How do you cook pasta in wine?

I heard that you can cook pasta in wine(instead of water) and I thought it sounded tasty... I was wondering if anyone here has made it that way and if so how and what type of wine do you use?|||I might use wine to finish a pasta after it is mostly cooked and as part of the sauce. However..... I hate the thought of wasting 4 bottles of good wine on boiling pasta (or eating pasta that was cooked in lousy cheap wine).





And, if I did undertake this adventure, I would use a light white wine. Red wine might make the plain pasta look an unappetizing blah pink color.|||I've never done or heard of it. If I were to do this though, I'd use a dry red, anything else may make the end product too sweet. Use wine you would sit and drink also, thats a cooks rule actually, "If you won't drink it, don't put it in your food" or something like that. Since you may need a few bottles to cook the pasta, try using half or less of wine and water.|||lol dont cook it with the actual drinking wine! its cooking wine the one u use lol

What is the best white wine to use as a sauce for stuffed mushroom ravioli?

I have never tasted any white wine before; I just need a good white wine that mixes well with mushrooms. Thanks yall!|||I would suggest either a Gewrtraminer (Fetzer makes an inexpensive one) or Pinot Grigio. Both would work well!|||Well, if you want something sweet, get a Reisling. I personally prefer Gewurtzaminer (sp?), which is a bit less over the top...|||I use white zinfandel for all my recipes whether it be chicken, shrimp or whatever.

How often do you have to drink red wine for it to make a healthy impact on your lifestyle? Is there a limit?

I heard red wine has positive health effects when drunk in moderation - it contains antioxidants and resveraterol. But how much is 'drinking in moderation'?


What is the recommended intake of red wine for it to have a positive impact on health?


Any weblinks to sites on red wine would be appreciated...|||1-2 glasses a day for women, 2-3 a day for men.|||dr. oz from oprah can answer this for you!

What riesling wine comes in a short bottle?

I recently did a wine tasting on a Disney Cruise and one of the wines we tasted was a riesling. It came in a short bottle, not the typical tall bottle you see for wine. I can't remember what it was called though. I think it started with an "M". It was really good and I'd like to remember it so I can buy a bottle.|||I'll follow on with what Chef Paul had to say.





The only half-bottles of Rieslings that I've seen are either Eisweins or the higher end sweetnesses (beerenausleses or trockenbeerenausleses).





Was the win that you had very sweet (or even very, very sweet)? If so, there's a good chance that you had one of these.





However, getting back to the "M." There is a winery called Mosella and there is a large "M" on the label. Could this be the one?

If so, then maybe they make a half-bottle that I am unfamiliar with.





Good luck! Rieslings are terrific wines.|||If you were at a wine tasting there's a good chance you tasted a german reisling in a half bottle. Usually the more expensive reislings are available in half bottles. The green bottles are from the Mosel region and the brown bottles are from the Rhine valley. As the price goes up the wine gets sweeter. Kabinet is dry but fruity, Spatlese are a little sweeter and very fruity, Auslese is sweet, beerenauslese is sweeter, and trokenbeerenauslese is the sweetest and like nectar. It would not be unusual to pay $250 for a half bottle of a BA or TBA.


Hope this helped.|||Moscato dAsti is a sparkling sweet wine, similar to Asti Spumante. It's not Reisling.





You know, the bottle could have been simply a single serving bottle, which there are too many to mention... If you could, get on the Disney website and find a contact. Call their Cruise Line office and I'm sure someone could help. If you can't find what you're looking for, here are some great Reislings:





Badger Mountain


Beringer Appelation Collection





Good luck!|||Moscato D'Asti? Its a white wine I think. I thought it was a riesling, but its not. Was it a short blue bottle? If so then this may be it. I love this stuff. You can get it from Sam's Club for sure. I hope this helps.

Why Christians claim that drinking a glass of wine is good for health?

Why Christians claim that drinking a glass of wine is good for health, were are those studies?


Red wine is regarded by Christians as a blood of their God, but clinical studies didn't find any any of those christian health claims !


So do you have a study that says that wine is good for the health of let say people between 20 and 38 years old?|||a glass of red wine a day is good for your health - this is common knowledge and has nothing to do with religion. Clinical studies do show that it is beneficial. Have you done much medical reading? You sound very biased. Are you an angry atheist?|||nice screen name|||why do non-christians claim that drinking a glass of wine is good for health?


same answer.|||Your confusing everything to the point where it's just plain funny.





First thing: CHRISTIANS don't claim that a glass of wine is good for your health. SCIENTISTS, who may or may not be Christian, have researched and come to that conclusion.





Second - Red wine is SYMBOLIC of th blood of Christ. It's not the actual blood of Christ.|||Who says that? The Bible says woe to he who gives his neighbour a drink.|||Moderate consumption of alcohol is good for vascular and cardiac health. It just is. 3-7 drinks / week is more healthy than not doing it.|||f*ck crhistianity and islam.





drinking red wine is healthy though. just not a lot everyday. maybe 3 glasses a week. or 1 glass a day is healthy. same with alcohol.|||Its been proven by scientists that drinking one glass of red wine a day is good for your health.|||Apostle Paul wrote that a little wine is good for the health and body infirmities. But not drinking it all the time to get drunk. Just a little for medicinal purposes.


