Wine Trivia:

Q: True or False
A white wine can be made from red grapes?

A:True
White wines are often made from red grapes. How? The red color comes from the skins, so when winemakers produce a white wine  from red grapes, they remove the skins quickly after crushing. 

Wine Humor
Clues that a restaurant doesn't specialize in wine.

1. The wine glasses are plastic.

2. Half bottles featured on the wine list have jagged edges.

3. Wine list features
(1) Red
(2) White
(3) Rose
and asks you to order by number.

4. You can take home what's left in the box.

5. White wines are pre-chilled with ice cubes.

6. Wines are dispensed by a vending machine.

7. After opening wine, waiter sniffs the bottle and says it's OK.
