I’m thinking about getting a wine rack for my basement or a wine cooler. However, is it bad to chill wine for long periods of time if you don’t plan on opening it anytime soon? Or does it not matter either way?

I want to start drinking a glass of wine a day and my favorite wine is Pinot Noir. So, what is a good way to store it after it’s opened? I know your not supposed to put red wine in the fridge and honestly cold pinot doesn’t sound appealing. I figure if I drink a generous sized glass every day then it would take me three to four days to finish a bottle. Would the wine be bad by the fourth day?

Im not in Budapest and i see so many different types of wine in supermarkets. Wines from France, California, Hungarian, etc and all at different prices.

If I need a good quality smooth red wine at a reasonable price how do i pick that?

I have a date at a wine and cheese restaurant this week. I live in Florida and the place is outside. It’s not cold at all yet, but I was wondering what type of wine is appropriate for the season so that I can look classy and educated.

Additional info: I don’t like super dry wines or tart wines.
I will probably get a salad with grilled chicken in addition to a cheeseboard that includes 3-4 cheeses, bread and fruit.

I read from a book that Chianti wine is good for lighter dishes. I just want to know any good wine for desserts.

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.

I have just started to collect wines. Rather buy expensive wine on sale. I kon’t know anything about wine, it just started calling to me. I don’t think I have had a glass of wine in 3 months. I do not have a wine cellar or wine rack. Should wine stand up or lay down during storage? What temperture? Should I keep it in the refridgerator? I love looking at the bottles. Have I become weird?

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!
