I’m not a wine drinker but I want to buy a bottle of red wine (less than ) from my local liquor store.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions!

does anyone know how to make red wine taco sauce. just like Casa Manana in Wichita Falls, Texas. we know they use French Salad Dressing, but what else I’m not sure.

i need some ideas on what color to paint the wall’s of my living room, my carpet ie red wine and couches are green.
i want the room to look alive but not so bright.
cant anyone share some light.

Wine is a big thing in my family, everybody likes it, including my husband, and I just cannot stand the taste(i don’t know why) Is there any wine that is sweet kind of like grape juice(which i absolutely love!) and red wine is also very good for you. Any ideas on what I might like as far as wine? Thanks!

Let’s face it — English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant
nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins
weren’t invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are
candies while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.

We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that
quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is
neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t
groce and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn’t the
plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index,
2 indices?

Doesn’t it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend, that you
comb through annals of history but not a single annal? If you have a bunch
of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn’t preacher praught? If a vegetarian eats
vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? If you wrote a letter, perhaps
you bote your tongue?

Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum
for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and
play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that
run and feet that smell? Park on driveways and drive on parkways?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and
wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while
quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell
one day and cold as hell another.

Have you noticed that we talk about certain things only when they are
absent? Have you ever seen a horseful carriage or a strapful gown? Met a
sung hero or experienced requited love? Have you ever run into someone who
was combobulated, gruntled, ruly or peccable? And where are all those
people who ARE spring chickens or who would ACTUALLY hurt a fly?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house
can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out
and in which an alarm clock goes off by going on.

English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the
creativity of the human race (which, of course, isn’t a race at all). That
is why, when the stars are out,
they are visible, but when the lights are
out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but
when I wind up this essay, I end it.

I have a recipe for salmon that envolves red wine vinegar, soy sauce & a few other things. it says to grill the salmon while basting it with the red wine mix, but I want to marinade it for at least an hour instead, and then grill it. or will it taste funny if i let the salmon soak up the red wine & soy sauce fo too long?
thanks in advance!*

I like to drink red wine (Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cab mainly), but don’t know a whole lot about it. I also don’t really know what kind of foods pair up with what types of wine. A few sushi restaurants I like are BYOB, so what should I bring? If you know a great website that has info on this type of thing, that would be awesome! Thanks!!

I have wine glasses that hold 6 oz. and glasses that hold 12 oz. Filling the 6oz full and 12 oz half full, I have come to realize that the red wine tastes better out of the 12 oz glasses (same red wind – same bottle even). Can that be true and if, what is the reason?

Because i have asked many people this question and the only answer i have come up with is: it tastes better. But surely taste is a very personaly thing? And i prefer cold red wine, i was just wondering if there was any other reason.

Two Questions. I have a muscadine bush or should I call it a tree, that is growing all over everywhere. And some of the muscadines are dying. How do I tame it and what do I need to do to save the fruit …Also some insect is eating my flowering plants.It is like it is cutting the flowers off.What can I do to kill them…

Now I know why I flunked my English. It’s not my fault; the silly language doesn’t quite know whether it’s coming or going.

I have a recipe to cook for Mother’s Day, but it says red wine … I don’t drink red wine, so don’t know which one to use. It’s for braised lamb fillet. Can anyone help … please??!!
Thanks for the info … have re-read the recipe and it says "robust" red wine. Is that a Merlot?

How long does Alcohol (red wine) stay in system?
Today I drank a little bit of red wine (Not even a cup) just to try it around 1:30pm. I was wondering how long this will show up in my urine and blood because there might be a random drug test soon.

can someone please help me analyze any of these quotes?

"Cholly, moving faster, looked at Darlene. He hated her. He almost wished he could do it – hard, long, and painfully, he hated her so much. The flashlight wormed its way into his guts and turned the sweet taste of muscadine into rotten fetid bile. He stared at Darlene’s hands covering her face in the moon and lamplight. They looked like baby claws." pg. 148

"Here was an ugly little girl asking for beauty. A surge of love and understanding swept through him, but was quickly replaced by anger. Anger that he was powerless to help her. Of all the wishes people had brought him – money, love, revenge – this seemed to him the most poignant and the one most deserving of fulfillment. A little black girl who wanted to rise up out of the pit of her blackness and see the world with blue eyes." pg. 174

thanks in advance ;]

I got the Fruity Sangria flavor. I am just wondering because I can’t stand red wine but my doctor said I should try to get a glass down once a day. Is this fall into that category?

I am a complete novice when it comes to wine of any kind, but I have had no trouble finding an inexpensive white wine (.00 or less per bottle), but I’m at a loss for red. I don’t like it too sweet, but not really dry either. I’ve been looking for a happy medium with no luck yet. Any suggestions?
So far I am very happy with the price ranges I’m seeing. I was being generous with the . Like I said, I’m a complete novice. I can’t wait to start trying these suggestions.
Thank you!

PS. – Why doesn’t ‘Buick’ rhyme with ‘quick’ ?

There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is ‘UP.’

It’s easy to understand UP , meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP ? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP ? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver; we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special. And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP . We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP ! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP , look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don’t give UP , you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP . When the sun comes ou

I need to describe how you would determine the % ethanol content of red wine?

I do not want to purchase on line, prefer to purchase reservatrol in pharmacy or Nutritional store

I want to make a Greek salad and it calls for red wine, I can’t use alcohol in my foods so I was wondering what I can use as a substitute
yeah red wine vinegar is what I meant!

Red wine is supposed to be good for your veins, but I can’t stand wine. I wondered if red grape juice has the same effect.

I read that hot water and vinegar can get stains out if tile floors, but all I have is red wine vinegar, will that work too?
