Generally speaking about RED wine and with measures taken to prevent breakage.

1. I am concerned about current practices by online wine retailers and how they ship while maintaining quality over a - wine.

2. Wine has an optimum temperature. Does shipping via a courier service within the same country spoil the wine?

3. Any issues with water vapour when using courier services?

4. Any concerns with heat?

5. What are the practices by the current biggest online wine retailer?

6. Is there a maximum period the wine is advised to remain in transit via the courier service before beginning to change quality?

Im turning 21 soon and i’ve always wanted to try some wine. The real stuff from the vineyards not the cheep artificial flavored stuff. But there are so many different flavors out there and I have no idea what to buy. I was looking for something that tasted kinda fruity or sweet. I just dont want to randomly choose one and have it taste horriable. I always thought the purple colored wine tasted like grapes but on most of them it says made with mixed berries and chocolate? Eww. What about red wine? If anyone has alot of experience with tasting alot of different types of wine maybe you can help me get an idea of what to choose and what no to choose according to my taste =)
I live near Amite Louisiana out in the country and I havent seen any places like that around here

[Obstructive red wine spill]

Upon this faraway of a Sunday’s Shine
we left our apostasy on the altar’s line,
a small perfection of old adoration still,
a memory’s obstructive red wine spill.

Beacons ghost flashes, dusk will enjoin
an offer of libations, a tossed-up coin,
images we have left airy ghostly twine,
for a second principle, you were mine..

I shall depart far seas of our Holiday,
my cast of expiation never dismays,
adorned a garland time we surpass,
my image and my self-remembrance.

Beguiled will be this world mundane,
dimensions’ adoration of worlds vain,
esteem a honeycomb sweet beehive,
never end this dream’s allegory strive.

Our images of two kids in asymptotes,
trajectories of souls on laced shores,
far are my calls of apocopy tangents,
two forms embraced, in tidal advents.

apocopy = isolation, removal from a whole.

[To all good people that prefer light over darkness]

iam a 59 yr.old man and i had a 4 way by-pass back in 1996 and my cardiologist told me to drink 2 shots of red wine a day, once in the morning and once at night, but i told him, i didnt drink alcohol, he said red grape juice would be the next best thing to wine. what benefits do red grape juice offer for a persons heart?, and is there anything else i can drink that would be any benefit to my heart? thanks folks and you have a nice day!

What are some good cheeses to have with red wine? My husband and I like really sharp cheeses, but I’m looking for something other than cheddar.

I don’t normally drink red wine but I’m sure its because its I haven’t found one I like yet. I’m determined to find one I do like but am loathe to buy full bottles just in case I don’t like them. Can anyone recommend a good red wine which I can buy in a half bottle or those single person servings that you can get from the supermarket?

Thanks

Abi

What brand name wine would you recommend for e.g., a casual 4 oz. drink twice or thrice a week, as a reward for a hard day done, or to offer to friends who come over? I am looking at a - range here. No white or red wine. I would like some kind of fruit-y type of wine. A little tart to it is ok, but not overtly so. Help?
I would have liked to hear from smitf about which reds and whites that have a nice fruity finish. Feel free to email me with recommendations!

Im currently learning about wine. I have a book that goes from everything about making it, the grapes from different regions, tasting, studying the bottle and pairings but im still confused about some things. It offers a sort of grid for an example wine of when its at its peak, like in 10 years. But how do you know which wines are able to age and which are not and when its ready to drink. Its not like the bottle says drink in 5 years. I have a bottle - Clover Hill Vineyards & Winery Concord- that’s really sweet red and served chilled and the bottle says consume within 1 year. But then I picked up a bottle of Sutter Home Sweet Red California Sweet Red wine 2009 This is the first bottle i’ve bought that has a year on it, does that mean its already been bottle aged for awhile and should be drunk right away. will it be bad if i wait till the end of summer? and for when i buy bottles later that have different years how do i know when to lay them down and when to drink them. Please help I really want to learn about wine.
