TRUTH !!
if, in the cooking process, wine is reduced to "dry" (no liquid remains, just a syrupy glaze), the alcohol is evaporated.
the alcohol, having a lower boiling point than the liquid, evaporates before all the liquid is gone.
if the wine is still liquid, however, some alcohol remains.
 
Well I don't know whether to be embarrassed at not getting a repeat question right...or chagrined to not have realized. LOL.
 
C'mon ! Don't feel either of those things; after all, think of how many of my trivia q's you've seen since I started this (My Lord, when WAS that ?);
 
Dunno how many years its been but I know I sure enjoy doing the trivia of the day around here.
 
Oh man am I out of practice (mainly because I haven't seen this for ages! - at least that is my excuse).
Only got 1,5,7 and truth! Should have gotten 3,4,6 & 8.
