I've got a half-full wine box of white wine that's started to go a bit stale (not totally off, but not very tasty). What can I do with it?

Don't cook with it if you are not prepared to drink it.

Or as liquid in a sauce-I can't see how this wine could be worse than the wine that is sold, in the States at least, as "cooking wine". It's absolutely wretched!

Or marinade-the determining factor for me-whether to compost or cook it-would be would I drink it or not?

Compost?

Pour it down the sink or on the garden, though might not do wonders for the flowers.

I would def refrigerate and/or freeze. Here's the thing about wine-you can drink cheap wine from great glasses or great wine in cheap glasses but never have both-cheap wine in cheap glasses. I'd say something similar applies to cooking with wine as well.

Thanks for the ideas. And in my defence, it's a box not a bottle, and I'm TTC grin.
