No, I don't like wine. Red wine always gave me a headache. I'm not a drinker, I used to enjoy a small beer with pizza or sausage and a daquiri once in a while for a social drink or a vodka gimlet. I haven't had an alcoholic drink in 6 years .

Yeah, a bit. I can ALWAYS tell red wine from white wine just by looking at it. Even rosé very rarely fools me!

Ass_E9: why, of course. I even have a wine named after me.

Not by a long shot. However, I do enjoy wine, and wine tastings/pairings. Before lock-down, some friends and I were attending monthly wine seminars. Ass_E9, I think that photo of Donald Pleasence holding a glass of wine is from one of my favorite episodes of Columbo.I'll have to check out Zolo wines.  |

Yes.
Point of fact whenever we would be fine dining, I was always given the wine book and I would pair up the wines for our guests.

Not at all. I do like a cold Pinot once in a while. Room temperature red tastes off to me.

A lot of people like red wines to be cooled. I heard an interview with a gentleman who said that the "room temperature red" rule goes back centuries, when frequent wine drinking was pretty much the privilege of the very well-to-do. That time also pre-dates central heating. And, some of those chateaux, villas and castles could get pretty cold, and room temperature was different from today.
I can't say how accurate that is, but it makes sense.

Oh yes, i love wine and indulge in it far too much. I don't really have a favourite and i haven't really found one i don't like. I prefer red but will happily drink white or rose. Having said that i'm not keen on sweet or desert wines. Most of my film watching is done while sipping a deep red so i tend to get through quite a bit  |

I would also say the same for beer. It is a running joke here that the Brit drink 'warm' beer and Aussies only drink it really cold out of the fridge or chilled keg. Here there are many light reds that we serve chilled as we do rose and whites, and we always search for cool places to store our more full bodied reds. I think we, as a rule drink them too warm.

Your reds should be served between 45F-65F Degrees. Merlot will give you more of a temperature margin as that grape can be grown in a warmer climate. Never serve full bodied reds at a cold temperature, 35-40 F, as it affects the flavors. Always let your red wines breathe or oxidize a bit.
