I’m on to Shiraz these days. Things I’m gonna have to do for my heart. 
But does it have lots of calories? I never thought wine or whiskey would have calories but recently one of my fat friends went on to diet and that meant two weeks off the booze. And the fatwa he irshaad farmaya’d that it has lots of calories. Am I getting fat 'cause of this? I need to lose about 7-8 lbs but somehow I’ve not been able to do that for past many months. It’s the wine, isn’t it? 
Re: Red wine
7-8lbs..hahahhh..do you live in a funhouse with the funky mirrors.. 
If you are polishing off a bottle of red wine in one sitting then you have bigger issues than calories. On the otherhand, a glass of red wine a day is good for your heart, fk the calories.
Re: Red wine
Id hate to disillusion you fine gentlemen, you dont HAVE to drink red wine to do your hearts a favour, you can get the same benefits from red grape juice.
Romanian................ Im you are not getting fat because you drink wine and whisky(the alcohol will preserve your body like it did the Queen mothers, bless her) Although they do contain high calories.
You are getting fat because you are eating too much, not exersizing enough, and erm your age..... i mean, youre almost 50 .............. you cant expect to slim and lean like the youngsters
can you?

^ Laisy Daisy, but food doesn’t taste as good. Wine enhances the flavor of food. You should know that …

Re: Red wine
Matsui, Unlike your sorry fat ass, some of us have perfecting goals, you idiot. 
Ms daisy vaisay, I wanna know more about the blush tomatoes.
Re: Red wine
Lofty Goals ROman, I am not sure if surgery isn't the only resort left for your drive towards perfection...
Re: Red wine
Roman, I have two words for you... AL ROKER
Re: Red wine
sun blush tomatoes
cut sun ripened tomatoes into 6 wedges (sun ripend cos they have more flavour)
sprinkle with salt and dried basil and oregano
put in a very low oven...just barely warm, (gas mark 1)overnight or aleast 5 to 6 hours
in the morning they will be slightly chewy in texture and not very hard, store in jar...cover with good quality extra virgin olive oil and a couple of cloves of garlic.
alternatively buy from local italian delicateson.
Re: Red wine
Ms daisy vaisay, we don't live on the same side of the sun, do we? That's not what I imagined when I heard the word blush tomatoes. :(

Re: Red wine
a glass of wine has the calories the same amount of grape juice had before fermenting (ok a weeee bit less), but most of them are now alcohol calories/empty calories, and are messier than sugar calories. abay you need to take a trip down here.. decent wine country not too far.
Re: Red wine
Good news Roman…no one is fruitier than you are. :k:
