Their berries vary in shape and size, too. In fact, the group of intensely fragrant table and wine grapes known collectively as muscat defy traditional botanical classification. This ancient grape has been known and cultivated for millennia, initially flourishing around the edges of the hot Mediterranean. As a result hundreds of varieties of muscat have evolved or been bred, through natural and deliberate hybridization, and modern propagation for different climates and characteristics....

Craving a rich, smooth, sweet wine to sip leisurely while you enjoy some dark chocolate or cheese? Looking for a new aperitif? Consider port. It’s a versatile, sweet wine from Portugal that’s fortified—meaning, a little neutral distilled grape spirit (essentially, brandy) has been added to the wine during fermentation. This fortification process has two main effects on the finished wine: Port is a bit stronger than table wine (containing 18-22 percent alcohol by volume, where most table wines top out around 15 percent), and it’s also sweeter....

The heart of every Thanksgiving feast usually features a beautiful roast turkey, a decadent plate of stuffing, and an irresistible bowl of gravy, but none of these dishes would shine half as bright without the fresh herbs that give each its memorable flavor profile. Whether you like to prepare a turkey rubbed with thyme and parsley or mashed potatoes mixed with chives, there are a few herbs that give your meal the familiar aromas of a good Thanksgiving dinner....

There’s an abundance to this time of year that can’t go unnoticed, whether it’s in the farmers’ market bounty or the extra time in a day.

Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is a kitchen staple, and there isn’t a day that goes by that we’re not cooking with it, using it to make salad dressing, or drizzling it over avocado toast. If you’ve got your eye on (or already own!) a cruet that you use to store and serve olive oil from, there are a few things you should know. First, the three things that degrade olive oil and make it lose its freshness and antioxidants are light, heat, and air....

After a year-long journey in space, a dozen bottles of French Bordeaux wine and hundreds of grapevine snippets returned to Earth in the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday, January 12. The wine, grapevines, and thousands of pounds of other gear were sent to space in SpaceX’s Dragon Capsule in March 2020. Each bottle was nestled inside a steel cylinder to prevent breakage and remained corked while aboard the orbiting lab. The goal of the mission was for France’s top wine connoisseurs and experts to taste the difference between grounded wine and those bottles that were sent to space....

While there are many different succulents to consider, including everything from entirely pink-hued iterations to those with just a subtle ombré of color along their edges, it’s important to ensure you’re choosing the one that’s best-suited to your unique space. Without the right sunlight conditions, these succulents can lose their coloring. The same could happen if they’re overwatered....

A new study from Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary, used two dogs that are popular on social media— Whisky, a Border Collie from Norway, and Vicky Nina, a Yorkshire terrier from Brazil—to determine how quickly gifted dogs may learn new words. “To test this, we exposed Whisky and Vicky Nina to the new words in two different conditions, during an exclusion-based task and in a social playful context with their owners....
