Does wine that comes with a CORK have to be a sparkling wine or can it be a "regular" wine as well?

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:17:10 +0000

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.

What is a cheap and decent tasting wine to serve at a wedding?

admin — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 16:34:01 +0000

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 am simply amazed that almost all of the answerers until me wrote answers that seem to suggest that they are and you are assumed to be American!!! Like so many other questions. Don’t they know that the English version of Answers is reachable and read by all the computers in the English speaking countries listed below, most of which have their own dollar as unit of currency, and many computers in the other coutries as well? Their attitude really bothers me.

Anyway, to answer your question, I assume because you say you will have it with cheese you are looking for a red wine. Certainly if you are going to serve it in carafe buy boxed varietal or varietal blend wine, and save. Some of them are very good, especially many from Australia and South Africa (a few "jugs" from California, too) and they are getting better all the time because the world has a wine glut at present. Most better off-licenses in the U.K., Australia,, S.A. and the USA will have good selections, and many of Canada’s provincial monopolies as well (though more expensive there). But stay away from the new tetra packs. Every one I have tasted was just awful. Also, if you choose a Californian wine be careful about the alcohol – for some reason Californians are making more wine with higher alcohol that hits you like a hammer.

And for your future dinners don’t assume a $50 bottle is always going to be better than a $ 10 bottle. It’s not so.
