How to Make Use of Bad Tasting Wine

So my honey brought home this big jug of wine.  I will leave the companies name out. (giggling)

Anthony informed me that the wine was on sale and so he grabbed it. He didn't know how it would taste. I shook my head and just knew this jug of wine wasn't going to taste good. He told me if I liked it, he will buy a few more jugs so I could stock up on wine and keep my wine decanters filled.

I poured the first glass, swished the stuff around, took a whiff, then a swallow and practically spat it out. It was probably on that list of worse wines. It tasted like I had a mouthful of vinegar!

So Anthony and I, sat together, and  had a brief discussion on how to make use of bad tasting wine.

And I wanted to share with you what bad tasting wine could be good for.

• Bad tasting wine could be turned into top notch sangrias. I will post a recipe of my sangrias in the near future.
• Bad tasting wine could be enhanced with a lot of fruit such as apples, melons, cherries and strawberries,  to name a few.

• Bad tasting wine can be paired with a cigar. If I am drinking a really good merlot, I enjoy it better with a meal or simply by itself. But if the merlot is from a bad batch, the cigar will alleviate some of the vinegary taste.
• Bad tasting wine is terrific for cooking or great to dash in homemade vinaigrettes.
• Bad tasting wine could be mixed with a better wine. The better wine should have at least 3/ 4 parts so the bad tasting wine does not dominate the taste. 
• Or you can simply toss out the bad tasting wine if it is too much trouble. It's up to you!

So I am sitting here with a glass of bad tasting wine and a great cigar from the DR.

Cheers!
