A friend proudly presented me with a ‘special bottle’ of wine as a thank you a couple of weeks ago. It wasn’t a pleasant wine.
Tonight I’ve made a vegetable gratin using the wine for the sauce and it tastes good!

A good rioja or a new world Merlot always goes down a treat  . "
I’m definitely not sharing a bottle with you then! |

You mean to say you won’t be sharing if I splash out on a decent new world wine?
You’re a hard woman to please... |

"Was Ice Wine, perhaps too sweet for my taste and not corked.
Mixed in with veg OXO, bay leaves, lemon juice and cooking cream made a pretty decent sauce.
Yes a definite win win "
Oh yes, I can see why. It’s way too sweet for my palate also. |

Any decent wine poured into a cooking pot is a decent wine wasted in my book. |

Ask a decent chef and they will disagree. Never use shit wine in good food. |

A decent red thrown into the pot and evaporated away is a crying shame in my book.
Then again, I guess I’m fruity enough already not to need it... |

It's the alcohol and water that evaporates, philistine!  |

Alcohol boils at 80ish degrees, does it not? So it boils off long before the water content.
That’s a crying shame for any decent wine... I’d far rather drink it, so as to enjoy it as it was intended . |

I just do both. I like to enjoy my food as much as my wine. If the wine enhances it then good. |

Couldn't agree more, a good dish is only as good as the ingredients you put in. |
