A community portal about Wine with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Wine is an alcoholic beverage produced by the fermentation of the juice of fruits, usually grapes. Although a number of other fruits - such as plum, elderberry and blackcurrant - may also be fermented, grapes are naturally chemically balanced to normally ferment completely without requiring extra sugars, acids, enzymes or other nutrients. Non-grape wines are called fruit wine or country wine. Other products made from starch based materials, such as barley wine, rice wine, are more similar to beers. The English word wine and its equivalents in other languages are protected by law in many jurisdictions.

Step away from the cabernet. That's right, just walk away. The last thing you want for Turkey Day are tannins, and cabernet, merlot, Bordeaux reds in general, are the kings of tannins. Without all the wine-speak that nobody understands, here are my wine tips for Thanksgiving dinner.
