My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.
What stuff do you think is common?

I thinkit is a Brown Brothers Cienna - a 'light red wine' which is intended to be chilled. If you want to tut, do so at the fact it is 5% alcohol (assuming I have picked the label correctly)

You probably should briefly chill your red wine.Its taste would be improved by reducing the temp by a few degrees. Red wine is best enjoyed at around 18 degrees celsius which was considered room temperature when the 'rule' was set.
Due to central heating and double glazing, most people live in a psuedo-tropical environment pushing 25 degrees. Therefore what we think of as room temperature now is slightly too warm to enjoy some of your favourite plonk at its best.
