What do I do with an opened bottle of wine?!
I opened a bottle of wine (pinot noir, I got it as a gift a few years back) to use some in a soup, but now I have almost an entire bottle of wine left, and I don't drink!!! Can I store an opened bottle!? how long will it be good for!? What else can I do with it, other than make more soup!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can also use it to make a reduction sauce for steak!. Brown the steak in a skillet on a stove top, then finish in the oven!. Pour the wine into the same pan you used to brown the steak!. Make sure to stir the bottom to get all the toasty bits left over from the steak into the wine!. Heat, stirring occassionally, until it boils!. Stir continuiously until mixture has reduced by half the original amount!. Add a few cubes of cold butter and whisk over low until the butter is melted!. Season to taste with salt & pepper!.

I know a girl who used to pour left over wine into ziplock baggies, squeeze the air out, a freeze until she needed it again!. To thaw, she just put it under cold running water for a few minutes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
