Too often there is still something left in the bottle, it is too good to dump the wine.
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.
Type of wine | ¾ bottle full (shelf life) | ½ bottle full (shelf life) |
---|---|---|
red wine | 7 days | 4 to 7 days |
White wine | 3 to 5 days | 2 to 3 days |
Sparkling and sparkling wine | Drink the same day | Drink the same day |
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.

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!
