I'm having a senior moment (I'm entitled, 12 days to the big 7-0)...

Is a Light Bulb "Medium Base" a _standard_ ordinary, everyday light
bulb base?

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Finally found a "specification"...

"Medium", aka E26, is 26mm base thread diameter

Had some weird 11W small bulb standard-looking base thread in the BBQ
lighting.

Found only "medium" base listings... which apparently, in the USA, is
also called "standard" and "Edison".
