minicoop_jen asked:


I want to start drinking a glass of wine a day and my favorite wine is Pinot Noir. So, what is a good way to store it after it’s opened? I know your not supposed to put red wine in the fridge and honestly cold pinot doesn’t sound appealing. I figure if I drink a generous sized glass every day then it would take me three to four days to finish a bottle. Would the wine be bad by the fourth day?

Katie B asked:


I’m planning a wine tasting event as a fundraiser. We’ll be serving 4 or 5 different wines. How much wine should be purchased?

Since it’s a fundraiser, we don’t want to lose money by ending up with unopened wine.

Please give quantities such as 1 bottle of each wine for every 5 people, 10 people, etc.

What would happen if you drank red wine cooking sauce without cooking it to kill the alcohol?

herbal cigarettes!! asked:


You hear of putting red wine cooking sauce or white wine cooking sauce on food. What would happen if you didn’t cook the wine cooking sauce and drank it like you would regular wine? If I just took a bottle of red or white wine cooking sauce, and poured a glass, would I be drinking alcohol? What would happen to me? Would it be bad for me?

Is there anything in Red Wine in particular that’s good for you, or is any alcohol in moderation just as good?

Kh a a a a a n n ! ! asked:


I have long wondered about this. I know that Red Wine was historically thought to be good for you – something to do with a chemical found only in Red Wine.

Then researchers in the 1990s said it really didn’t matter and that one to two standard drinks (but no more) each day provided certain health benefits.

So is there anything special about Red Wine?

How to clean white wine stain from wood?

rocky asked:


Yesterday at a friends house i put a glass of wine on a nice wooden table and it left a circular mark where the glass stood. It was white wine, but some of it must have gotten on the bottom of the glass and stained the table. It is a really nice table, so i feel horrible for ruining it, is there anything i can buy at the store to clean it? The wood is dark color, maybe cherry or something like that. We tried using water and rubbing it, helped just a bit, but the spot where the wine stood for a few hours is still very visible. Please help, thanks.
