Can I use red wine instead of white wine??

[berri]

I've got half a bottle of red to use up (drink it I hear you say!!) and I'm doing a mushroom/bacon/cream/tagliatelle thing tonight which I'd usually put white wine in.

Should I put the red in instead, or just not bother with either?

[Montifer]

I'd leave it out, think red will turn it an awfully unappetising colour, drink it

[muddleduck]

If you want to put the wine in then leave out the cream.

[LovelyTinOfSpam]

Agree with montifer

[MadameCastafiore]

Ha ha - you will have pink dinner!

I'd leave it out!

[Alibabaandthe40nappies]

Red wine and cream do not mix - I would drink the wine and leave the dinner as it is.

[berri]

Haha - I didn't think about the pink result

Ok down the hatch it is!

NO no no no

Made this mistake once and the sauce tasted nice but looked like blackberry yogurt
