  D A ILY INNOVATION BRIEF   By Journalists Edward  Kane & Marya nne Kane  HOW TO GET THE PERFECT BOTTLE OF WINE                                                       Source:  Stock Scientific studies can help in choosing from a wide array of expensive wine choices. This is wine news you can use.  Here are the scientific results: Buy white wine in dark bottles; it tastes better because the light doesn't get in and degrade the flavor White and rose wines in clear bottles may leave the wine tasting like a wet dog or boiled cabbage because of sunlight changing the wine's chemistry Corked wine tastes better than screw top Use a tulip glass to get the most out of the wine's aroma Aerate the wine; wine reacts with oxygen which helps the natural flavor develop This is a great example of science enhancing and enriching our lives - bottoms up!
