Spanish language Q&A Forum

The test asked to translate "I like white wine" to Spanish, but indicated "Me gusta el vino blanco" was the correct answer. The English sentence seemed unspecific to me, as though the speaker was making a general statement about a category of wine they liked. To add an article seems to imply the speaker likes a specific kind of wine ("I like the white wine"). Is this the same implication in Spanish? Could one say "me gusta vino blanco"? Or is an article always required, and unspecific preferences would require "un/una"?

Thank you.

If estar is to be used with a location, why use ser to discuss where one is from?

In an A1 writing exercise about ordering at a restaurant, I encountered the phrase "How can I help you?" with the hint "Lit. What do you wish?" I was not prepared with an answer so I learned a new phrase!

Are the phrases interchangeable? 

Thank you,

Text reads: "A pesar de que solo tres mujeres resultaron elegidas"........shouldn't this be "a pesar de que sólo tres mujeres resultaron eligidas"?

I would translate quería as I wanted or was wanting.  Thank you.

No entiendo que el “este” significa en esta frase :(
