Relatively speaking and for an open-access (OA) journal that publishes social science research and adheres to the traditional peer review system, that fee seems reasonable to me. But, other reputable OA publishers charge much steeper fees (see PLOS,

I think you should try it with a blue substance that should then look greenish, or perhaps a reddish solution that should then look orange. I also think you should bring in an incandescent light and try it with the wine a well as with the blue or red solution. Perhaps you should simply try

I have a couple of points: (1) You seem to be saying below that the wine turns blue because the sink is slightly yellow -- I assume it is porcelain. Since pH appears to affect the color of wine, what is the pH of porcelain or of the material lining your sink? Do you know anyone in materials

Possibly… now, get some red food coloring, add a little bit of blue to get a color similar to the wine. Then, dilute it as before and pour it into the sink. If you get a similar color shift, then it is probably color of sink rather than chemical reaction. Do the same with blue food coloring

I'll try this one -- it's easier than trying to figure the ph of the porcelain (although that's an interesting idea and I wish I could do it). I'll get some food coloring when I shop this weekend, and will report back what I find. If it works, I'll be all set to celebrate. :) Thanks, all! m

If you have a pH thing going on, you could just add a few drops of vinegar to see if that creates a color change (or add a bit of baking soda). If it depends on a pH change, you could create the change in the wine glass. I assume the sink might be more alkaline, so it would be baking soda in the

Hmm. As red wine ages and eventually becomes vinegar it gets a reddish, or burgundy hue to it (depending on the grape). So if I were to make it more alkaline. Hmm. I'm doing chemistry this weekend! With wine! m -- Marc Carter, PhD Associate Professor of Psychology Chair, Department of
