Because in the household, these wine residues are still a miracle cure.

  • Often there is something left in the

    wine bottle

    at the end of the evening

    .

  • For tilting are

    wine remains

    too bad, what can you instead, so even start?

  • Tips for consumers: You can do this with the rest of the

    wine

    .

Offenbach Who doesn't know it?

The last third of

your favorite wine

stays in the bottle at the end of the evening.

Far too often the rest ends up in the drain.

Mostly it's a shame about the good

wine

, which is often not cheap either.

We have put together some tips for recycling the

leftover wine

.

Store leftover wine correctly: This is how wine can be kept for as long as possible

In order

to keep

leftover wine

edible for as long as possible, you should

ensure

that the opened bottle is stored correctly.

The basic rule here is: the less there is left in the

wine bottle

, the shorter the

wine

stays

drinkable.

This is due to the larger amount of oxygen in the bottle - the

wine

oxidizes.

So that the

wine

tastes as long as possible, it should be closed again quickly.

Lying in the refrigerator, it will last the longest.

White wine

stays fresh for two to three days,

red wine

even a little longer.

This is due to the tannins contained in

red wine

, which work like a natural preservative.

Use wine for cooking or baking

Even if the

wine

no longer tastes good in the glass: it can still be a pleasure in food.

A classic among the recipes with wine would be the good old red wine cake, for example.

The

wine

from a few days ago

is also suitable for this

.

But wine also gives main dishes a wonderful note: the tomato sauce as a base for pizza or pasta sauce is particularly good here.

In the cold season, it is also possible to further process it with mulled wine.

There is still a lot to be

gained

from the

leftover

wine

.

Or how about a combination with tofu?

Sounds unusual, but it is well known that trying new things keeps life varied.

However, you shouldn't wait too long before using the

leftover wine

for

cooking

.

After a week at the latest, good taste in food is a thing of the past.

Freeze the wine and use the leftover wine later

There

is still something left of your

favorite wine

, but you won't be

boiling

anytime soon

?

In ice cube trays can be

wine leftovers

freeze beautifully and can be thawed when needed.

This tip is

particularly

helpful

if you plan to use the

wine

for cooking.

Frozen

wine

lasts almost forever and when added to a sauce, it thaws again in a flash - and is then even pre-portioned.

You all know the trick for the #Weinreste?

In the ice cube tray, freezer, and refine sauces with it.

Use the leftover wine as a bath additive and tighten the skin

Red wine

contains antioxidants that are supposed to tone the skin.

A cup of

red wine

in a hot bath is said to work wonders.

The soothing time out in the tub with a glass of

wine

can save you an expensive visit to the spa.

Sparkling wine that has become stale should also be suitable as a refreshing bath additive.

It is known that it becomes inedible particularly quickly.

But you can avoid this with simple tricks.

What do you do with the leftover wine?

Making wine vinegar from wine

Is the

wine

older and is it starting to taste like vinegar?

Then you can complete this process right away and

prepare

your

own

wine vinegar

.

All you need is a mother of vinegar, which you can buy in most organic and drug stores - and patience.

Instead of the mother of vinegar, however, you can also use naturally cloudy apple cider vinegar.

Wine: Build a fruit fly trap out of leftover wine and save money

Fruit flies

are

a terribly annoying problem

in

summer

.

Expensive fruit fly traps can help, but you can also get rid of the critters with home-made means.

The sour smell in

red wine

is said to magically attract the flies, and besides

red wine

you don't need many ingredients.

Simply put a cup of

wine

and a cup of

water

with

washing-

up

liquid

in a bowl and set up in the affected area: the trap is ready to get rid of the fruit flies.

Wine as a cleaning agent?

Remove stains with wine residue

Attention, this last tip should be treated with caution!

Allegedly,

white wine

is supposed to

help against acute red wine stains.

To do this, you should simply pour white wine on the affected area, leave it on for ten minutes and then rinse it off with lukewarm water.

This should neutralize the stain - try it at your own risk!
