor I recommend browsing this list of the 70 Best Wine Podcasts from Feedspot.
The Wine Show – is a delightful travel series about the stories behind some of the world's most fascinating wine regions and wines. Seasons 1-3 explore the stunningly scenic wine regions of Italy, France, and Portugal while sharing history, winemakers stories and of course a multitude of great wines. If you haven't watched this series yet you are in for a treat.
V is for Vino – takes you on a deeper journey into the wine world! Each episode, hosted by certified sommelier Vince, explores different wine regions, their culture and history and introduces you to winemakers while also sharing an educational glimpse into the world of wine. When I first started with the WSET courses, I found this series very helpful in explaining certain wine terms and methods.
Wine Masters – is available to purchase on Amazon and each season currently available is a documentary look at terroir, tradition, and taste. Filled with valuable information the series shares the stories of some of the most prestigious winemaking families and the most famous wine regions around the world.
Wineries can be the best way to learn more about wine. Go to a winery and get a tour of the facilities from someone who can explain the process along the way. People that love wine also love talking about it and they are often excited to share their passion and story. The key to a wine education is exposing yourself to various people and places. When visiting any winery location, don't be afraid to ask questions and do your own research about the history of the winery and the wine region. And let's face it; tasting wine has to be the best kind of research there is so be sure to try as many wines as possible at each new place that you visit. You just might find your new favorite 'house wine' or discover the perfect bottle to take home and tuck away for a special occasion.
Other ways to experience and learn more about wine;
Keep an eye out for wine events, wine seminars, wine classes and Wine Boot Camps in your area or in regions you may be visiting.
"Wine is like life, it must be savored, not gulped."– James Norwood Pratt
Expand Your Wine Tasting Adventures:
Start a tasting group with other wine enthusiasts: Tasting groups are an enjoyable and inexpensive way to learn about wines. Hold meetings once or twice a month on a particular theme, like focusing on a single variety of wine, then have each participant bring a bottle of the same variety (such as Pinot Noir). Taste them blindly, then compare their differences based on the regions of origin, climate & Terroir, vineyard soil, winemaking methods and of course, taste and aromas.
All of this combined sounds like a pretty daunting list of stuff! It's a lot, but you can build this knowledge slowly and because wine is not static, you will always want to find new ways to seek more knowledge about this ever changing libation.
Life is too short to drink bad wine! Whether you are sipping a new wine at home or taking part in a wine tasting at a winery or an event, it is important to remember that if you don't like something, don't feel obligated to drink the entire bottle or even finish the sample. At a winery or event politely dump it into the receptacle and move on to tasting the next one. At home set the bottle aside to use for cooking with or pour it down the drain.
There are many interesting approaches to keep learning about wine, but no matter which avenue you follow, be it a formal wine course or self-study at home, I have always believed that the best way to learn about wine is by drinking wine. As in everything however, the important thing is balance. Enjoying wine is a sensory practice that should be experienced but not every day.
I hope that all of this information is helpful as you traverse along on your wine journey. Cheers and thanks for reading.

What is the Factorial of 97?
In this article we'll show you how to calculate the factorial of 97 with a really quick, step-by-step explanation of how it's calculated.
First off, what exactly is a factorial? The factorial is the result of multiplying all whole numbers in a chosen number (in this case 97) all the way down to 1.
You will generally see factorials expressed with an exclamation mark after the number, like so:
So let's take 97 and calculate the factorial by multiplying each whole number:
97 x 96 x 95 x 94 x 93 x ... = 9.6192759682482E+151
In this case, the number of whole numbers in 97 is more than five. You can see how this can quickly get out of hand with larger numbers.
Factorials are used in math quite a lot when calculating the number of possible combinations or permeatations of something. If you think about shuffling a deck of 52 cards, you can use factorials to calculate how many possible orders there are.
When describing a factorial you would usually say 97! like "97 factorial", "97 shriek", or "97 bang". Personally, I prefer shriek!
Hopefully this article has helped you in your quest to calculate the factorial of 97. Feel free to share with your friends, family, teachers, and anybody who might be interested in factorials of numbers (which is surely everyone!).

text: State Senator Celina Villanueva (D-Chicago) championed an initiative to bring additional training requirements on Alzheimer's disease and other dementias for emergency medical service providers that became law Friday. "Attending to patients with dementia requires heightened analysis of the current state of the individual and careful consideration for appropriate care," Villanueva said. This spring session with the help of the Alzheimer's Association Illinois Chapter, Senator Villanueva introduced House Bill 4388, which sets training guidelines for emergency medical services personnel to help them better serve patients with dementia. The new law requires training on the assessment, diagnosis and care of dementia after each renewal of one's EMS license. This training will also include dementia-effective communication strategies for the betterment of interactions between EMS personnel and people with dementia. "For our medical services workers, responding to emergency situations doesn't always mean performing life-saving measures and transporting injured people to proper medical facilities," Villanueva said. "Sometimes their service takes the form of caregiving to remove the dangers a person's condition poses to them in the moment, which takes quality training on the evaluation of a variety of diseases and conditions." The law takes effect immediately.

Netflix Releases First Look At Tom Holland And Robert Pattinson In The Devil All The Time
Netflix has unveiled four first-look images at its upcoming drama film The Devil All The Time, proving, as if it needed to, what a star-studded affair it will be.
In the stills, Spider-Man actor Tom Holland, Tenet's Robert Pattinson and Castle Rock's Bill Skarsgård are joined by The Outsider's Michael Banks Repeta, Jason Clarke (Pet Sematary), and The Lodge's Riley Keough.
That's not all of the famouses set to be in the midwestern gothic, either. Haley Bennett (Swallow), The Old Guard's Harry Melling, Mia Goth (Suspiria), Crimson Peak's Mia Wasikowska, Little Women's Eliza Scanlen and Holland's MCU pal Sebastian Stan round out the cast.
According to an Entertainment Weekly interview with director Antonio Campos, the film boasts a "multi-strand narrative" that takes place between the end of World War II and "the beginning of America's involvement in Vietnam".
Based on Donald Ray Pollock's 2011 novel of the same name, it follows a corrupt sheriff, serial-killer couple Carl and Sandy Henderson, false preacher Preston Teagardin and struggling orphan Arvin Russell (Holland).
"I was really eager to work with Antonio because his previous films that I've seen are very raw," Holland told EW. "I guess it was the challenge of doing a different accent, playing the rural kid, a period film, a new director. Everything ticked the boxes for me."
The Devil All The Time is due to premiere on Netflix on September 16, 2020
