Wine takes the stage alongside cheese on this dairy-heavy holiday, with new stylish wine stands becoming central pieces that upgrade the table.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">The new pieces, while practical, maintain their artistic value. One example is a stand shaped like a figurine that holds both a wine bottle and a corkscrew. Another, more natural-looking example is a wooden stand that creates a winery atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">Other, more elaborate stands hold wine glasses alongside the bottle, saving space on an already crowded Shavuot table.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">Wine-related gadgets have become popular as well, including wine-temperature thermometers and air-pressure bottle openers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">In the case of the thermostat, the device found its way into private households after originally being used only by full-on wine connoisseurs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">All these details show an upward trend in Israeli wine culture, one based on the enjoyment of wine rather than on its quantitative consumption alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Global wine consumption fell to a 27-year low in 2025, according to research by the International Organization of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":122339,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[33],"tags":[6387,37,2280,499,36967,5679],"class_list":["post-122338","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-art","tag-israel","tag-jewish-holidays","tag-judaism","tag-shavuot","tag-wine"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116604709736177523","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=122338"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122338\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/122339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=122338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=122338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=122338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
