AlbieQuirky posted:Wine oxidizes within 48 hours. Even if you refrigerate it (which is gross with red wine anyway). Get a hand vacuum pump and rubber stopper, Vacu Vin and various home stores do them. You stop up the bottle and pump out all the air and it won't oxidise. It's not a life hack though, it's just a product for that purpose.

Isn't "I have a headache" just a gentle way of saying "not right now" or "no"? People don't usually literally mean it as "the only thing stopping us from having sex is my headache".

That's why busting out facts about endorphines is a creepy way of saying "I don't care if you don't want to and I'm prepared to verbally pressure you into it."

Wandle Cax posted:Have you genuinely not heard of the concept of a cooking wine? Or even the fact that recipes need a specific type of wine you may not care to drink that evening? Why would you drink the wine you have been cooking with? Also the very idea that you would just pour whatever wine you were drinking into whatever you happen to be cooking is laughable. Maybe you should "fix your poo poo" or whatever? i don't know I give up What on earth are you on about? What are these ultra specific types of wine you just need to use for cooking? If a recipe calls for wine (red or white), or if there's something I think would be good with a little wine, I buy the wine with the intention of drinking it, add a little to the cooking and drink the rest with the meal. It's not laughable, that's what most people do. Do you really think that specific types of wine make a difference in cooking? As long you've got the right colour wine, you're really not going to notice the difference, so just buy what you want to drink and use that. Do you measure out your cooking wine to ridiculously precise levels too? I'm actually genuinely quite curious as I've never seen this perspective that you absolutely have to follow the recipe when it comes to what wine you should be using.. And yes, if you want your wine to stop going bad, as someone else already mentioned, vacuum pumps are your friend. A bottle will easily last a week or more if you pump the air out.

I don't where you all live, but here you can buy cheap wine for about $5 a bottle. Being tight arsed about $2 worth of left over wine is not something I bother with.

londonmoose posted:Do you really think that specific types of wine make a difference in cooking? They can, depending on what you're making. You can end up with radically different tasting sauces depending on the wine. Not all recipes are specific beyond telling you red or white, but some are.

Those Vacu Vin pump things don't work, the vacuum doesn't hold for very long. Just let the wine breath enough to taste great then put the cork back in. It will keep for a day or two if not too warm. Or just drink it with friends if you can't manage a whole bottle (what do you mean you haven't got any friends?).

Yeah, let's just be really clear here: cooking wine is bullshit, no real place will use it, and no real cook will either. Just use a red or white that you'd drink. Cooking wine exists but it's terrible and you shouldn't use it. The target market for cooking wine is literally 'people who don't know any better and see a recipe needs wine'.

Cooking wine is cheap, bad batch, runoff wine that's mixed with food coloring and salt. Fun fact: the reason it's mixed with salt (in addition as a preservative) is so when Li'l Johnny raids the hooch, he's more likely to get dry mouth and a headache before he gets drunk. Literally any other wine (including Thunder Bird, Mad Dog, a child's juice box that was left out on the counter) is better to use than cooking wine. Wandle Cax, consider picking up an inexpensive port or sherry to cook with as the higher alcohol content in those wines helps them last longer. And invest in a reusable stopper. e: PYF Really Stupid "Wine" Facts Big Grunty Secret has a new favorite as of 18:44 on Aug 15, 2014 |

He's saying that "cooking wine" isn't a variety of drinking wine like Merlot or Pinot Noir, since Wandle doesn't seem to understand you can cook with and also drink from the same bottle.

Tiggum posted:I feel like this is maybe a location-specific thing, because here in Australia you can buy perfectly good wine for $5 or less for a bottle, but I guess in some places cheap wine isn't a thing? Nobody would buy "cooking wine" here because every supermarket has cheap wine you can buy to drink, and there's no "wine that's too poo poo to drink that you can buy under-aged" because that's ridiculous.  No, it's a thing in America too.
