“If you like wine and have kids,” writes Deb Harkness on the blog Serious Eats, chances are they will grow up with some interest in wine, too. Even your nieces and nephews may get turned on to the grape. So why not keep track of what you're drinking, with whom, and maybe even what meal it accompanied? It's a good way for you to record your changing experiences with wine.” Harkness urges would-be wine enthusiasts to think of the wine scrapbook as personal, idiosyncratic extension of any diary or journal. “To get started you don't need anything more glamorous or expensive than an unused diary,” she advises. “Some steam, some elbow grease, and some glue and you're set. Then, sometime during the next quarter of a century, you can hand it down to the next generation. If they're anything like me, they'll be thrilled to receive it.” (Thanks to Amanda Bowers for the link.)
