I just bought 2 bottles of Berringer White Merlot wine tonight, so some questions? I'm not an alcoholic. Aside from a couple of wine-coolers back in the mid-90s, I've pretty much stayed away from booze. And even though my wife is now calling me her 'boozer husband' (because this was my first purchase), I would like to get people's honest feedback on this moment. I heard that drinking red wine has a lot of benefits, and since I wanted to test out this theory, I was wondering just how much I should inbibe on any given day which wouldn't get me pasted? Secondly is that I am on blood-thinning medication, and so is taking a tablespoon amount of wine every couple of days going to affect my INR levels much? I'm going to cut back from a full tablespoon to half. This stuff is stronger than I thought it was! lol

How can I learn the basics of wine, quickly and efficiently? I've been a bartender for several years, but never in a high-volume wine environment. I've moved to a new location (Grand Rapids, MI) and - even though I'm an experienced bartender - I'm finding myself at a disadvantage finding a job tending bar because I know little beyond the basics (chardonnay is white, merlot is red, etc.). Can you recommend a book or website that will get me up to speed on the current, popular wines and the differences between them - and quickly? I'm looking for essential general information and food-pairing tips - necessary information for a wine-rich restaurant. I'm also looking to do this without spending a ton of $$$, so preferably popular books I can find at the library or on half.com for a reasonable price. Also, I've attended many wine tastings, but I don't have a palate advanced enough to identify individual flavors and aromas; I just know what I like. I've also read 'Wine for Dummies,' but am looking for something just a big more advanced than that.
