+--- Thread: cooking wine: storing (/thread-17218.html)
- maggieg58 - 01-13-2002
I just bought one bottle each of white and red wine, to use for cooking. Not "cooking wine," mind you, but real, decent wine.
How do I store it? Is it safe to keep in my pantry with the cork stuck in it once opened? Should it be refrigerated? I'd like to be able to add a splash of wine to a dish as I'm cooking it, and might not have a "drinking bottle" opened and available.
Any help?

If you bought regular white and red wines you will have to store them properly or they will be pretty bad in a week or two. Check out back issues of this board for storage conversations.
I find that it is more interesting to cook with sherry or Madeira--more flavor in those wines for sauces and you have a better chance at storing them for long periods of time.
