Stale wine gains new life with these techniques:

**Homemade Wine Vinegar**:

1. **Inoculation**: Combine 2 cups leftover wine (red or white) with ½ cup raw, unfiltered vinegar (contains “mother” culture).

2. **Fermentation**: Pour into a sterilized jar, cover with cheesecloth, and store in a dark, warm (70-80°F) place. Stir weekly for 2-3 months.

3. **Straining**: Once tartness is achieved, strain through coffee filters and bottle.

**Cooking Stock Cubes**:

- Freeze wine in ice cube trays. Use to:

- **Deglaze Pans**: Lift fond for sauces.

- **Braises**: Add depth to beef stew or coq au vin.

- **Marinades**: Tenderize meats with acidic wine.

**Recipe Ideas**:

- **Balsamic-Wine Reduction**: Simmer 1 cup red wine with ¼ cup balsamic vinegar and 1 tbsp honey.

- **White Wine Butter Sauce**: Melt 2 wine cubes with shallots, cream, and tarragon for seafood.

**Safety Note**: Discard wine with mold or off odors. Always use clean equipment to prevent contamination.
