Used to make vinegar
According toReader's Digest, you add the red wine to an unsterilized jar of vinegar, set it aside, and stir it weekly. A few weeks later, you'll have a jar of handmade, natural, and nutritious vinegar.
Used to flavor soups and stews
Red wine is great to add to soups or stews, especially those containing tomatoes and beef.
Note, these dishes contain a lot of energy, not good for dieters.
Boil fruit in wine
You boil fruits like peaches, plums, apples, pears... in red wine and sugar for about 10 minutes over low heat, the flavor is very special.
Used to trap flies
Open the bottle when there is little wine left like a fly trap. The smell of the wine will attract the flies to the bottom of the bottle and they will not be able to fly away.
Fried eggs
Adding any type of white wine to eggs makes them wonderful. Adding wine to eggs gives them a fluffy, smooth texture.
Make into ice
You put wine in ice cube trays and put them in the refrigerator. The "wine ice cubes" are used to make sauces or add to stews to slow cook.
