:shock: Wow! Great job! I’m curious…is this an image done in your free time or is this actually for work…maybe publicity. I often see similar pictures and have often wondered this. I’m so used to using renderings for architecture. It would be nice to apply the same tools to a new work sector!!
Bravo! The silver looks great.
looks really nice,
what me made a bit curios are the refractions of the background in glass and bottle.
would you see the railing for example like this?
but maybe my brain is telling me bullshit. :?
american wine…hmmmmmmm
Nice image maxxer.
Chris stop flaming, for goodness’ sake!
Yes they didn’t go far in the world cup, and yes they copy italian and french wines.
So what? :lol:
Nice one, anyways.
I’d love to see the bottle fuller, though, and have some of the purple of the wine be visible thanks to the light passing through…

Nice image!!!
Althought the wine seems too purple to me.. most red wines are not purple at all.
But maybe thats just american wine :lol:
Damn, what’s with the Slander from down ander, guess it’s to be expected from the offspring of a bunch of criminals… :? 
low blow eric…
ope, :shock: didn’t know you guys were still sensitive about that. Sorry 
Anyways we make fine wine here in America!
im not because im from New Zealand, just dont let daforce see it! he hee
sorry for the hijack too, btw.
RIGHT THATS IT!!!
ahhh… I got nothing.
:lol:
So hows Bush treating y’all
I don’t know about you, but the best wine I’ve ever had was from Mudgee, Australia!!! Don’t remember much of it, except the first couple of glasses…
Some of the best wines are made here in “convict country”
:shock:
Have any of you Wine experts ever been to Italy or FRance, to taste wines?
Not being bitchy now, but i have tried both american and australian wines (not from NZ yet), and well, they taste INDUSTRIAL.
Probably because the processes to make them is new, compared to the traditional ways of making it.
“Barrique” wines, for instance, are just now topic of HOT debate between traditional wine makers over here in europe (the barrique, or oak cask, is from Bordeaux, originally, hence France) and new wine makers in the US.
Over here, barrique wines take years to mature within those casks, while oxygen seeps through at a very defined speed, slowly maturing the wine while the oak lends it the typical flavour.
The US winemakers say ditch that shit: just throw oak wood powder in, make the process speedy and the taste is gonna be the sameish, just in a fraction of the time.
That’s obviously BS through and thorough, as chemistry does NOT work that way (slow diffusion mixes WAY better with the oak flavours and just in the right amount. quick, pushed diffusion just takes over every other taste.), but nevermind: the reasons for that are different.
That’s what industrial wines are for: MASS consumption, quick turnaround, and MASS money making.
Believe it or not, there are people here in Italy (and France, i am sure) that create wines for the sake of creating good wines.
Not for the money, not for mass consumption.
And the difference is like day to night.
Please come and have a taste, new world

My parents have been basically all over the world tasting wines.
Dad has his own cellar 8)
The only place that was any chop was italy, but they still prefer Australian wines.
It all depends… you may have had shit aussie wine (which there is alot of) but i can certainly tell you there are some amazing wines to be had here.
This is one of the famous expensive wines
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grange\_Hermitage
hundreds of dollars per bottle… mostly just for an investment not drinking.. but its a fine drop
flame on boys!
ahahah!
Yay flame on!
I do appreciate that there ARE places which make good wine, and to hell with mass production.
Of course, having been in england while tasting them, i couldn’t expect them to be any good (even italian wines sucked big time there for some reason…).
I do reserve myself the opportunity, hopefully, to come taste them locally, as that’s how it should be (there are wines i have in our cellar up the Alps which i can drink only there, if i want their taste not to change. Having the bottle do 100kms by car ruins it :shock: ).
But hey, would you not say that MOST of the new world wines have mass consumption in mind?
