These are things you probably should know:

For Instance, the term “CORKED” does not really mean that small pieces of cork had got into your glass of wine. It actually refers to a chemical reaction between the cork and the wine that can spoil the flavor of the wine.

A tip from the Experts:

  • Serving wine at “room temperature” is often misunderstood.

  • For red wine, you should serve the wine at around 65°F, and NOT 80°F.

  • And How many Calories are in a glass of Red Wine?

Well, that depends on the brand and type of red wine, but about an average  of 125 calories per (5) ounces of wine usually.

When you are shopping for a good wine club, you also need to remember that the pricing can vary as the quality of the wine provided. Such as: Organic wines usually attract a premium rate, and it’s not unusual to see organic wine to go over $25 per bottle.

Full cases can represent excellent value, but you’ll most likely pay $15 or more per bottle. Fortunately, the choice is yours. And with a subscription to wine clubs, it’s usually possible you can skip a month in the unlikely event that nothing they’re offering appeals to you.
