JB asked:


I'm 20 years old and i like to cook with wine, and i dont live at home anymore so i cant buy any. And a few of my recipes ask for red wine, or sherry. Sometimes white wine, but mainly red wine. I was woundering if there was anything i could use in place of the wine or sherry? Also how old do you have to be to buy cooking wine? At my grocery store the cooking wine is by the vinegar, so would i be able to buy it?

I don't want to spend more than $10 a bottle of wine if possible.
We will be serving the wine out of carafe's so if you suggest boxed wine that is fine too--they will not know, unless they are wine connoisseur. And yes, I realize you can get much better wine for a higher price, but I don't want to spend $50 for a bottle of wine.
I'm planning on serving wine with cheese before the whole reception gets started.

Robby S asked:


I am turning 21 this November, and while this means I don't have a long history with or knowledge of wine consumption and storage, I have greatly enjoyed the few glasses I've had with family friends and relatives over the past few years. Because I am not a huge partier, I'd like to commemorate my turning 21 by purchasing a bottle of wine (preferably red) on that day, then save it for a few years to finally open on another birthday. I have no specific plan, I just like the idea of buying a bottle of wine on my 21st and drinking it on some future birthday, as soon as the next year or as late as 50.
Being only 20 I obviously don't have the grandest budget for this, but I was hoping someone would have a few bottles or vintages I should look into--or just a particular type of wine that is always likely to improve with moderate aging.
Thanks so much!

I'm not a fan of drinking wine, but I enjoy the flavor it adds to dishes when it is used in the cooking process. I'm planning on making a chicken dish with swiss cheese for dinner tonight and would like to substitute a dry white wine for the water my recipe calls for. Problem is, I have no idea what to look for. I know the general rule is not to cook with a wine you wouldn't drink. Whats a girl to do if she doesn't drink wine in the first place?

herbal cigarettes!! asked:


You hear of putting red wine cooking sauce or white wine cooking sauce on food. What would happen if you didn't cook the wine cooking sauce and drank it like you would regular wine? If I just took a bottle of red or white wine cooking sauce, and poured a glass, would I be drinking alcohol? What would happen to me? Would it be bad for me?

BiotechChic asked:


I have a delicious blush wine made from Muscadine grapes that I bought at a local winery I visited recently. I bought a case and love to drink it but wanted to experiment with it as well. Is it ok to use a kind of sweet wine to cook with? I was thinking maybe a creamy garlic wine sauce with pasta??? Any other suggestions?

Katie B asked:


I'm planning a wine tasting event as a fundraiser. We'll be serving 4 or 5 different wines. How much wine should be purchased?

Since it's a fundraiser, we don't want to lose money by ending up with unopened wine.

Please give quantities such as 1 bottle of each wine for every 5 people, 10 people, etc.

rocky asked:


Yesterday at a friends house i put a glass of wine on a nice wooden table and it left a circular mark where the glass stood. It was white wine, but some of it must have gotten on the bottom of the glass and stained the table. It is a really nice table, so i feel horrible for ruining it, is there anything i can buy at the store to clean it? The wood is dark color, maybe cherry or something like that. We tried using water and rubbing it, helped just a bit, but the spot where the wine stood for a few hours is still very visible. Please help, thanks.
