What type of dry white wine do you use to cook with? Where do you find it in the store?

admin — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 16:12:07 +0000

I’m going way overboard with Martha Stewart’ goose recipe. It call for 1/2 cup of dry white wine for gravy. I’ve never cooked with wine before and I know there’s somebody that knows how. Please help, It’s my first Thanksgiving without my mom and my sisters fiance. I want to do it right. I’ve never cooked for her before. Many thanks!

Chardonnay
Sauvignon Blanc
Pinot Grigio (Pinot Gris)
(among others)

DON’t use Reisling … that’s sweet! Dry means NOT sweet.

Don’t use vermouth, either. It’s useful for cooking but if a recipe specifically says “dry white wine” it won’t taste right if you use something different.

Where to find it? Depends. Does your grocery store sell wine? Some do, some don’t. If yours doesn’t, go to a liquor store.

Also, don’t use that nasty stuff called “cooking wine” … it’s just salty acid. Don’t cook with it if you wouldn’t drink it.

How long will my bottle of white wine last?

admin — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 19:01:07 +0000

I opened a bottle of white wine on Tuesday 9th December. I put it straight back into the fridge afterwards and haven't touched it since. It has a screw cap and not a cork. There is still almost half the bottle left and I just wondered if it would still be ok to drink it? Thanks for your answers in advance.

Red and white wines behave differently. A red actually continues to age after it's bottled, which is why some bottles of red are at their best in a year (or two or ten) after bottling. There are still some active yeasts in bottled reds, which contribute to "maturing".

Whites, on the other hand, are cask- or barrel-aged, and THEN bottled. They don't change significantly after bottling (unless they're subject to high heat, or something that could alter the flavor). Your bottle of white should technically last forever, since it's in a closed container and refrigerated. Since it has a screw-on cap, not a cork, it can't take on flavors or odors from your fridge (like onion or tuna or whatever).

But if for some reason you still don't feel comfortable drinking it after a few weeks, you can still use it in cooking.

How to get red wine stains out of furniture?

admin — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 19:00:57 +0000

I spilt red wine ove my new sofas. When I first got them I pre treated them which does look like it helped a lot. but theres still some tint there. HELP!
I have no clue about the fiber content. Its just a basic cloth.

The best way to get red wine out of a new sofas is to rinse with warm water and then blot clean with alcohol. For tough stains, pretreat with a commercial spot remover and then rinse. I hope this was some help. This is a great website for stain removal. http://www.savetimeandmoneyathome.com
If you test this in a non-visible area first, it won't matter what the fiber content is. I do know that if it is in clothes you can soak it with white wine and then rinse with cool water and then launder with an enzyme detergent like era.

How many you suffer with violent nightmares after drinking red wine?

admin — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 16:12:20 +0000

After having really bad nightmares about four times,I began to look for the reason. The only thing I had done different was drink red wine and only about two glasses because I really don't like the taste, I was being polite to my host at the time. Is there anyone else out there who has this type of problem?

no. I've had cateplexy though, thats scary!!
