As good as Wine tasting sounds and feels, art from wine is as much fun. As much wine looks good in a glass, it looks extremely beautiful on a canvas. Painting with wine is not a new phenomenon and is said to be initiated from renaissance art Wine is used to create rather unique and unpredictable art. It is unpredictable because wine reacts with the canvas in a very different way than normal paints, it creates a spectrum of hues.
