While we rave about how much we love wine, we often jump from bottle to bottle to try the newest flavors. Not only that but we can go through phases where we are crazy about red wine, then white, and don’t forget about that summer sipping rosé! Some half drunk bottles of wine can get forgotten about in the mix, and we often don’t know what to do with them. Here are some recipes that require you to use up your leftover wine in the most constructive way possible!
