Do you serve wine with dinner?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
An AJC article about recipes that go well with local wines by wine writer Gil Kulers made me wonder how many of us make a glass of wine a part of our home dinner ritual. Some of us save the indulgence of a glass or two of wine for nights out on the town. But a lot of people I know routinely have a glass of wine with dinner, especially since recent health studies have shown the benefits of moderate amounts of red wine in a daily diet.

I think serving a little wine with a nice roast dinner or Italian dish adds to the dining experience. On the other hand, if I am serving quesadillas or chicken nuggets, the juxtaposition just doesn’t work for me.
I know my husband, who enjoys discovering bargain wines, has found some great under $12 options, and for a dinner at home that’s about our limit.
What about you? Do you routinely include wine with dinner? How much are you willing to spend for an “everyday” wine?
