Pondering the last of the Summer wine...

put the cork back in, put in fridge, it will be tolerable for another day or two

Yeah, you lost me on the leftover alcohol part.

Use a stopper, I would say. And if you've had a crappy enough day, a 3 day old bottle of wine that's been sitting out won't slow you down one bit. I've taken out half a bottle of rather old, nasty wine in 3 swigs if my day was bad enough.

I don't know why they even bother to put screw caps on bottles. Like I'm gonna need that shiat.

If its red wine I put it in spaghetti sauce.

If its white wine, I add in some 7Up and give it to my 4 year old niece.

Sometimes the 3rd bottle has leftovers, but I just call it "tomorrow's first bottle."

My grandfather used to distill it and make brandy until he burned down the garage and his 57 Buick convertible.

I use white wines in speghetti sauce. It doesn't dominate the flavor the way red wines often do, but it still adds to the overall taste of the meal.

Sometimes, that second 1.75 liter bottle isn't quite gone by the time you pass out.

If it's still drinkable the next day, drink it to help abate the hangover. If it's turned, use it for cooking in the next day or two.

I'm unfamiliar with the concept of "leftover wine."

... Is... is it like you won't drink it before it spoils?
 
2010-05-10 04:21:53 PM
Leftover wine? Is that anything like left-over steak?

This. Use it to de-glaze the pan you seared your steak or tuna in. toss in some mushrooms, fresh herbs, and reduce... yum!

Eh, I'd just drink leftover wine. Any old port in a storm as they say. But it sure is OK to cook with it. Your sensitive palate won't be able to tell.

/loved watching that show

2010-05-10 04:24:06 PM
Let's see:
- Marinade
- Deglazing
- Sauce
- Mulling

Lots you can do with it, depending on what and how much you have.

Six half full glasses will get you a full bottle for Glowergold. Just need the cheese then.

Dear Lifehacker,
I have many half-empty bottles of red wine...


A thought... you might want to try drinking one bottle before you open another one - that just might solve the problem.

Yeah, that's me at my wine club. I'd love to invite you to dinner, but you are married, and alas, women are not allowed:

Here's an experiment you can do at home.

(Between days, keep white wines in the fridge, and red wines in a cool place.)

Open a bottle of wine, and have a glass. Note what it tastes like, and put a stopper in the bottle.

Repeat with the same bottle the following day. Note the changes in taste.

Repeat on a daily basis until the flavour starts to deteriorate.

Tastes like that wine-by-the glass they sell at the theater, doesn't it.

Take one less day to drink it next time.

Do this often enough, and you'll learn quite a lot about wine.

I keep my leftover wine next to the leftover crack.
 
2010-05-10 04:40:49 PM
I just leave the box in the refrigerator. I usually can't go through a whole one of those in one night. Is this wrong?
