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.

Ingredients:

This sangria recipe is made with red wine, but if you have some white left at home, you can also give it a try. The first thing you need is a 750ml. bottle of red wine. The fruit list includes 1 lemon, 1 orange, 1 apple. If you love berries feel free to add some blueberries and strawberries. You will also need 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 1/2 oz brandy and 2 cups club soda. Some people prefer to do it with ginger ale.

Instructions:

The sangria recipe will take you around 5-10 minutes to prep. All you have to do is cut all the fruits on tiny pieces, except for the lemons and oranges. You will need a large pitcher to put the wine in. Squeeze the lemons and the oranges together with the wine. Put the chopped fruit in, together with the sugar and brandy. Cover the pitcher and leave it in the fridge overnight. Add the soda right before you pour it.
