Varietal and Vintage Not all varietals create age-worthy wines. In general, whites aren't as age-worthy as reds. White's don't have as much tannin, the stuff that tends to preserve wines and lessens with time, as reds do. Sure, there are some whites that are age-worthy -- Chablis, some white Burgundies, Sauternes, some California Chardonnays -- but generally speaking, whites are ready upon release, and those that do benefit from aging needn't age long. Reds, particularly the big, tannic ones or ones high in alcohol, often benefit from aging. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the two varietals mostly closely associated with Bordeaux, often age well. In fact, some grand cru Bordeaux must be laid down for years before they are ready to drink. The Nebiolo grape in Italy is known for making heavy, tannic, gum-drying, mouth-assaulting wines that must be laid down for years before they are approachable. Vintage also matters. Some years produce age-worthy wines; others don't. Wine Spectator publishes vintage charts so you can tell which wines to consume and which ones to lay down.
The majority of wines do not improve with age. Most wines are made to be drank immediately or within a few years of bottling.
well...I dont know if Lady GaGa EATS wines lol.But she does drink wine.She does drink but its no crime.
Your local wine store should have a selection of nice wines you can use for a business gift. You can also try wine.woot.com for a daily deal on quality wines.
No. Wine is better aged because it enhances it's flavor. But unaged wine is fine too. Also: No. Generally wines are held off the market until they are ready to drink. Most people do not purchase wines to store in a wine cellar. An improperly stored bottle of wine can turn to vinegar.
All wines are meant to be enjoyed with some food, but if you have to drink it by itself, pinot noir and cabernet are some of them.
Basically anything you can drink. Water, wines, etc.
The wine is chilled to drink right from the cooler,just open and pour.
A specific drink for Skiathos doesn't exist. As in other zones of Greece the most common strong drinks are ouzo and tsipouro. Beer and wines are also loved; note that Skiathos has a small production of local wines.
If you don't, wines might be frozen. Or just not cool enough when you drink them.
It's an acquired taste, since some people prefer sweet wines and others prefer dry wines. Also, since they have alcohol in them wines give one a buzz upon consumption, similar to the kind you get from beer since they both contain sugar.

Dessert wines can be aged, but they don't need to be. Make sure they are chilled before you drink them.
