The rule of thumb: white wine with chicken or fish, red with meat,doesn't take into account a meal's layers of flavors or the distinctive flavor differences among red and white wines. Some wine experts say the right wine is a matter of personal preference. People have differnet taste buds.

Many people with even just a basic understanding of wine know that there are certain "rules" about what is and is not proper when it comes to your menu and your choice of red or white, specifically, red meat means red wine, and everything else means white. But what's the real difference between these two choices... The Rancillio espresso machine is without question a truly authentic Italian machine. See similar questions...

Balloon glasses are used for red wine, since that is served at room temperature. The bowl of the glass should be held in your hand. On the contrary white wine is served chilled, and you would hold that glass by the stem so as not to get your warm hands on the bowl holding the wine. See similar questions...

For both red and white, we recommend 55oF. Place the reds on top, the whites on the bottom. The cold air is heavier and sinks. See similar questions...

Actually, there is more than one style stem intended for red wine and some, like the Burgundy style glass, are oversized. The standard red wine glass is only a couple ounces larger than a regular white wine glass, but the shape is vastly different. Red wine should be served at room temperature. Therefore, it should be held by the bowl to keep the wine at the appropriate temperature. See similar questions...

The temperature display in the system tray will flash red if a severe weather alert has been issued for your location. It will continue to blink until you have read the alert. Once you have read the alert, the icon will continue to be red so long as the alert is in effect. The icon will change to blue once the alert has expired. To fix this, you must remove the temporary Internet Explorer files, click on the Internet Explorer button in the quick launch tray next to the "Start" button. See similar questions...

There are four major types of wine: red, white, rosé (or blush), and champagne. As far as dining is concerned, we are going to focus only on the first two types since champagne is its own animal. Color is the first and easiest distinguishing feature of wine. As we hinted at earlier, the main difference between red and white wine is that grape juice used to make red wine contains skins, seeds, and stems. See similar questions...

Although there is room for individual preference, my strong opinion is that most people drink their red wines too warm and their white wines too cold. Because alcohol has a lower boiling point than water, alcohol molecules become more active relative to the other components in a wine that is too warm. The result is that the wine is thrown off balance: you taste the heat of the alcohol over the fruit and other components. The alcohol then tends to overemphasize any bitterness in the wine.

Red wine stains are easiest to remove if they are still wet. If you can't deal with the problem immediately, lay a wet towel over the carpet area or put the affected clothing to soak until you can treat it.

No. More then one average size serving is abuse. Switching types of alcohol to control drinking is an example of denial, a common pattern of rationalization among alcohol dependent individuals. See similar questions...

This depends what type of wine is being served. As a rule, whites are chilled and reds are not. A white should be served at around 55 degrees and reds should be served at room temperature. If a wine is too cold, the flavor remains restrained. Sometimes reds are lightly chilled in the summertime. This works better with berry-fruit flavored wines such as pinot noir.

Since our Wine Captains are designed and manufactured differently than our refrigerators, they are able to maintain three approximate temperature zones. See similar questions...

White wines should be served cool to avoid a dull flavor. Red wine should be served warm to enhance the flavor. (If served cold, the scent and flavor is dull). Your refrigerator temperature is around 35F. We recommend white wine be served within the first 10 minutes out of the refrigerator. Red wine should be served much warmer (room temp. about 60-65F.)

Observational studies have shown lower risk of cardiovascular events in patients who regularly drink red wine. Since these early observations, several studies have suggested that it may be just the alcohol that confers these benefits, although there may be some benefit in the grape as well. Males who have two drinks a day and women who have one drink (beer - 12 ounces, wine - 5 ounces, liquor - 1 ounce) had a heart disease risk reduction of 30 to 50%. See similar questions...

Red wine contains antioxidants, especially when made from pinot noir grapes. Burgundy, Bordeaux and grapes grown in Chilean valleys are especially rich them. Although these antioxidants have been linked with helping to lower the rate of heart disease, it is actually the alcohol in red wine which helps to relax blood vessel walls and has this potentially protective effect. This means that beer, spirits and other alcoholic drinks have the same effects and therefore are also 'good' for the heart. See similar questions...

Most room temperatures that are comfortable for humans, are too warm to appreciate a red wine fully. The best temperature to serve a red is 62-65 degrees, which is slightly cooler than most rooms most of the year. When red wines are served warm, such as at 70 degrees or more, the alcohol taste is more pronounced, the fruit less obvious, and the acids and tannins are sharper. See similar questions...

Every light source whether sunlight, flash, incandescent, fluorescent or tungsten halogen lamps has a 'colour temperature' which describes its overall colour within the spectrum. Although some lighting may appear to be white, when photographed the camera may record a yellowish, reddish or bluish cast to the light. This affects how 'true' the colour appears in the finished image and explains why colour reproduction of paintings and fabrics is often very approximate. See similar questions...

A large number of studies have been conducted to try to determine what ingredient in alcoholic beverages results in a reduced risk of heart disease. As a result of these studies we now know that it is not the colour, type or brand of the beverage but the alcohol itself that is associated with reduced risk of heart attack or certain types of strokes. Any form of alcohol may help your heart; it doesn't have to be wine. See similar questions...
