What can I do with wine?

I was given a bottle of fizzy wine recently but we don't drink. Is there any way I can use it up in cooking? It's a rose - is that a sweet wine? If so it won't go well in a bolognese.
We've also got a bottle of red wine which someone gave us 5 years or so ago which I will eventually use in cooking (it's probably turned to red wine vinegar by now anyway!)

Not in cooking, but could you use it instead of water when making a jelly, that might be nice?0

I seem to remember my DF using some sparkling rose wine in a risotto last time I visited - I thought it was a bit of an odd idea but it tasted really nice. (Sorry, dad, I should have trusted you! :rotfl:) I think it was a chicken and mushroom risotto but I think it would work with most things as long as the wine isn't too sweet.Back after a very long break!0

Why not just give both bottles to a Charity raffle or something.
Or someone doing a Tombbolamake the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.

I made a risotto using rose wine instead of white wine and it was fine.0

You could replace the water in any berry Kissel recipe. This should cook off the alcohol somewhat.Truth always poses doubts & questions. Only lies are 100% believable, because they don't need to justify reality. - Carlos Ruiz Zafon, The Labyrinth of the Spirits0

I wish I'd read this earlier. For the first time in absolutely ages I decided to make a risotto for dinner and never thought of putting the wine in - I didn't know risotto normally did have wine in

Regift it to someone else?
Risotto can have wine in or not, it isn't necessary just a nice to have. I generally put a splash in if I have wine open anyway, but if I'm not having any wine I leave it out and it's still fine.0 -
Put it in your pressie drawer (but remember who gave it to you :rotfl:) if you feel this goes against the spirit of receiving a gift, spend the money saved on something you do like and enjoy
