Port is one of the delights that has come to us with a rich history. It originates from Portugal, not far from the Spanish border. Like many inventions, port came about through necessity, because sailors needed to have a drink of wine in the evenings while they were away from home. With no real effective means of cooling wine, someone came up with the idea of mixing brandy with red wine and it worked. The resulting mixture kept longer under changing temperatures, tasted great and had an increased alcohol content. Seafarers from other countries son discovered the great taste of port and it spread quickly in the late seventeenth century.

The 21st century may be the century of wine. Wine production in the US has now exceeded that of beer, and is even greater than the amount of beer imported to the US. Australia has seen the number of its domestic vineyards soar, especially along the Gold Coast. Wine’s mystique is luring aesthetes and soft drink addicts alike, and with the huge numbers of consumers now flocking to the wine market, wine storage units are becoming a hot item indeed.

Wine storage units have traditionally been merely the pieces of kitchen equipment in which consumers kept their wine until they were ready to drink it, but now they are also used to transport wine or to impress onlookers.

The days where we used to wake up in the morning, grab the morning newspaper, and brew up a wonderful cup of coffee, have started to vanish. Unless you’re a morning person who can get out of bed hours before anyone else and somehow start the day without the typical morning rush then consider yourself one of the lucky one’s. If anything, people are usually running around the house, getting the kids ready, getting themselves ready, and running out the door. Some days they manage to squeeze some time into the morning routine to roll through a drive-thru coffee stand or even worse, a fast-food restaurant, to pick up a cup of java. Or they can wait to get to the office where they brew up the cheapest stuff that their employer can get, as you load it down with cream and sugar. How can this be? How does what’s supposed to be one of the most relaxing and satisfying routines of the day become part of the rat race.

A chocolate fountain is a fun and entertaining way to provide a cascading waterfall of chocolate for your guests or family. The fountain serves as a decorative device for serving chocolate fondue. The right consistency needs to be achieved to reach the correct texture for the chocolate to fall down the fountain. The chocolate is poured into the fountain in the base, the fountain is turned on to provide the heat which is controlled by a thermostat, and the motor turns the rotating blades to start the flow of chocolate. A corkscrew-type piece, called an auger, turns slowly in a rhythmic-like pattern; this draws the chocolate up to the top of the chocolate fountain. The fountain usually comes apart for easy clean-up as the pieces can be washed in a dishwasher. In most cases, the parts of the chocolate fountain are made from stainless steel for durability and allow the heat to be retained. Most fountains are solid and weigh approximately 40-90 pounds when empty. A small fountain contains about 9 pounds of chocolate and will feed up to 100 people. A medium sized fountain holds 20 pounds of chocolate and is 30 inches and can feed over 100 people. A larger fountain can provide enough liquid chocolate for over 250 people for a reasonable amount of time.
