Wine Trivia :
Wine as disinfectant or stain remover.
Mark Daeschel, A microbiologist at Oregon State University in
Corvallis, Oregon discovered that white wine is an excellent remover of
red stains and cleaner of kitchen countertops. According to Daeschel,
white wine acts as a disinfectant and kills salmonella, a common
food-borne bacterium, within a few seconds. So, next time you have a
left-over wine, do not throw it straight it into trash but to the
kitchen instead.
