Rollersnake posted:Jesus Christ. Having the sudden revelation that maybe the reason I don't like wine is because it's spoiled. I thought it just kept forever unrefrigerated, like most liquor. It'll be fine for a long time as long as it's unopened, but once oxygen starts getting in there it doesn't have long to live. Vacuum sealing and chilling prolong this process.

This is not meant as an insult, but how do you not know to refrigerate white wine? It’s not like it’s a secret the elite wine hoarders don’t want you to know

It's easy to not know about refrigerating wine, when nobody ever brings it up, and even media doesn't talk about it.

I think my dad always left his wine unrefrigerated, but also my dad is gross and legitimately can't tell if food is freezer burned or not. I guess I just assumed that was normal and not another one of his gross habits. You don't refrigerate liquor, and wine has a higher alcohol content than beer, so it made sense that you were supposed to treat it the same way. I've cooked with sherry that has been open and left unrefrigerated in a cabinet for weeks/months, and never noticed anything wrong. This is seriously blowing my mind.

I mean yeah but... just living with food and drinks in general, doesn’t everyone check what is and isn’t safe to keep unrefridgerated? Edit: I guess not. Please don’t die from botulism friends

Well, when other bottled liquids (sauces/marinades in particular) have to be refrigerated after being opened, the bottle will have that printed on it. So if there's nothing there, people will assume it doesn't matter, especially since many other resealable bottled drinks don't need refrigeration.

I guess it follows that wine cellars exclusively contain unopened bottles of wine then. I'm serious, I legitimately had no idea, and never cared enough about wine (because spoiled wine that I didn't know was spoiled is disgusting) to have the opportunity to realize anything was wrong. Edit: Also my wife who I've lived with for ten years doesn't drink, and I've never seen her parents drink wine, so it's not like she'd know either.

Dude you would be SHOCKED the poo poo people don't know. My wife is a member of a Facebook breastfeeding group, and someone shared their story that they were told to eat oatmeal twice a day by their lactation consultant. A year later, she saw her again and weighted an extra 100 pounds. This woman had been eating a bowl of oatmeal cookies twice a day for a year. SHE DID NOT KNOW THAT OATMEAL WAS A THING OUTSIDE COOKIES.

But like, how do you not notice the wine has gone bad? Like you open it and it tastes nice then you go back to it a week or two later and it tastes gross, and something doesn't go click?

Not quite the same as the wine issues, but some years ago my sister and I were making a vodka cream sauce for dinner and dug through our parents liquor cabinet for a bottle of vodka and it had a Wisconsin liquor board seal on it. My parents hadn't lived in or near Wisconsin for well over 20 years at that point. When we tried to remove the cork, it disintegrated and fell into the bottle  We had our parents pick up a new bottle for us to finish cooking My parents also dumped a ton of old, vinegary wine on my sister when she was in gradschool since grad students will drink anything The Glumslinger has a new favorite as of 05:46 on Nov 22, 2018 |

Dixville posted:Seriously though ginger candies are amazing to help with nausea and I think they are tasty. I get the Gin Gins brand hard candies. They are pretty spicy though, kinda like ginger beer. I remember the first time I tried one, I thought it was way too intense but after I knew what to expect it grew on me. Candied ginger got me through my ulcer. I got so well known for it, one family member STILL sends me GinGins every year for Christmas. (The Hot Coffee ones taste AMAZING)

I've been tasked with coming up with the weekly omelet specials at work lately, and my latest idea was a "muffuletta" --- stuffed with chopped deli meats and cheeses, and topped with my olive/giardiniera tapenade which was the tiiiiits. I had a hard time not stuffing my face with the olive salad every time I made one. SO would. SO WOULD. In fact, why can't I?

Most of the "wave a sealed bottle of vermouth over the shaker" martini stuff comes from Winston Churchill, and hipsters who think he was a cool dude to be emulated, and not the aggressive drunkard who couldn't govern an empty room if he wasn't three sheets to the wind within 15 minutes of awakening like he actually was.

Stairs posted:Lol @ you booze snobs. I drank Thunderbird once, just out of curiosity. It was...very much like drinking pale yellow kerosene. I mean, I didn't really know what that tasted like until I drank Thunderbird. It was unpleasant af. As a teen I did the Boone's Farm, the Mad Dog 20/20, Zimas, etc. Thunderbird wasn't the worst of the lot, though. I straight poured a bottle of blue raspberry Mad Dog down the drain because that stuff tasted like pure sugar poison. Anyway, I've never had a proper martini and since I love olives, I think I'd like to drink a dirty one sometime.

It was unpleasant af. I could never handle Thunderbird, or MD2020. My go to "wine before you're old enough" was Boones Farm stuff that was so prevalent in the late 70s. Kool-aide with alcohol. I think the contemporary equivalent is probably Arbor Mist. Speaking of kerosene, I once "tried" an IPA (purportedly) from a local craft brew place that tasted exactly the same way lacquer thinner smells. Yeah, we never stepped within 100 yards of that place again.

But that wasn't any fancy rich folk wine Most wine isn't actually intended to age like that and shouldn't be kept around for more than a couple years. It's a popular myth that all wine is better with age. Only some wines, and only if stored properly. Similar thing with whiskeys. They won't go bad (as long as you keep them in the dark and steady temperature) but once they're out of the barrel and in the bottle they don't age anymore.
