STORING UNFINISHED BOTTLES

[Peter Hirdt]

&lt;&lt; Dick Peterson suggests: "When you want to drink the remainder, just remove the bottle, pour yourself a glass AND SET THE GLASS IN A MICROWAVE OVEN. Give it only 20 seconds for a 2/3 full glass. Trial and error will allow you to find out the proper settings to use for your microwave. Some will need only 15 seconds, some, maybe, 30." &gt;&gt;<p>While I can vouch for the refrigerator-to-microwave method, the timings here sounds way too long to me.<p>I usually nuke a single pour (about 3 oz.) of white wine for seven seconds, red for 10 to 12 seconds (give or take a bit, depending on the body of the wine, and the desired temperature).<p>Maybe we differ here on account of different pour sizes. Regardless, I can't imagine a wine would be good for anything but cooking after a half-minute on full power. (You are recommending full power, correct?)<p>Peter<p>[This message has been edited by Peter Hirdt (edited 01-10-99).]
