Which U.S. best-selling wine is often referred to as "over-oaked" and "not food-friendly"?

The U.S. best-selling wine often labeled "over-oaked" and "not food-friendly" is typically California Chardonnay, particularly the heavily oaked, buttery styles that became popular but then saw a backlash from wine drinkers seeking fresher, less rich whites like Sauvignon Blanc, leading to the "ABC" (Anything But Chardonnay) trend.

What company introduced the first canned ham in the US in 1926?

Hormel Foods (then Geo. A. Hormel & Co.) introduced the first canned ham in the U.S. in 1926, called the "Hormel Flavor-Sealed Ham," a revolutionary product that extended the shelf life of ham and made it a staple food item for Americans, paving the way for other canned meats like SPAM later on.

What food item does the painting technique "Tempera" commonly uses as a binder?

The food item commonly used as a binder in traditional tempera painting is egg yolk, which mixes with powdered pigments to create a fast-drying, permanent paint, hence its name "egg tempera". Other variations might use egg whites or even milk protein (casein) as binders, but egg yolk is the classic choice, known for producing luminous colors.
