Many wines were intended to be served chilled. Wines have a unique and delicate chemistry, and the flavor of a wine will vary greatly depending on temperature. Some wines are sweet when chilled but bitter when warm, and other wines need to be stored at a cool temperature for long periods of time in order to ferment properly. Champagne in particular needs to be cooled before serving, hence the tradition of ice buckets for champagne. A wine chiller is thus an excellent addition to the home of any wine enthusiast. It will ensure that the wine will be the exact temperature it needs to be during serving. Wine chillers can be built into or installed in most homes.
PVC pipe is an acceptable product to use in chillers that contain glycol. You should never use galvinized pipe where glycol is used. Copper is acceptable as well.
A good Port is excellent in place of Sherry. Alcohol will loose it's clout leaving the flavor behind and makes excellent gravies. You could even use a good red wine if you wanted too.
Any red wine can be substituted for Burgundy when creating a sauce or making a casserole such a Coq au Vin. Cheap Roses are excellent for adding a fruity panache to such dishes and easy on the budget.
Strain you wine with a cheese cloth. Use a funnel and pour slowly. A coffee filter put in a funnel works but takes longer.
Turn it into wine! Added: The only (safe home) way is to dissolve HFCS on warm water, and drying the berries again after being seaved off. The other way is rather complicated (osmosis) for home use. Yes, but wine tastes better!!
For making mulled wine, it is best to use a dry red wine such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, or Zinfandel.
