Not sure how to read this; whether you mean you don't know the dirty details
or much at all - but the big difference between glasses of red or white;

White wine is usually best chilled. Chilled or cold red wine tastes foul
(alcoholic grape juice, ick) - try to serve at room temperature for reds.

Went to the states last summer and stayed with some friends... they took a
bottle of Blossom Hill Merlot and plunged it into the fridge for two hours
before dinner.... Those were the hardest smiles I've ever had to make...

Best of luck - and let us know how you get on. Will be great to hear from
ye.
