Can I make a decent beef stew with rose wine?

[colditz]

And does it have to be nice newly opened rose or can I use the stuff that's been sitting out for a month 'cos I don't like it?

Oh well I have done now. Too late to stop me.

nooooooooooooooooooo !! don;lt do it

oh, tis too late

as you were...........

oh noooooo will it be really bad? ReallY bad? The meat is nice...

no, i don;t think it will be really bad, rose is not as heavy and flavoursome as red wine, but i don;t thikn it will be awful at all !

Just asked my dh a chef who was horrified at the thought!!!!

I have tasted it.

It's not very nice, to be honest. Would have been ok with pork I think, but it's a bit too acidic for beef.

Shame because it was a nice shin of beef!

but is it edible?

not yet, no. It needs a couple of hours, to be honest.

if oyu heated it on the hob so it was really bubbling, do you thikn it would cook off the alcohol or is it too late?

I already did that to start it off - it's not the alcohol I can taste. i think it will mellow out - although I think I have overloaded it with celery too

It will be fine with dumplings and roasties.

It will be ok, probably not stunning but fine. The problem is probably that it was old and not nice to begin with tbh

oh dear

i hate it when that happens, you make something lovely, tweak it, and then it is not half as good as you expect...

i;m sure it will be just fine in the end
