There are many ways to use old wine in your cooking. For example, You can braise meat in old wine. You can cook with old bottles of opened wine long after it’s become undrinkable.

Marinate mushrooms in red wine, sprinkle with feta, and serve with bagel crisps for an appetizer. Add a little red wine when cooking wild rice. Use it to saute Portobello mushrooms. Pork belly marinated for one night with red wine and soy sauce , and just grill it!!!
