i was just about to rack my home made grape raspberry wine, when i took a taste. it was sour and didnt have as much alcohol as i had hoped.
is there any way to make it less sour by the time is is done being racked? and also would adding a touch of brandy to the mix to increase alcohol mess things up?
I am 26 weeks pregnant. I have always enjoyed the experience of taking communion at church. When I go to Lutheran church with my parents they offer individual cups, including some that are non-alcoholic, so I take those. But when I go to Catholic Mass with my husband, they only offer common cup of wine.
Things brings up a few things for me, so I wanted to see what others out there were thinking and how you had resolved this.
First, the common cup poses some risk of getting other folks’ germs, especially during the winter cold/flu season.
Second, wine is wine. In general I don’t think the thimble sip of wine on sunday will cause FAS.
Third, now that I am really showing, I worry that people would judge me if I did decide to take the communion wine. If people were judging me elsewhere it probably wouldn’t matter much, I could brush it off (although truthfully, there is no where else I am contemplating having any alcohol at all). But being judged at church would feel worse to me somehow, more crushing and isolating.
Have any of the rest of you dealt with these issues? What experiences did you have? How did you resolve them?
Were getting together with our in-laws for New year’s eve. Me and my MIL both really like wine. She told me to bring a wine for us to drink. We both enjoy really, really sweet red dessert wines. I’m bringing one of my favorite wines (Alba Vineyards, blueberry wine), but I also want to bring something new to try. What would we like?
I really like:
Arbor Mist Pinot Noir mixed berry
Alba Vineyards Blueberry wine
I’ve tried Eiswein but didn’t enjoy it because I don’t like the taste of white wine. I’ve tried Port but found the alcohol flavor to be too strong.
I don’t know much about wine so any suggestions for a super sweet red wine would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
If you could name a specific wine with brand it would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve always enjoyed a glass of wine every now and then. Yesterday, I bought a wine that was new and on offer at the supermarket. Right after I took had the wine at dinner, I started sneezing and my nose got stuff all night. Now, there are now hives on my hands. Is it possible that I suddenly developed an allergy to alcohol??? Or is just because the wine’s cheap?
We are fortunate enough to be able to bring alcohol to our wedding. We have 100 people coming, with at least half that can drink like they belong in a fraternity. We would like to keep within our budget so we are going to have beer and wine only. How many bottles of wine and kegs (or cases) of beer should we get?
I should also mention it is at a hotel out of town (beach wedding) so all guests will be staying in the same hotel where the reception is being held. No one will be driving
Im 18, but my friends are only 17. I know its 16+ to buy wines and alcohol but wasn’t sure about entry to clubs or bars ..
When I lived in texas Sams Club had this wine, I cannot find it if I don’t know what the name is.. But it was in a (electric) blue bottle. The bottle was wide on the bottom. Only 5% alcohol. It tastes like a juice. And is VERY sweet.
My friend is taking me to Napa Valley for wine tasting; however, i’m under the legal drinking age. But am I still allowed to accompany her to wineries without tasting the wine? Like, she can sit there and taste the wine; I can just sit next to her and enjoy the atmosphere or taking pictures or something. As long as I dont touch the alcohol, the winery’s owner probably won’t give me a hard timer right? Thanks!
I found out a few years ago that Chuck E Cheese serves beer and wine. I as a parent feel this is wrong and am trying to put a stop to it. This is a place for kids to be a kid. Alcohol should not be there by them.
