The World Wine Guys and Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits offer these ideas to help you put your leftover wine to good use this holiday season:<\/p>\n

Make\u00a0Red Wine Vinegar<\/span>
\n<\/b>Impress your guests by adding homemade red wine vinegar to your next dish. Add one part raw vinegar to two parts leftover red wine then store your mixture in a dark, cool place. Monitor periodically and keep testing until you get the desired vinegar smell, strain and refrigerate. Use as desired on salads and in homemade sauces and marinades.<\/p>\n

Create Wine Ice Cubes
\n<\/b>If you can’t use your leftover white wine right away, pour the remaining liquid into ice trays and freeze. Next time you’re enjoying a glass, add some of the cubes to your wine to keep it cold. This trick can also work with a ros\u00e9 or sparkling wine like Josh Cellars California Ros\u00e9 or Enza Prosecco. Using the frozen wine cubes instead of ice can prevent what you pour from becoming too watered down.<\/p>\n

Wine-Based Recipes
\n<\/b>Both red and white wines can be used in a variety of different dishes from appetizers to desserts. Keep in mind that open bottles should be used within 2-3 days, so look to use your leftovers sooner rather than later. Try adding wine to a seasonal side dish like these White Wine Glazed Carrots. It can also be used as a savory addition to main courses such as this classic Red Wine Tomato Sauce.<\/p>\n
