Red or white? Ever wonder what you can do with your leftover wine (on the rare chance that you have any)? You should never let good wine go to waste!

First thing’s first, let us answer a question most would ask: can the kids enjoy these delicious recipes too? Put those from-the-box chicken fingers away because your kids are in for a treat. Did you know that you can never be too young to enjoy food cooked with wine? When you cook an alcoholic beverage at a high temperature for long enough, the alcohol evaporates, but the flavour doesn’t!

From the bottle to your stove, wine makes life so deliciously worth living. We’re opening up all the possibilities with these recipes. From the ultimate Garlic Toast Meatball Patty Melt that would make your nonna so proud, to the unbelievably easy-to-make Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps. Suddenly, you’ll find yourself saving wine; no complaints here!
