4 ways to use leftover wine

Are you wondering what to do with that bottle of wine you didn’t finish? Here are a few ideas.

1.Sauce. Add a splash of red wine to spaghetti sauce or try your hand at making coq au vin. Use leftover white wine to steam mussels or as an addition to alfredo sauce.

2. Soups and stews. White wine packs flavour into creamy soups like clam chowder or cream of mushroom. Red wine adds a nice touch to minestrone and other tomato-based stews.

3. Poached fruit. Cook peaches or pears with your choice of spices in either red or white wine. Simmer for about ten minutes, let cool and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

4. Wine cocktails. Use red or white wine to make sangria or another wine-based cocktail. You’ll find countless recipes online.

If you won’t use your leftover wine within a few days, freeze it in an ice cube tray and then transfer the cubes to a plastic bag. This way you’ll always have some on hand to throw into a recipe when you need it.

Common grape varietals grown in North America

Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay are among the most planted grapes in North America and the world. However, there are many other varietals that are cultivated here that make fantastic wines. Here are some common ones that thrive on our diverse soil.

WHITES

• Pinot Gris. The wines produced by this grape tend to be medium bodied with a hint of sweetness and balanced acidity. Flavours of apple, pear and stone fruit are common. Hints of spice are also typical.

• Sauvignon Blanc. This green-skinned varietal tends to produce wines that are light-bodied, dry, herbaceous and acidic. Aromas of green apple, grass, bell pepper, gooseberry, lime and peach are all common.

•Riesling. Wines made from this varietal have high acidity, are generally light-bodied and can be either dry or off-dry. Rieslings are intensely aromatic, with

notes of apricot, citrus, honey, jasmine and petrol being typical.

REDS

•Pinot Noir. This black-skinned varietal tends to produce wines that are light to medium bodied and have higher acidity and less tannin than other reds. Aromas of cherry, strawberry, raspberry, truffles, leather and vanilla are common.

•Merlot. Supple tannins, moderate acidity and earthy flavours are typical of Merlot. These wines tend to be medium bodied and have aromas of black cherry, plum, tobacco leaf, allspice and chocolate.

•Syrah. Also known as Shiraz, this varietal produces wines that are full-bodied and packed with juicy fruit and earthy complexity. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, cassis, olive and licorice are common, as is front-loaded flavour with a peppery finish.

These are just a fraction of the varietals can wine producers are growing. Learn siting your local winery or wine store.
