If you love wine, then summer is the perfect time to uncork your favorite vintage. Of course, fall, spring, and winter work equally well.

That being said, certain wines are especially enjoyable during the summer. Countless Americans will spend their summer evenings sipping glasses of wine, whether they prefer refreshing rosés or full-bodied cabernet. However, if you aren’t a wine connoisseur, how do you find the perfect new wine for the summer season?

Fortunately, you’re spoiled for choice. There are countless vineyards around the world producing delicious wines, as well as some exciting new companies offering modern twists on this classic spirit. So if you’re looking for the perfect summer wine, here are some ideas:

Summer Rosés

Rosé is undoubtedly the perfect summer wine. This pink-colored drink is meant to be shared with friends on lazy summer afternoons, and it goes great with a variety of barbecue foods. This year, some of the best rosé wine doesn’t come in a bottle. A number of startups are experimenting with sparkling and traditional rosé that’s packaged in aluminum cans and plastic pouches.

These wines are often imported from countries like Spain, so they aren’t always cheap. However, the unconventional packaging makes it easy to pack these on a summer picnic.

Try Something New

If you want to impress your friends at your first dinner party of the summer season, then pick out a bottle of rare wine for the occasion. You don’t actually have to know anything about wine; simply pick a vintage that piques your interest! For instance, who wouldn’t be impressed by a wine with a fancy French name such as Alphonse Mellot Le Manoir Sancerre. This sauvignon blanc from Sancerre, France is sure to delight your guests. For more laid-back friends, consider the Pleasant Peasant vintage, a 100% Carignan wine made from vines planted in the 1900s.

Try Water Wine

For a wine that even your non-drinking guests can enjoy, there’s wine water. While wine water isn’t technically wine, it does offer a sophisticated alternative to ice water. Brands such as O. Vine are now bottling water that combines “the natural essence of grapes with pure spring water.” The modern bottling evokes a bottle of refreshing summer wine, except without the alcohol content. It’s the perfect beverage for those hot summer days.

The average air conditioning unit lasts 12 years or more, but often the best way to cool off after a long day in the sun is with a chilled glass of white or sparkling wine.

This summer, millions of American adults will responsibly enjoy wine, from refreshing rosés in cans to rare French vintages with incomprehensible names. You don’t need to be a wine expert to find the perfect wine, you just need an open mind and an open palette.

Uber really has changed the transportation world as we know it. Since its formation in 2009, it has launched many different programs that have made an impact on our daily lives. The first is its taxi service. While many people may think that paying for an Uber every day is more expensive than owning a car, that actually isn’t always the case.

According to the 2018 annual internet trends report, it is cheaper to rely on Uber than it is to own a car in four of the five largest U.S. cities. These cities include New York City, Washington, D.C, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Dallas was the fifth city they looked at that did not make the cut. It costs roughly $65 weekly to own a car in Texas, whereas a weekly Uber would cost $181.

One of the biggest reasons taking an Uber every day is cheaper than owning a car is because of parking expenses. According to a resident of San Francisco, another very large U.S. city, Uber only costs about $150 a month, whereas paying for a parking space behind their apartment was $350 a month. Without a car, you don’t have to pay for parking or even car insurance.

Another way Uber is saving people money is in car repairs. When you own a car, you have to pay for repairs when something goes wrong. You also have to pay for routine maintenance. The total average repair cost in America is $305.55. This includes $202.28 for parts and $103.27 for labor. When you are riding in someone else’s car every day, you don’t have to dish out any dough for car repairs.

Uber’s taxi service isn’t the only way the company is saving people money. Uber Freight is now stepping up to the plate. Uber Freight is aiming to create a shipping service with self-driving freight trucks. They have already started testing the technology out earlier this year.

There are more than 12 million trucks, locomotives, rail cars, and vessels that move cargo over the transportation network. What Uber Freight aims to do is to be more efficient and productive so they can cut down shipping times and costs.

“The opportunity for technology to connect all the different trading partners in the industry is absolutely massive,” Ashley Dorna, Niagara vice president of supply chain, said. “Uber, Convoy and Amazon are all trying to crack the code on how to drive that integration and shorten the supply chain.”

Uber Freight hauled more than 10,000 loads for Niagara last year alone. They are trying to find a way to get a strategic advantage in the shipping industry so they can cost costs. They started Uber Freight Plus, which offers a series of discounts and incentives like cheaper gas and rewards credit cards to try to reduce shipping costs.

Uber is making strides to change the way we do things, and it seems to be working. They are not only making it cheaper to get around, but they are trying to lower the cost of shipping which might even boost the economy. What’s next, flying cars? Oh wait, they are already working on that. What can’t Uber do?

