If you’re a wine enthusiast, it may be difficult to believe that you would ever have any leftover wine. I am indeed a wine enthusiast, and occasionally I find that I have some leftover wine after a party. You can actually freeze wine to be used later (it won’t be good to drink, but it will be fine to add to recipes). Here’s a nice tutorial on how to freeze wine– from The Art of Doing Stuff. And here are 100 Recipes Using Leftover Red Wine (click titles to reach the recipe).
