Leftover red wine

How long can I use leftover red wine for cooking before it's vinegar?

I opened it on 17th Jan, drank half then forgot about it Blush. Can I use it today for a casserole or will it be grim?

I would

GreyishDays · 16/02/2020 16:33

Sorry, I don’t think you can use it. I’d think a few days, maybe a week at an absolute push.

Does it smell off? If not use it. Nigella recommends freezing any leftover wine to use in cooking. I never seem to have leftover wine myself...

What is leftover red wine?

I wouldn’t - i think that’s just a little too long. If I think I won’t drink all the wine in the bottle in good time I freeze it. Smile

Bugger - beaten to the post!

Was about to say the same! DF always leaves the tiniest drop in the bottle & I always think “ Just finish it!”

It will be fine! Use it.

You would need to have added vinegar mother culture to it to turn it into vinegar.

I would do it and have drunk older wine

IHaveBrilloHair · 16/02/2020 16:38

It'll be fine.
I just buy the wine stick pots now as I really hate wine.

  • Left - over - red - wine ?
I understand each one of those words with no problem whatsoever however when put into a sentence that they are complete gibberish can you please translate this into something that makes sense for me

C’mon people don't fall for this! ConfusedGrin

I promise I'm not some weird wine trollGrin

Well the red wine went into making a very nice sausage and lentil casserole. It's a bit sharp but happy not to have wasted it!

Ideal thing to do with red wine that's gone past the drinking point. It's not as if a bit of vinegar would harm a stew anyway.

What is left over red wine?

There is no such thing as leftover wine! Wine