Drinking to get drunk is against Christian teaching. The Bible says, Be not drunk with wine, but be drunk spiritually by the power of the Holy Spirit.|||Wine is wine, it is symbolic of Christ's blood, the churches I have been part of use grape Koolaid, it's all about symbolism.|||The ancient Judeo-Christians secretly knew about the anti-oxidizing health benefits of resveratrol.|||You must not really want to know the answer to this. Since you keep posting the question, but ignore the links to studies that explain exactly why. I've shown you several myself, which you never acknowledged in the slightest.|||Antioxidants, heart protection, cancer prevention...





What does the age really matter? There are Christians younger and older than that.





Here's a site that gives basic information about the benefits of drinking red wine in moderation:


http://www.red-wine-and-health.com/|||Why Christians claim that drinking a glass of wine is good for health?


* We do not say that.





Why Christians claim that drinking a glass of wine is good for health, were are those studies?


* Your question is based on a false assumption, we do not claim that. Go to doctors or dieticians for points in favor or against a glass of red wine vs physical health.





Red wine is regarded by Christians as a blood of their God, but clinical studies didn't find any any of those christian health claims !


* Wine / fruit of the vine is symbolic, not literally the blood of Christ.





So do you have a study that says that wine is good for the health of let say people between 20 and 38 years old?

However, there are other alternatives to gain the benefits of drinking one glass of wine (or less) per day. The antioxidants in red wine can be obtained from other foods.

What is the shelf life of opened refrigerated wine?

How long does wine last if opened and refrigerated? I use wine for cooking only and store it in the refrigerator. I'm not sure if the bottles I currently have are still good or if they've passed their shelf life, especially being wine.|||Wine, especially if its cooking wine (which has salts added) is good for at least six months to a year after opening if always refrigerated.|||not very long it would only be good for a day or two because the tannins break down causing the wine to become very bitter unless you have a vacuum sealer for the bottle and they only cost 8$ then the wine will bo good for a week or two|||If you're planning on drinking it I would recommend drinking it within a few days, unless you have a vacuum pump wine preserver. The preserver takes all the air out of the bottle, so the wine can't oxidize anymore, oxidization is what makes it "go bad." The longest I've kept "preserved" wine in the fridge is about 2 weeks, but when i opened it again, it tasted the same as it did the day i opened it.





If you're using it for cooking, you can keep it for months.|||To give your wine leftovers the longest life, recork and refrigerate them鈥昬ven reds (they come up to drinking temperature soon after being poured). Most whites hold well for two days; reds for three. After that you can freeze leftover wine in ice-cube trays and use the cubes for cooking.





Below is a list of some things to be aware of when you store your wine.





1) You want to maintain a constant cool temperature. Between 53 - 59 decrees Farenheit. You don't want fluctuations in the temperature.





2) You want fairly high humidity. Humidity levels should be between 70% and 95%.





3) You want to protect your wine from vibration. That's why you need to make sure the wine refrigerator you buy has a vibration dampening system.





4) You don't want to expose your wine to excessive light. Ultraviolet light can be very damaging to wine.





5) You don't want to store your wine in an area that has a lot of odors such as chemicals and paints

What would be a nice wine to pair with a salad?

My brothers and I are hosting a formal dinner for our Mother's 70th birthday. We have several courses planned, with different wines to complement each course. The salad will be served immediately following the main course, and before the cheese course. Merlot will be served with the main course, and Beaujolais will be served with the cheese course. We will be having a light salad with asparagus spears and viniagrette dressing. Another site suggested a dry ros茅. What would be a nice wine to pair with a salad? Any ideas -- suggestions? Thank You!|||How about a nice Riesling? I always pair Riesling with more "delicate" foods such as unsauced veggies and salad. I would try to go with a white wine that isn't too sweet, but that's just me...I'm sure that whatever you choose will be fantastic!|||Here are the links to two of my favorites..

|||As a proffessional bar/restaurant manager i would advise you not to go for Merlot or Beaujolais, if it has to be red then i suggest you go for one lighter type of red like a rioja or a shiraz. Don't opt for different ones throughout the courses, instead just befor your starter arrives have a gin and tonic as this helps build an appitite. When it comes to the cheese course then you could switch to maybe a small glass of Ruby Port. It could be that some of your guests aren't keen on red wine so maybe have a few bottles of white or rose to hand for them, i would suggest a chenin blanc as this caters to most people's taste. Hope all goes well and this has helped.|||Oh I love white zinfandel (beringer) with salad - crisp and a little sweet!|||a light pinot grigio would be delicious. i like Danzante.|||CHAMPAGNE, of course! It's your mum's birthday, so you should be festive and "bubbly"...It will also take you right into the cheese course as well as dessert.
