What to do with leftover red wine?

I've got about half a bottle of Rioja left, what can I do with it apart from the obvious? I have a cupboard full of spices and stuff, a pack of diced lamb or chicken in the freezer but no idea what to do!
At ideas?

I have never heard of this 'leftover wine' of which you speak. Do Ocado stock it?

Oops posted too soon! Meant to ask how long it can be sat out before it tastes funny, or can it be frozen?

Freeze it to use in a casserole later on?

I know, it's not something we have ever had in this house either, it took me quite by surprise! I've just got over a stinking hangover from the weekend and can't face anymore alcohol for a good while yet, but needed it for a recipe today. Dilemma!

Leftover wine? Never realised there was such a thing....

But if there is, maybe make chicken chasseur. Chicken with garlic, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, red wine and herbs.

If you do freeze it, freeze it as ice cubes and then it's easy to use a few for gravy etc.

Ooh, hang on, I think I remember this phenomenon happening in our house a long time ago and, yes, I recall I made red wine ice cubes. Not sure what came over me really!

I freeze it. Ice cubes sounds good but I use a tub and when I'm making lasagne, I use the hot spoon and scoop out what I want.

The lamb, spices, and wine sound like they will come together beautifully for a tasty supper OP.
Wish I was half as inspired for ours !

This happened to me once.

I froze it in small portions (ice cube tray I think) and then used the cubes here and there is spag Bol, casseroles etc. Came in quite handy actually.

As this as rare as a unicorn I would photograph it and then put it somewhere safe for an emergency.

Left over wine Confused - not in this house!

I think Delia recommends freezing in ice cube trays so that you can add later to dishes.
