I am making a baked chicken recipe that calls for white wine. I’m assuming I should use dry? Does anyone have a good CHEAP brand to use? And any suggestions for what type of dry wine? Thank you!

I have an opened but recorked bottle of white wine that has been in my fridge for a couple of months (I think). I have a recipe that says it needs white wine. If that white wine is bad, what can I use instead because I have no other white wine.
The wine is for risotto. I pulled the cork out of the bottle, and i smelled the wine and it smells ok.

I’m 20 years old and i like to cook with wine, and i dont live at home anymore so i cant buy any. And a few of my recipes ask for red wine, or sherry. Sometimes white wine, but mainly red wine. I was woundering if there was anything i could use in place of the wine or sherry? Also how old do you have to be to buy cooking wine? At my grocery store the cooking wine is by the vinegar, so would i be able to buy it?

I’m not a drinker, so I have no idea!
But, I do know that I have some white wine glasses that I’d like to sell…

I usually drink beer and mixed drinks but I really want to start drinking red wine instead. I don’t drink often and every red wine I’ve tasted was too strong and couldn’t take a second sip. Whenever I attend nicer occasions when there is mostly wines served, I usually just head to the sparkling wine or champagne. I know there are many types of reds, like merlot, pinot noir, etc. Any suggestions on types of reds that are not too strong that a beginner could handle.

My girlfriend spilled red wine on our cream colored duvet color. Whats the best solution to get it out? Ive already sprayed Shout on it.

Sher asked:


I have a half wine barrel that was used for a dark red wine (the inside is stained red). I have heard that these can be hazardous for the plants. What is the best way to clean it out so that I can use it as a planter without killing my plants?
I live in wine country and yes, this is recently cut open. You can still smell the VERY strong smell of burgundy from the barrel – just by standing near it.

Every Christmas my grandmother (her parents were northern Italian) makes these amazing cookies. It’s a pretty simple recipe with red wine, olive oil, flour and sugar. The dough barely sticks together and they get rolled into little wreaths/loops and then dipped in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar before they’re baked. They come out as slightly sweet, winey, hard, crumbly cookies. We just call them Nana’s wine cookies for now, but curious to know what they are really called.
It’s not the name of the wine I’m looking for (usually use whatever we want to drink that night). Both the recipes sound like tasty alternatives. I was hoping for a name of the cookies though. Something like anelli di vino if I had to completely make something up.

Really, what is the difference between red wine and white wine because they all taste the same to me. What kind of wine do you like?

It is our 3 year anniversary on Saturday and we don’t really like going out, so we are going to do a fancy dinner at home. We decided to do a traditional cheese fondue for something special and different. What is a good white wine to go with fondue?? Nothing too dry or too expensive please!
I would really like is specific wines (type, and brand or name) please b/c I am pretty familar with most wine types. I often drink chardonnay and a good Chenin Blanc, but am looking for something new and good to go with fondue
