Cooking with Wine

 

 

Though my husband and I don't drink alcohol, I do use wine and other spirits in cooking. Did you know that you can freeze wine to use at a later date? I learned that from @nigellalawson. I need half a cup of dry white wine for @inagarten's Winter Minestrone, so the rest of this pretty bottle will be frozen in half cup increments for future recipes.

It was silly to get this sparkly wine collar a few months ago, but I just couldn't resist. I'll be using it when I serve all of the bottles of sparkling apple cider I am stocking in our pantry!
