DINNER WINE
SPARKLING WINES
The most popular are Champagne and sparkling Burgundy.
Champagne, can be served before dinner, with or without appetizers;
With most dinner entrée; and with dessert. In straw color, pink or red.
Always served chilled.
Sparkling Burgundy is red and a bit dry. Served chilled with red meats and game.
RESPONSIBLE DRINKING
If you have teenagers, or in fact any adult, impress on them
the risks of driving while intoxicated. Statistics demonstrate
many fatal road accidents are caused by drunk drivers.
If you're having a party, provide food with drinks.
Offer non-alcoholic substitutes such as fruit, soft drinks.
2 drinks taken within an hour by a person 100 pounds produces a
075 reading. One drink is equal to about 1.5 oz. of whisky or 2
bottles of beer. The rate of elimination for each hour after
drinking has stopped is 015. A 200 pound person, after 1 drink
produces a reading of .019, so you can see there is a big difference
due to weight.
As a host it is your duty to make sure no one leaves your party
impaired. Have some one drive them home
