Help - I need to save some Bolognaise!

[LaLaLouella]

DD is cooking bolognaise sauce for dinner - I grabbed a recipe for her to follow from one of my favourite (and normally reliable) cookbooks.

I've just checked it after 90 minutes bubbling and it's the strangest purple colour. A quick scan of the recipe shows there is 1kg beef mince, a 400g can of tomatoes and 500ml of red wine in it!

A quick taste test and it tastes quite bitter - any suggestions how to rescue it? More tomatoes? Sugar?

What did you do @LaLaLouella? Did you go with the sugar?

Yes! Extra tomatoes and a teaspoonful of sugar seemed to do the trick. I also cooked it for as long as I could before hungry family members insisted it was done!
