Question: Why
do some wines give you a headache?Answer: Other than drinking too much wine, the culprit is usually the histamine found in grape skins. Headaches are associated with red wines more often than whites because red wine has spent more time in contact with crushed grape skins, which give it its color and tannins, and impart histamines.
Question: How
long will wine keep once opened?Answer: If you simply recork it and pop it back in the fridge (red and white can both be refrigerated), it will last two to three days before loosing flavor. You can also buy some CO2 gas products like Private Preserve, which will extend the life of the wine up to two weeks. Before the wine turns bad, you can also use it for cooking or to make homemade vinegar.
Question: How
many servings can I get from a bottle of wine?Answer: You can get five generous (5-ounce) pours out of a 750 ml bottle. For a wine tasting where people are taking smaller sips of several wines, count on a good dozen 2-ounce tastes per bottle.
Question: How
many calories are there in a glass of wine? What about carbohydrates?Answer: The typical 5-ounce glass of dry red or white table wine has between 100 to 125 calories, while a dessert wine may have as many as 150 calories per a 3-ounce glass. A 5-ounce glass of dry white table wine may have 1.0 to 1.25 grams of carbohydrates, while a similar portion of red will be around 2.5 grams. The good news; wine is fat free and contains no cholesterol.
Question: What
are sulfites and should I be worried about them?Answer: Sulfite is a term used to describe sulfur dioxide and other sulfur derivatives, which are found in miniscule amounts in wines. Sulfur is added at certain points during the winemaking process to help preserve the wine and keep it free from bacteria. The U.S. government requires wine labels to include "Contains Sulfites" to alert those who are allergic to sulfites (approximately 1% of the population).
Question: What
is a kosher wine?Answer: A wine is considered kosher if it is made using strict rabbinical production techniques and cannot include any chemical additives, gelatin, lactose, glycerin, corn products or non wine yeasts. In addition, Sabbath-observing Jews must conduct the entire wine making process under rabbinical supervision. Kosher wines are produced by wineries from around the world including: Weinstock, Gan Eden, Baron Herzog and Korbel (for its sparkling kosher wine), and Yarden.
