Sometimes you open a bottle of wine and after you taste it, you realize it’s not for you. Well, if you don’t want to go wasting an entire bottle of wine, there are plenty of things for you to make with it that will turn it into something entirely new and delicious. Follow these recipes and not let a drop go to waste.
Sangria
When in doubt, make a sangria! This works with all types of wine, including bubbly! You can also manipulate it to have it be more of your flavor profile. If the wine is too sweet, add something tart to it like cherry juice. If the wine isn’t sweet enough, add orange or apple juice.
Risotto
One of the key ingredients to risotto is wine. If you aren’t satisfied with your wine, that is a great place to put it. The reason why is because the alcohol and the flavor cook out of the wine so what you’re left with is a creamy risotto without any hint of a disappointing wine bottle.
Deglazing
Another way to use up wine is by making it a deglazing liquid. If you are cooking vegetables or any ingredient on a high heat and you want to scrape the bottom and get all the good flavor out, use a dash of wine.
