You won’t find claret wine in the store, but you’ve probably already had some

A corrupted name with a cool history

Red wine being poured into a glass

Perhaps you’re into period English movies (like, say, anything by Jane Austen). If so, you’ve noticed that when it’s time to break out the good stuff (you know, the bottle from the cellar that needs to be decanted), it’s always a wine called "claret." While I do enjoy the occasional Jane Austen movie, I’ve been a more consistent fan of wine -- but for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out what this claret stuff was, why it was so beloved, and where I could get my hands on it. The short answer is that "claret" is basically British slang for red wines from Bordeaux. The long answer involves ancient Romans, Eleanor of Aquitaine, English corruption of the French language, the Hundred Years’ War, and a dry, brick-red rosé that might not yet be on your radar.

The Romans, great champions of the grape themselves, did bring viticulture to the Bordeaux region -- though, to be honest, they were much more interested in the trading potential of the huge natural harbor located in the Gironde River estuary. Once the empire collapsed, so did those trade routes from the Mediterranean to northern Europe. Ultimately, Bordeaux (along with the rest of southwest France) became part of the large, powerful, and independent duchy of Aquitaine. And this is where our claret wine story begins.

Latte vs. cortado: The espresso showdown you didn’t know you needed

A detailed comparison of these two espresso beverages

latte

To a non-coffee drinker, every drink on a coffee shop menu can be redundant. After all, most café-style drinks combine espresso shots and steamed milk. Yet, the subtle differences in the preparation of every drink and the ratio of espresso to steamed milk create an abundance of variations in espresso drinks. This concept applies when comparing a latte and a cortado, two completely different drinks made from the same ingredients.

If you ask me, these drinks are more distinct than they are alike—especially in flavor. While I love both drinks, there are times when I prefer to order one drink over the other. Let's compare the latte vs. cortado to compare intensity, taste, and creaminess to help you decide which to order.

Is decaf coffee acidic? What to know before you make the switch

About the pH levels of decaf coffee

Coffee beans

If you've been blessed with a stomach free of digestive issues, chances are you haven't given much thought to coffee's acidity. Yet, those of us with troublesome digestive systems know that coffee is an acidic drink with a pH level of 4.8 and 5.1, depending on the roast. The acidic nature of coffee can exacerbate various common conditions like IBS and acid reflux. I know this all too well as someone who drinks too much coffee daily.

Since giving up coffee is not an option, many wonder if switching to decaf is a good alternative. But is decaf coffee acidic, too? As it turns out, switching to decaf doesn't help much in lowering acidity. Here's what to know before you switch to drinking decaf.
