New wine drinker with a question

[Innkeeper]

Hi Izzy, and welcome to the Wine Board. Try to find a half bottle you woundn't mind drinking, and save it after you drink it. Then when you open a full bottle, pour or funnel half of it into the half bottle and put the cork you just pulled it it, or use another stopper. I use a half bottle with a crewcap (duh!).

You might also try to get your wife started with a White Zin or something of that ilk. If she goes for it, move her up gradually. If she doesn't, try some other ilk.
