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).

7 Tips for Cooking with Wine
There you go! Let me know if I forgot anything 🙂
Oh my goodness — what a fabulous list! I run into the leftover wine problem often with entertaining and just having little ol’ me here afterwards — am totally bookmarking this roundup! 🙂
Love, love, love this! I always have bottles left over that are suitable for cooking but wouldn’t want to drink.
What a round up, Lori, wow! I wish I had this post years ago when I had soooo many half-opened bottles of wine going. Lately, more coffee than wine around here 🙂
I’d crack open a bottle just to make some of these! What a great list of recipes using wine! Thanks for including my kale. 🙂
Cheers!
Thanks! I have so much red wine left from Rosh Hashana and I really don’t drink it – this gives me some great ideas for how to use it!
Wow this is an AMAZING round-up. As I usually don’t have any wine left over (hey I have a 2 year old and need my wine 🙂 ) this list gives me a great excuse to open another bottle tonight!
I feel ya on the heat! It was 91 here yesterday with a fire in the hills. Not so fall-ish here in SoCal…
Great post! I never throw my wine away : )
I love this post! Thank you!
I was thinking the same thing – leftover red wine? When does that ever happen? haha. I do sometimes have some and I like to put it in homemade pizza/pasta sauce!
What a great idea for a post, I’m definitely bookmarking a ton of those recipes!
