Going out, drinking, and having an amazing time with friends is always a great idea all year round. It's the perfect way to unwind after a long day, celebrate a special occasion, or in this coming week’s case, toast to Cinco De Mayo — you’re guaranteed a fun time when there’s alcohol and music! However, let’s be honest, as much as we love a good night out with tequila or a night in with a bottle of our favorite wine, the aftermath of it all can be brutal. If you're tired of waking up with a headache, nausea, and fatigue after a night of drinking, don't worry – there are plenty of ways to prevent hangovers, and we’re here to break them down for you.
It's that time of the year when we’re all looking to escape from the busy Metro Manila. With the arrival of the scorching heat and long weekends coming up left and right, we’re sure you’re just itching to book a fun trip to cool down. Luckily, the Philippines is a top destination for a relaxing summer getaway, so you could never run out of new places to visit and explore!
Although, with everything that you must consider when planning a trip with those close to you, choosing the perfect place to visit can take time and effort. Which is why we’ve once again done the legwork for you! Here’s the list of our favorite resorts outside of Metro Manila that you can definitely wine down at
As the hot and dry summer fast approaches, people start to stock up on the seasonal favorite, Rosé. It’s one of those wines that is crisp, palatable, and refreshing — which is why it’s no surprise that Rosé wines have been increasing in popularity and consumption in the Philippines (considering our local tropical climate). However, despite this, Rosé also falls victim to more misconceptions than any other wine style. Today, we’re breaking down five common myths we encounter about this easy-to-drink yet complex-to-make wine.
Considered one of the most respected and iconic brands of Australian wines, Penfolds has had over a century to perfect what is now a staple name in the country – and around the world. Housed across some of South Australia’s best wine regions with Magill Estate at its heart, Penfolds is truly a jewel of its region.
With the accessibility of Australia-made wines, it makes you wonder: what makes Penfolds so renowned and highly-sought? The answer lies in the way the brand has been driven by different generations, with the same vision to merge science, art, and innovation to create wines that are approachable and sophisticated.
Wine, especially well-made ones, can most times display characteristics that are more often than not considered feminine – with qualities like soft tannins, floral aromas, and delicate ripe fruits used to express the wine’s features. Meanwhile, in the realm of tastings, a study led by a team of Yale University scientists, suggested that women have a significantly better sense of taste and smell than men. This coming International Women’s month, we celebrate the women who are shattering glass ceilings and expectations in the wine industry. Here are five inspiring women who are part of the rising tide of females in wine.
Have you ever gotten your hands on a bottle of Viognier or Moscato and heard someone say that the wine exudes notes of flowers – jasmines and blossoms to be specific? It may sound off because how could flowers possibly be apparent in wine when they’re made out of grapes? But it is possible. Now, the question is, how exactly do producers get these notes inside your favorite bottles? Today, we explain why you pick up floral notes in your glass of wine – and no, they don’t extract their essence to perfume the bottle.
Wine and romance – these are two things often associated with each other. With February and Valentine’s Day coming just around the corner, we’re sure people are starting to look for gifts to give to their significant other and for restaurants to dine at for a date. However, with so many new restaurant concepts popping up left and right (especially since the Philippines and Metro Manila have opened up after the pandemic), it can get overwhelming to decide.
You have to take into consideration the ambiance, the food they serve, and of course, the wine selection offered. This is why we’ve done the legwork: Here’s our list of restaurants with the best wine lists in Metro Manila:
Often when we think of Australian wines, Hardys comes to mind – and being one of Australia’s oldest wineries, it truly has made a name that’s marked the hearts of wine lovers around the globe. Founded in 1853, Thomas Hardy bought land on the banks of the River Torrens which he called ‘Bankside’, and pioneered quality and sophisticated winemaking in Australia. He believed that more than just creating top-quality wine, there is also something to be found in blending the best grapes from different regions – this is what Hardy’s stands for that has greatly captivated wine lovers over the decades. Since then, five generations of the Hardy family have taken over and elevated the company’s top-of-the-line viticulture.
