Wine CPR - Give it some AIR!Let the wine breathe! Give the wine some air! Give the wine some room! Get the wine a glass of water!...

What the flip are they talking about? The term "Letting the wine breathe" may conjure humorous images of bottles gasping for air, but it is a serious concept in the total enjoyment and experience of wine. I used to be a "crack it and drink it" kind of guy... so does letting wine breathe make a difference? A silly thought when your early wine experiences were Boones Farm and Mad Dog. Taste Buds mature and so did I.

A Thoughtful RogueDoes size matter? Hmmm? The traditioanal wine bottle is 750 ml (milileters) or 3/4 of a liter, this is about the same size as two bottles of beer. Don't worry though, the alcohol content in one bottle of wine is about the same as a six pack of beer. Wine bottles, however, come in many different sizes, and all of them serve a purpose.
