Great Wine Tastings

Constant_Traveler asked:


I always end up with weird purple lips when I drink red wine. Does anyone have any tips to prevent this?

Hiaburi asked:


I need the amount of yeast and sugar per gallon to make wine. Even better would be a recipe to make wine.
I am going to use wild grapes and I didn’t know there were more then one kinds of yeast.

Yan M asked:


Been living in NY for 2 years now & want to get myself involved in the wine business: how to sell it, how to select it, where to buy it from? Please advise how to get into the wine importing business?

breadsticks123456 asked:


What would be a good (and inexpensive, around $13-$15) bottle of wine that would go well with an asian beef stir fry dinner?

julio_de_angeli asked:


This is a Tuscany (Italy) wine and very expensive and rare. I wonder where I can find it cheaper.

msp76 asked:


I was recently at a popular wine bar in San Francisco and they charge a $15 corkage fee for wines bought from their shelves that are not on the actual menu. It makes no sense to me that they can charge a corkage fee for something purchased and consumed on their premises. Is this common practice? Does anyone know the logic/reasoning behind this?
Thanks

REEMPIRE888 asked:


I opened a bottle of red wine (cabinet) about six months ago and there were about half of bottle remaining so I corked it back into the bottle. Last night I poured some out of the same bottle and it appears that the color of the wine has changed to deep darkish red/brown colour along with lots of particals. What is that and is it safe to drink in that condition. How do I prevent that from happening in the future? Maybe the cork’s mass is not air tight enough caused the wine to degrade? Is there a self life for wine after all?

brookie5303 asked:


And is it different for different kinds of wine? I will be going to a few holiday parties this year, so I want to show up looking like I know what I’m doing

X-ray Girl asked:


I need some ideas of what to put in a gift basket for a wine lover…
Obviously I’ll put a few bottles of wine.
But what else could I put with this that they would not already own?

~*StarGazer*~ asked:


What is it that red and white wine add to the recepie? color, texture, seasoning??? well, I don’t like to use anything alcoholic when I cook, but since so many recepies call for it (esp. italian ones) what are good non-alcoholic substitutes for red and white whine that accomplishe the same thing?
