Second chance for leftover wine

Opened bottles are best placed directly in the refrigerator. There, they’re in good hands for another two to five days, until the wine deteriorates and becomes inedible due to contact with oxygen.

With a vacuum pump this process can be delayed for several days for still wine. There are special systems for sparkling wines that create back pressure to prevent carbon dioxide from escaping. However, the wine can be used elsewhere before it finally reaches its time. Get inspired below.

With lemonade, a few lemon slices and ice, you can make a spritzer in no time. The Spanish version with red wine is just as delicious. Tinto de Verano, a young, fruity wine that you dilute in a 1:1 mix ratio, is ideal for this.

In the marinade, the acidity of the wine acts as a softener. For example, white wine goes well with pork chops, while red wine goes better with beef. To do this, mix equal amounts of oil and wine. Add spices, fresh herbs or garlic as desired. Once all the ingredients are well mixed you can marinate the meat and let the wine work wonders.

Numerous dishes get a special flavor from a generous sip of grape juice. Sauces, risotto, casseroles: the list could go on. If none of these are on your menu plan for the next few days, you can send the wine to endless ice and freeze it in muffin or ice cube molds. The part you need for your next cooking project is right at your fingertips.

Wine also has a permanent place in the oven. For example, how about the Apulian snack taralli, the Vaud white wine cake or the wet chocolate and red wine cake? For sweet flavors, it’s best to choose a drop that isn’t aged in wood or only for a very short period of time so the end result isn’t bitter in taste.

A classic of French cuisine is poached pears. For four pears you need about 500 milliliters of red or white wine, 100 grams of sugar and the essence of a vanilla bean. Bring these ingredients to a boil in a saucepan and add the peeled, seeded and halved fruit. Let everything simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes. You can boil the remaining water and pour it over the pears. Cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, and oranges also do well in the red version. Ginger or saffron goes great with white wine.

What made us happy in childhood may retain its charm into adulthood. Red wine instead of strawberry syrup? Bring it on! You can use it to add flavor to fresh cheese, ice cream or cocktails. You can create a nice side dish in a few minutes by boiling two parts of sugar with three parts of wine until it reaches a thick consistency.
