left over wine

[weekendwellies]

OK I know it doesn't often happen, but :-

Don't tip that last dribble of wine down the sink - pour it into an ice-cube tray and freeze it for later use in cookery.
White wine that has already soured can be added to vinegar and used as a tasty marinade for meat.

'Scuse me - what's left over wine?
Sorry - Hans Mum - didn't mean to echo - posted before reading each reply! I was once shown the old trick of laying the bottle down on its side for a few minutes to collect the last dribble!

No...struggling with the concept of left over wine here too. Sorry.

I also struggle with the idea of left over mashed potato, as I don't believe that you can ever get full on mashed potato - there's always a little more room.

I know, I did start with ' I know it doesnt happen often ...'

I find it happens most after parties. We call them "Beer Crimes"; when you're clearing up and you find open cans 3/4 full of stale beer.
Any wine goes into the gravy culture, bolognese or freezer.

Leftover whine is what you do when you have run out of wine.

You know your audience well...

It is a very good and practical tip, just not many of us capable of employing it, it seems!

..except...

Ok I'm going to upset a few people now.

My brothers partner used to work for a now non-existent airline who flew passengers across the Atlantic and to Dubai "business" class.

Before each flight the cabin crew had to open several bottles of wine (half decent stuff too so I'm informed) prior to passengers boarding the plane in order that the wine could breathe and so on.

If, when they reached their destination the opened wine had not been consumed they (the cabin crew) had to throw the wine down the pan. Literally.

As I say, the airline is now unfortunately no longer operating. One wonders how much the waste wine had to do with their downfall...

Hmm..I know about this...and just before they landed the boozed up local men 'gowned up'
( I understood Vodka was a drink of choice so it couldn't be detected )
