I know a glass of red wine is good for heart. But it has some alcohol in it. Is there anything available like a glass of red wine a day – but not wine – which will still have all the goodness of red wine? Sorry beer drinkers…

i’m making greek salad….i have white, cider and rice viegar in the house as well as red wine…..but it calls for red wine vinegar!
Some best red wine are not being sold here in Philippines.
I made muscadine jelly following a recipe just for muscadines. 24 hours later it did not set. Instead of the sure gel brand pectin I used the ball brand pectin for the first time. What can I do to get the jelly to set (foolproof)? Has anyone had problems with the ball brand pectin? Can I now try using the sure gel brand to get it to set after using the ball brand?
I am having a dinner with scallops and cranberry salsa, potato and parsnip mash, and squash. The guests all like red wine and I think the meal could handle a red but not sure what one would be best.
I bought a bootle of good red wine but can’t finish it and forget to drink the half bottle of it in a day, can I drink it after two days. I am not good at drinking red wine . Usaully I drink a glass of it and share it with others.
Lets face it.
English is a stupid language.

If there is an encyclopedia of wine knowledge on one website, i want to know that website. I want it to have everything i need to know about wine. Everything from "How do i make muscadine grapes into a drier more full bodied red wine" to " what are some great wines that are coming out and when are they expected to peek." Please any help is appreciated, I just started making wine. I have always enjoyed wine but i am just starting to realize how big the wine world is.
I had a Fontana Dolce red wine that had a sugar content number of 3. I was wondering what other red wines have higher numbers, 2 or 3.
I was given a bottle of red wine for my birthday (late september) that I’ve only drank one glass from, but have kept it refrigerated and corked. Is it still good? I also have another bottle that I received at the end of a Thanksgiving party that is half full, and has also been properly corked after it was openned. Are either of these bottles still good? Or should I just dump them?
What’s the purpose of adding red wine to spaghetti sauce and what does it do to the taste? Does the spaghetti sauce end up tasting like wine?
I had a bottle of Hatteras Red Muscadine wine that a friend gave me a few weeks back. When she gave it to me, we opened it, and drank a few glasses, and then closed it. I haven’t drank it in about two weeks, and when I went to open the bottle again the cork popped out like a champagne cork. Is this supposed to happen or is there probably bacteria in my wine? To drink.. Or not to drink… ?
I just opened a bottle of red wine that I had lying around and, much to my surprise, it’s sparkling. I was going to drink some tonight and use the rest tomorrow in a pasta sauce. Now (and this might sound a little silly) will the fact that the wine is fizzy have any effect on the sauce? I don’t want my dinner to taste fizzy!
It is proper wine, not a wine cooler.
Let’s face it, English is a stupid language.

And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.

It’s common sense that red wine goes well with red meat and white wine goes well with fish.
But what happens if I eat fish with red wine or eat steak with white wine?
Is it bad for health?
Or is it just because such combinations aren’t as good as the recommended combinations in terms of taste?
I am 16 right now and my dad allows me to have a sip of his wine when he drinks it, and I usually drink water because I dont enjoy the taste very much. My mom likes it and my dad also does. Do you think when I grow older, I will enjoy it and drink it often? Will my taste buds change?
I’m typically a red wine drinker (sangiovese and merlot in particular). I have yet to develop a taste for white wine, but I wanted to start trying some out. Any white wine suggestions for a red wine lover?
I know muscadine grapes are out of season right now, but I should be able to order some or buy them somewhere. I love to eat them. I’m pregnant and craving them right now. Someone please help me find them. I have not been able to find them anywhere.
What makes red wine red and white wine white?

I have been strictly going to the gym and eating very healthy to gain about 15 pounds of muscle (I want to gain weight). I know that drinking a bit of red wine every night is good for health, especially my heart. But how does it affect my work out and muscles? I assume alcohol is bad for someone who wants to gain muscle/mass?
