To wonder what to do with a box of rancid wine

[Monty27]

I found it in the back of a cupboard from Christmas 2019. I'd do Christmas shopping early and hide stuff 😂

Red or white?

Red, casseroles, white, pickles.

Offer it to visitors you don't like.

Deffo cook with it. White for risotto, red for beef

If its definitely off then don't cook with it, you'll ruin your meal. Just tip it down the sink.

Dump it down the drain.

Just because it’s from 2019 doesn’t mean it’s rancid. Sniff test before you tip it down the sink!!

Possibly make vinegar if you can get a mother (if that's what it's called). But it'll ruin any meal that calls for wine.

I'd try it before chucking it. It might be OK to drink.

If it's unopened it will probably be fine, even good!
Opened.... all bets are off

Yes I agree with you.

At least do a taster like on a wine tasting lol

I’ve never been on one but I’ve read about them.

If it is very cheap or taste gross tip it down the drain and recycle bottles.

The sniff and visual tests have been done.
Absolutely no way is it drinkable. Not even for cooking. It's really rancid. I wouldn't even use it for cooking.
It's Marche Blonde Italian white "craft wine"
Can I even use it in the garden to ward off snails?
😱 Can't believe the waste of a whole box of wine 😭😭😭🤣

At this time I’d drink it 🤣🤣

I thought wine would be ok if it hasn't been opened at all.. like the aged wines that people keep in cellars, as some of them mature I thought.

Why is this even a question! What on earth else could you do with it other than just tip it out!

So did I. I opened it to pour a glass into a dish I was cooking. It was like dark brown and stank 😲😂

In which case, straight into the drain. Might clear any potential blockages

If it was in a bottle it would probably be OK, but boxes are not designed for long term storage. It's oxidised, dark brown and usually a slight sherry sort of taste. Flush it , don't waste any time on it.

Why do people bother posting questions like this 🤔😳🤦‍♀️

Pour it down the toilet. If it's turned into a nasty vinegar like thing then at least it'll do some good cleaning the loo

Down the sink, run the hot tap etc. There's no way to cook with it.

Boxies are only good for same day purchase and drinking!

Pour it down the sink and flush with lots of hot water, then chuck the packaging in the bin. If it really stinks don't bother emptying it and just chuck it in the bin as is, it'll end up in landfill so the smell will be masked by the other shite there.

I was wondering the same. Can't drink it, can't cook with it - just bin it then

Perhaps they thought it could be used for cleaning, like white vinegar!

I was thinking it might be useful in the garden to ward off snails for example. Cleaning a drain possibly.
You know, I hoped I could use it as a hack of some sort.
If you think posting is a waste of time, then don't read it. Easy.
