Hello readers! Welcome to The Better Drink A Sparkling Wine and Living Magzine .   With a wide variety of publications on the web and in print that deal with wine and the wine industry, and an ever more granulated choice of life style magazines, what does The Better Drink offer.   Simply put, it offers a magazine that gives you a place to come for a rich, admiring taste of sparkling wine and the life that it so perfectly suits and reflects.   Sparkling wine conjures up images of fantasy, luxury, celebration and art, and my goal for this magazine is to offer a sensation of sparkling wine as a miraculous drink in and of itself as well as recount life and lives that reflect this marvelous wine.   The Better Drink aspires to illuminate the lives of people who are not necessarily rich or famous but have lived their lives richly on a daily basis through their triumphs and tragedies.   All of this will come in an online magazine whose look aims to be at once august and sexy.   To do this, each issue will contain articles pertaining to the many facets of sparkling wine and the life it reflects, presented in a range of perspectives.   To traverse the spectrum from the wine itself to those living celebratory lives, The Better Drink has a variety of sections from the more technical Arts and Sciences section to a daily column by Jennifer Barnick entitled In Search of the Champagne Life, which will give you one persons journey to live a life embodied in the beauty and mystery of sparkling wine.   The principal sections are In Search of the Champagne Life, Feature article revealing a person who lived at that special level of richness, Interview with someone deeply associated with sparkling wine, HelloGoodbye a two column section where one authors speaks of a profound meeting and the other of profound loss, Passion Forum, Kernaghan's Review of sparkling wines, Drinkers Poetry need I say more, and Arts and Sciences.   Please go and explore The Better Drink hopefully with a glass of bubbly.
