Selecting wine for meals

The following table will show at a glance with what foods the various wines are served. Wine should be served 'at the temperature of the room,' should not be put in the fender, but stood up, with the cork out, in the dining-room some time before dinner. If there be a fire the bottle (or the decanter if the wine be already
decanted) may be put on the mantelpiece, but not nearer the heat than that.
