I remember in the news and on the internet there was this cheap $2.00 a bottle wine that won in a Wine tasting contest over the more expensive wines. Some even up to $200.00 a bottle

You’re thinking of Charles Shaw, aka Two Buck Chuck, available at Trader Joe’s. The video link below has the details.

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?

A wine cooler simply keeps the wine at a constant temperature and humidity – I keep the one in my kitchen at around 17 degrees. Wine needs to be kept somewhere humid to prevent the corks drying out and tainting the wine.

With white Wines it doesn’t matter so much if you chill them for a while, but they won’t develop their aged flavours. If you do chill the wine, don’t then take it out of cold storage until you drink it, as some wines will form a white haze – which doesn’t really affect the flavour, but doesn’t look pleasant.

I am not a wine drinker due to allergies. Can you recommend any good dinner wines with a CORK in the bottle? My aunt is a wine drinker. I got her a really fancy cork remover (and some other things) for Christmas. I would like to supplement the present with a nice Wine as well.

Traditionally, both sparkling wines and regular table wines all have cork closures. However, the sparkling wine corks are quite different, with a large bulbous top part sticking out of the top of the bottle with a wire cage over it. This is to hold the cork in since the wine is under a lot of pressure. These are opened without a corkscrew, using your hand instead to gently twist the cork out after removing the wire cage.

For still table wines (not sparkling) most are still closed with corks. There is a movement toward non-cork closures so many wines you’ll find now have screwcaps (which you can tell just by looking at the bottle in the store). Alternatively, some bottles are closed with synthetic corks which are made of plastic. Both the synthetic and traditional real corks are opened with a cork remover (corkscrew, etc.). You can’t always tell which are which just from looking at the bottle until you get the foil capsule off but either one can be opened with a standard cork remover that you got your aunt. So buy anything you think she’ll like that is in your price range but just be sure it does not have a metal screwcap closure on the top.
