The Serious Eats Guide to Bourbon. After wading in barrels of the Scotch and Irish drams, it's time to turn our attention homeward, to that quintessential American spirit: good old bourbon whiskey. We'll look today at what makes bourbon unique, how it's made, and how it came to be. What Is Bourbon? In brief, bourbon is a whiskey, made predominantly from corn and aged in charred oak barrels. But if you've been reading this column for a while, you know that I'll probably hit you with a formal, legal definition of bourbon that complicates things. Indeed, here it is.

Sulfites in Wine: The Myths, the Facts, and the Truth | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn. “Contains Sulfites.” Just two little words — yet so frequently misunderstood! Words you see on almost every bottle of wine. What are sulfites? Are they really bad? The term ‘sulfites’ is an inclusive term for sulfur dioxide (SO2).
