VI Wine
How do I calculate the number of wine vs beer drinkers?
I am planning a dinner and dance for about 40 adults. I am estimating that 8 or so will not drink. How do I know how much wine and beer to buy? Even though it is an Italian dinner, I just don’t know how big of a wine drinking crowd it will be.
Estimate that more will not drink like 12 or so. The number of non-drinkers is higher than 8. Get some decent box wine and put on ice and save the remainder for later.

How long is wine in a box good for after it is opened?
I have a box of wine in my fridge, been there opened for probably 4 months. Is it still good?
Yea probably, I’ve had box wine that long before. Poor some in the glass. If it still smells ok it’s probably ok but if it smells sour then it has probably gone bad. You should be fine.

Tim Minchin - White Wine In The Sun (Christmas Song)
‘White Wine In The Sun’, also known as ‘Christmas Song’. I put this up since a lot of people were looking for it. It hasn’t featured on any of Tim’s albums, but it’s his staple live closer.
LYRICS:
I’m looking forward to Christmas
It’s sentimental I know, but I just really like it
I’m, I’m hardly religious
I’d rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu to be honest
And yes I have all of the usual objections to consumerism
The commercialisation of an ancient religion
And the western-isation of a dead Palestinian
Press-ganged into selling PlayStations and beer
But I still really like it.
I, I really like Christmas
Though I’m not expecting a visit from Jesus
I’ll be seeing my dad
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
They’ll be drinking white wine in the sun
I’ll be seeing my dad
My sisters and brother, my gran and my mum
We’ll be drinking white wine in the sun.
I don’t go for ancient wisdom
I don’t believe just ’cause ideas are tenacious it means that they’re worthy
I get freaked out by churches
Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords
But the lyrics are dodgy
And yes I have all of the usual objections to the mis-education of children forced into a cult institution
And taughted to externalise blame
And to feel ashamed
And to judge things as plain right and wrong
But I quite like the songs.
I’m not expecting big presents
The old combination of socks, jocks and chocolate is just fine by me.
‘Cause I’ll be seeing my dad
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
They’ll be drinking white wine in the sun
I’ll be seeing my dad
My sisters and brothers, my gran and my mum
They’ll be drinking white wine in the sun.
And you my baby girl
My jetlagged infant daughter
You’ll be handed round the room
Like a puppy at a primary school
And you’re too young to know
But you will learn yourself one day
That wherever you are and whatever you face
These are the people who’ll make you feel safe in this world
My sweet blue-eyed girl
And if my baby girl
When you’re twenty-one or thirty-one
And Christmas comes around
And you find yourself nine thousand miles from home
You’ll know whatever comes
Your brother and sister, and me and your mum
Will be waiting for you in the sun
Girl, when Christmas comes
Your brothers and sisters, your aunts and your uncles
Your grandparents, cousins, and me and your mum
Will be drinking white wine in the sun
We’ll be waiting for you in the sun
Baby, whenever you come
We’ll be drinking white wine in the sun
Waiting.
I, I really like Christmas
It’s sentimental I know.

What kind of white wine goes best with fish?
I will give you the extent of my wine knowledge: white wine goes with white meats, red wine goes with red meats.
So I’m going to a friend’s house for dinner tonight and she’s having fish. I want to bring a bottle of wine, what should I get?
I don’t want to spend a whole lot for one bottle of wine, so something that’s not too expensive, but still good. Thanks!
While generally white with fish red with meat still is ok it really depends on how the fish is cooked….heavier sauces require heavier wines .These days some wine makers are making heavier white wines then red so the best thing to do would be find out how the fish is being prepared and then go to your nearest store and they should be able to match it
if in doubt you could just pick up a nice bottle of white and it will be fine Chardonnay or chenin blanc would be fine
