I needed 1/2 cup for a recipe now what do I do with the rest? I am not wine drinker. Can you freeze it?
-
I freeze it in 1/2 to 1 cup portions. I use white for risotto and red for tomato sauce.
-
Yes. I would put in ice cube trays, freeze, and then you have for future recipes.
-
@lamariniere: oooooh, good idea!
-
Buy 1 of the mini bottles!
-
@Mrs D: too late - haha
@lamariniere: @Smurfette: great - thanks! -
@Mamaof2: I keep a couple white and a couple red on hand. I use them when the recipe is not really going to carry the flavor and therefore I dont care about the quality!
-
I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with this concept....!
-
I actually cook with wine somewhat frequently enough that I buy a box of wine and keep it in my pantry. I know that doesn't help you in this instance but just a tip.
As others have mentioned, you can freeze it.
-
Leftover wine, hahahahahahahahahaha.
-
@ElbieKay: i was going to say the same!
-
This has never happened to me!
-
You can make coq au vin or a white version!
-
Yeah for the future, you can buy a bottle of "cooking wine" (in the baking section) in red or white, and just use as much as you need and keep it on hand.
So many good food ideas you could do with red wine thought! This will knock down another 3/4 cup: https://smittenkitchen.com/2011/09/red-wine-chocolate-cake/

@ElbieKay: I've also never had this problem! Haha
