aibu to lol at the tip of the day regarding leftover wine?

[bambam30]

that doesn't happen often in our house

Leftover wine? Hmmmm..nope no idea what that is.

Leftover wine.
An oxymoron obv!

loved it - a bit like those diet programmes that suggest you "just have a square" of chocolate rather than the whole bar!

Leftover wine??

admit I did have a snurk here too

Cooking wine? We don't have bottles of cooking wine as such - I find it a damned fine excuse to open a bottle.

'cooking wine' - is that what you drink when you are cooking?

I had a laugh to myself too when I saw the tip of the day. What is this thing called leftover wine? Does it exist?

I too PMSL at the concept of 'leftover' wine.

If it means dregs in glasses, fine, but that goes into the vinegar jar in our house.

well it's not my tip, but I do freeze leftover wine (it can happen, you know). It doesn't freeze very well though - the inside of my top freezer drawer is very pink now from 'wine slush'

I thought it was a good tip, but then I do wometimes have left over wine. I can't get through a bottle on my own.

I laughed when I saw the tip of the day ... but only because I have been laughed at on here for doing exactly the same thing. So I knew there would be a thread today taking the piss out of the tip

BUT ... I don't drink. And dh has had to cut down on the amount he drinks because he has high blood pressure and gout. So if he does open a bottle of red, there is a chance that some will be left over - and I either use it in cooking or freeze it to use later.

It would only be thrown away otherwise - and it's better used than wasted, surely?

Not a tip I would follow as never enough wine - She did win the competition though

leftover wine?nah pop it into a doidy cup for wee one to sup with greggs sausage roll

whenever I cooked with wine I used absolutely LOADS

woudl an ice-cube sized bit DO much?

I did it when I was pregnant, freezing wine that is, otherwise there is no such thing as 'leftover' wine in my house .
I drunk some when I'd had the baby as there was quite an accumulation, it was nasty.

You drank wine that you'd frozen shineyshoes? I think you're supposed to cook with it aren't you, not drink it! (although if you're desperate ... )

Did anyone see my duck stew on another thread that uses a bottle of wine, (minus a glass for yourself as you slave over this dish that takes 6min to prepare). Now that?s cooking with wine.

Don?t think I would use up the dreads from peoples glasses though? ekk

no it is mad

you deliberately cook with wine in order to open a bottle

Or just deliberately cook to open wine. It helps me organize? ah, whom I?m kidding. I rarely ?cook?; eat lots of pasta. DH cooks when he?s home. Tonight though I have a sea bass in the fridge and in-depth instructions from DH what to do with it. He?s so good.

where can you see the tip of the day then?!