As our awareness surrounding environmental impact continues to grow, the number of options available for eco-conscious consumers continues to grow. And since those embracing green lifestyles may also be seeking high-tech options for their homes, these advancements may offer more than mere energy efficiency: they might even look like something out of a futuristic film. Now, the windows in our home may soon be able to harvest energy from the sun, power our electronic devices, or even turn into a TV screen at your command.

Many homeowners already know that replacing old, drafty windows with new ones with Energy Star designations can lower energy bills. While replacing a single window costs an average of $500 in the U.S., the EPA estimates you could actually save up to $501 per year by replacing inefficient windows in your home. In that sense, you’ll have to spend in order to save — but knowing that you’re also reducing carbon emissions in the process can make it well worth it for homeowners. Plus, you could extend the life of your HVAC system, make your home more secure, and improve your home’s resale value at the same time — all of which will save you money and grant you peace of mind.

While the federal government recommends that you look for windows that have the Energy Star and NFRC labels, some homeowners might be looking for something that’s both green and cutting-edge. Pretty soon, you could install smart windows that not only save energy but actually store it.

Last month, researchers at the University of Alberta successfully converted a smart window into a high-capacity rechargeable battery. Smart windows already hold potential for reducing energy costs by permitting homeowners to block out light (either partially or completely) by the push of a button or a turn of a nob. But now, scientists have figured out a way for these smart windows to actually store electrical energy. This energy could actually be used to power various electronic devices.

Researchers accomplished this by developing a hybrid nanocomposite material containing colloidal nanocrystalline molybdenum oxide. Since molybdenum was recognized as an official element in the late 1700, it has been used for many purposes in the past 200 years — including now, as an essential component of these energy-storing smart windows. Not only were these windows found to be able to power an LED bulb in just 10 minutes, but the process is so inexpensive that it could easily be used for windows in homes.

That’s not the only development in the smart window sector. Potentially, smart windows could also serve as solar panels and television screens. But while this development might be a number of years from fruition, the energy-storing smart window has real potential for the near future. Until these windows are on the market, however, homeowners can still reap many of the eco-friendly, cost-saving benefits that new (and smart) windows can provide.

Hair loss can do a lot of harm to a person’s self-esteem. They will usually feel like they’ll do anything just to get a little bit of their hair back. But instead of growing it back, hair loss may actually be able to be stopped in its tracks.

About 47% of hair loss sufferers said they’d spend their life savings to have a full head of hair again. Men’s Health reports that hair loss can quickly be brought on by stress. Any stressful period causes your body to flood with cortisol, making your other hormone levels fluctuate. To prevent stress, hitting the gym or yoga mat may make a huge difference. A study from 2015 found that older men with a higher level of fitness release 42% less cortisol per day compared to unfit men. If you don’t think yoga is for you and you can’t commit to the gym, try bike riding or hiking through the woods. With the weather a lot nicer these days, it’s the perfect time to get outdoors and relieve some stress.

Buying a hot tub can also help you relieve stress. In fact, 83.9% of hot tub owners bought their tub with the primary purpose of relaxing and relieving stress. The warm water and jets will help your body calm down both mentally and physically after a long day.

According to WebMD, there are many different foams and lotions out on the market that can help prevent hair loss. Adam Penstein, MD, the chief dermatologist at North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System, spoke with the site about a few different options out there. “Minoxidil works well for men who don’t want to take a pill and who want to stall or prevent hair loss,” Penstein said. “There’s little downside to it, other than having to use it twice a day indefinitely. You don’t even need a prescription.”

Minoxidil isn’t an instant hair-growth solution, and many men have tried hair loss prevention products with mixed results. Men who take any hair loss prevention treatment may need to be patient with the product as it can take up to four months to start working. Be careful, though. This medication can irritate the scalp. Scalp irritation is the only side effect of minoxidil, though, so it’s a lot better than many other choices.

According to Maxim, increasing your Vitamin D intake can also help your hair reset the growth phase. Doctors suggest that men should take 2,000 IU of Vitamin D3 each day, especially in the winter when sun exposure is sparse. You could also take a B-complex, which aids in healthy stress responses.

Adjusting your diet can help prevent hair loss, too. Since health is an inside-out concept, what you put into your body is going to affect how your body looks on the outside. If you are eating well, you are going to look healthier. But if you’re sitting in front of the TV with a bag of potato chips, then you are likely going to experience accelerated hair loss.

Try out some foods like spinach, kale, nuts, eggs, wild salmon, beef, and lamb. Avoid too much sugar, processed food, coffee, corn oil, soybean oil, and vegetable oil.

Hair loss can be a very serious thing for many people, but that doesn’t mean the situation is hopeless. Despite the variety of hair loss treatment options, many men and women feel like their receding hairline is never going to improve. An estimated 60% of hair loss sufferers said they would rather have more hair than money or friends. Even if you’re prone to balding, you can take some preventative measures. Eating well and getting exercise will not only help your body stay in good shape, but will help prevent early hair loss.
