Liebfraumilch ideas?!

Bit of a strange one, but you never know...I have just won a bottle of Liebfraumilch at a school tombola. It's not something we would usually drink, but I wonder if anybody has any bright ideas for using it up? We don't know anybody who would drink it either, so thinking cooking or cocktail recipes or similar? Hate waste so good to see it being used. Thanks Smile

I'd drink it, with a bit of lemonade in, but then I like lambrini 🙈

I think you could probably do Nigella's Coq au Riesling but you might need to adjust the seasoning for sweetness.

Well, if it's Black Tower I suggest you pour the 'wine' away and convert the bottle into a stylish table lamp that will be the envy of all your friends.

I'm loving all these suggestions, thank you! Really drawn to tartiflette & also chicken casserole 😋 Although the retro dinner parties sounds amazing Grin

As a German I can only recommend to pour it down the drain. Honestly, I can't think of any reason to use it in food or in a drink.

Im not German, but i agree with, you im sure there are lots of nice German wines, but Libefraumilch isnt one of them 🤮

Am I the only one who would just drink it?

I was going to suggest coq au Riesling instead, only Nigel Slater’s version instead of Nigella’s.

Invite your MIL over and passive aggressively serve it slightly warm to her.
And pour yourself a glass of Sancerre

Oh hell, I’d either donate it back to the tombola at Christmas or anyone who might drink it (no one) or… I’d say pour it down the sink but people will leap at me and tell me there’s thirsty alcoholics in the world and that’s a disgusting waste. It’s vile, I’d be getting shot of it ASAP!

Excelthetube · 05/09/2021 22:01

Can you treat it like a pudding wine?

Boredmotherofone · 05/09/2021 22:02

Here's an idea - you could really 'rough it' like the commoners and actually taste it??? I'm sure nobody you know will ever find out!

RampantIvy · 05/09/2021 22:16

I didn't know you could still buy it.

Check how old it is. White wine should be drunk young. I won a box of 5 white wines in a raffle recently, and most of them have gone down the sink because they were way past their best. The oldest wine was 14 years old! We think that the wines came out of the home of someone recently deceased. No-one keeps white wine that long.

Please, do not use it for a recipe which asks for Riesling. Riesling is a quite dry wine, the food will taste terrible.

Tooembarrassingtomention · 06/09/2021 21:01

Just drink it- it is actually quite nice

HurryUpAndWait23 · 06/09/2021 21:14

Give it to someone you hate?

Fucking awful stuff.

Make a jelly. Yum.
