Red Wine
While juice from black grapes is actually greenish-white, red wine gets its color from the pigments in the grape skin. As the wine ages, it loses its color. The antioxidants and resveratrol in red wine are also thought to have major health benefits.

What is a good wine when a recipe calls for a sweet red wine?
The obvious choice here is a port wine. True ports come from Portugal and are made from the gamay grape. They are heavy-bodied, sweet and high in alcohol due to fortification (extra alcohol is added during fermentation). Otherwise, sweet red wines are not in great demand for drinking, so you could use a drier, but fruty wine such as a pinot noir or bergamais and add a bit of brandy to up the alcohol and a bit of sugar to up the sweetness.

Chiantis range from $10 to $50 depending on the brand and the sub-region they're from.
How can you tell which wines you should store to age and which you drink immediately?
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.
What is the best yeast for raspberry wine?
Either one of these which can be purchased at http://www.homebrewit.com/aisle/1030 for about fifty cents will work well. * Red Star® Pasteur Champagne (Davis 595), a strain of Saccharomyces bayanus, has been derived from a pure culture slant of the Institut Pasteur in Paris. This strain has been widely used in the U.S. since 1968. It is a strong fermenter with good ethanol tolerance, and will readily ferment grape musts and fruit juices to dryness. This strain also has good tolerance to free sulfur dioxide. This strain is recommended for all white wines, some reds and for fruit juices. Although this yeast is somewhat flocculant, it is not commonly used for sparkling wine. Pasteur Champagne has been recommended, by several sources, for restarting stuck fermentations. Ferments best between 15-30 deg. C, (59-86 deg. F).
* Red Star® Côte des Blancs (Davis 750), a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has been derived from a selection of the Geisenheim Institute in Germany. It is a relatively slow fermenter, identical to Geisenheim Epernay, but producing less foam. This yeast requires nutrient addition for most chardonnay fermentations. Côte des Blancs produces fine, fruity aromas and may be controlled by lowering temperature to finish with some residual sugar. It is recommended for reds, whites, sparkling cuvées and non-grape fruit wines (especially apple).. Ferments best between 17°-30°C (64°-86°F). Sensitive below 13°C (55°F).
I also recommend the following web site for a variety of excellent recipes and wine making instructions relating to fruit based wines.

How much red wine per week will damage your liver?
Since one of the functions of the liver is to filter out toxins, or what the body perceives to be toxins (such as pain relievers like acetaminophen), any amount of white wine could be considered "damaging" to the liver, as it makes the liver work extra hard to rid the body of alcohol. However, there are benefits to drinking wine, as has been reported in the general media for the last 10 years or so. Possibly the key to avoiding "damage" is a generally healthy diet and occasionally giving the liver a chance to "rest" by not drinking any wine for two or more days, or, if wine is a part of one's usual eating habits, make a point of going a week or two without every so often. Not a doctor, just an opinion.

How do you get red wine stains from the bottom of a Ships Decanter?
You might want to consult a professional before doing this if it's an antique; a lot of people erroneously think that cleaning something will make it "worth more" when in fact it often has the exact opposite effect.
Assuming you want to proceed, you might try ethanol... a small amount of the highest proof grain neutral spirits you can buy. Let it sit, and gently swish it around (or, heck, get a bottle brush and scrub if you want, I don't care).

Jesus
A human being's appointed time for receiving an inner vision, of pure white light, with Jesus in the middle prior to seeing Red and prior to the wilderness experience. During the moment of extreme chaos, this inner vision is each person's reminder of the only Name a person may cry to that can save that person from insanity and reconnect that person to God and his perfect order. Seeing Red is the beginning of the soul waking up which produces enlightenment of God's promises.
