I used to order 375 ml bottles of quality red wine by the case as they were the perfect size for one or two people. But I cannot find them in Florida. Where can I order them?
I’m going to an Italian restaurant for dinner. I would like to try a red wine, but am very hesitant. I most often of the white wines drink White Zinfandel. Of the red wine list choices from the menu I pasted below, is there anything similar?

I’ve heard that drinking a glass of red wine can have great benefits for your health. What benefits does a glass each day offer? Is there any certain type of red wine that produces more/better effects, such as merlot vs. chiante or shiraz vs. pinot noir?
I live in the States and I am looking for a fruit forward red wine…. merlot, pinor noir, tempranillo, etc… I would prefer recommendations of wines from Europe. Price range is from 0-50 dollars, maybe some recommendations for the cheaper side of my price range, the more expensive side of my price range, and right in the middle.

I am trying to stock my wine cellar and am interested in hearing any recommendations.
I particularly like red wine, especially australian and south american blends. One of my favorites is Penfolds Cabernet Shiraz.
I am not fundamentally opposed to whites. I am fond of Muscato (sp?) and Pinot Grigio.
I am trying to keep the price under so that i can buy a good quantity of wine. Willing to spend more for a bottle that can’t be missed.
I’m 18 so i got to be sneeky about the wine.
I like milk chocolate
I like american cheese (nice if it was made from man’s milk)
I like red wine, white wine is too bitter
I have heard different answers to this so I was just wondering….
Is a glass of red wine once in awhile ok while pregnant???
I am 5 months pregnant and was offered a glass of red wine by my friend who is also pregnant, she said her doctor told her one glass a day is fine? I accepted the drink but didn’t drink it, I felt guilty……is it ok or no?
Please real answers only……first pregnancy….
Honestly, the acidity and sourness, especially of Red Wine, overpowers the food I eat.
I think it’s just a trend that everyone blindly follows.
Water or a crisp lager beer goes much better with a nice steak / rack of lamb or any food.
