Why can cooking wine be refrigerated for months after opening, but bottled wine supposedly goes bad in a week?
This is not a Q about cooking wine being garbage and you would never buy it. I keep cooking wine in the fridge and I’m completely fine with the flavor for last minute meals. I throw it in gravy, risotto, and just put it in a dish to use up leftovers with shrimp, chicken, mushrooms, spinach and pine nuts over pasta and it was delicious.
When I make something special that uses a lot of wine I bother buying a bottle, but then what do I do with the rest? Neither my husband nor I drink wine. I try to make one more wine dish within the next week, but it doesn’t get used up.
Can I freeze wine to keep it good? I assume it doesn’t freeze solid, but that doesn’t matter. Does wine stay good longer than people say?
What if I transfer it to a twist top bottle or jar that’s well sealed and keep it in the fridge, can I keep it for a month?
