Hi,
Recently one of our neighbors kindly gave us a bottle of wine as a gift. My wife and I are not big drinkers, and even then it's pretty much limited to the occasional beer. We know nothing about wine but are willing to learn. Sure, we could just guzzle it all down in Ikea tumblers but we want to do it right.
My questions are:
1. How do I store the wine? Is the refrigerator okay? Or is that bad?
2. It's red wine, what sort of foods should it be consumed with? Is it best enjoyed by itself?
3. Are there any decent websites for inexperienced wine drinkers to learn more about wine basics?
Thanks in advance...
