Drink it, I know  . I have a full bottle of opened red wine. I can have a glass but is there anything I can do with the rest before it skunks?

| Get a vacu vin to stopper it so it will last a bit longer and drink a glass every night. |

| I limit myself to one glass of wine per week, so no need for more advice to drink it (plus, thought I pre-empted that!). Thanks for the vinegar idea. Looking for other ideas, thanks. |

There are many recipes that call for wine. Google. Make plans for such dinner or dinners for the next few nights. Drink a glass with if you want.
You can always pour it down the drain. Really, you can, and it's ok. |

| Make coq au vin, or some other red wine stew? |

1st, store it in the fridge, just like grape juice.
Add to a chicken and mushroom dish and cook down, then add a splash of cream or half and half. Serve with egg noodles. |

| Don't you need wine for beef bourgeois or however you spell that Julia Child dish? |

| I freeze extra wine and then use it for cooking. |

| It'll stay good in the refrigerator for a few weeks. I use a good third of a bottle in my homemade spaghetti sauce, and I make a beef stew and a tortellini soup with sausage that use a cup or two of red wine each. You can also fry some finely sliced red onion and garlic, deglaze the pan with a couple of cups of red wine, add two cans of whole berry cranberry sauce, stir in a little nutmeg, and use it as a sauce for pork or beef roast or mix it into pasta with sautéed spinach and crumbled sausage. |

| If you are like quite a few DCUM'ers there is no such thing as EXTRA red wine, only people that know their limits. |

I would do this if I ever had extra wine. |
