I was a Reisling fan when I was young. Somehow I transitioned to reds along the way. I like Zins a lot, Merlot and a Cab with Italian food when I make it at home or in former times when I went out. Another white I used to drink was Gewurtztraminer. A lot of whites are too dry for my palate. Others are too fruity. My ex and I went in 1984 to West Germany and my aunt and uncle took us to wineries on both the Rhein and the Mosel rivers. If you like whites, it's a good place to go. https://winefolly.com/deep-dive/mosel-valley-wine-guide/ For reds I have never been fortunate to go to areas in France like Burgundy. I have had Italian reds while in Austria. Those were more table wines but much better than America produced at the time. Things like Chianti. Some work colleagues introduced me to Borolos. Argentina and Chile make some good reds (Malbec). Austrailia is known for Shiraz (Syrah). There's is a lot of good wine out these days but the industry has changed. Wines used to require additional aging before they were mature. As I understand it now, at least for American reds, bottles are ready to drink when you purchase them and they don't improve sitting in the bottle over time. I am not an expert though. I do tend to drink wines immediately, if at all (Italian food nights). I tend to prefer IPAs to wine. I can drink a bottle of wine in an evening if not careful so I discipline myself. I will make enough Italian food for two nights and enjoy the wine with both meals. Better for my liver. edited to correct content and spelling

Nah, I'm going hippie!

You do come up with some great ones!

forcebwithu, you are doing a great service to this community with your diligent reporting. You have become quite an expert.

Had Italian food and a couple of glasses of cabernet last night. I prefer a beer. Hard liquor never again. The last time was in Pattaya. Tonight the rest of the wine most likely.

Percolation. Pump the water out later. No evaporation. No increase in reservoir size or depth. I mentioned this before. Or more expensively is desalinization. Both are long term solutions and do nothing for today's problem.

I only drink red wine until I'm out.

Just don't fall off the world when you cross the equator.

Nice father...not.

As a light hearted warmup....

They only work on deloreans! Perhaps you could retrofit your boat?

I would prefer to be under the weather!
