On windy days, wine experts recommend serving red wines over white wines. The reason behind this advice is that the wind can enhance the perception of tannins in red wines, making them taste smoother and more balanced. Tannins are compounds found in grape skins, seeds, and stems, and they can contribute to the structure and mouthfeel of a wine. So, if you find yourself enjoying a glass of red wine on a breezy day, you might notice its flavors and textures in a more nuanced way!

Snow is coming, better stock up the essentials :)

A fun fact about alcohol and snow is that when you mix certain types of alcohol with snow, you can create a delicious frozen treat known as "snow cocktails" or "snow ice cream." People in snowy regions have been known to mix ingredients like sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and various spirits with freshly fallen snow to make a frosty and flavorful dessert. However, it's important to note that consuming snow should be done with caution, as it should be clean and free from contaminants to ensure safety. Always use your discretion and be aware of the source of the snow before trying to make a snow-based treat
