"Hands up, who is dry Januarying? While it's not something I do explicitly, I do like to cut back a bit at the beginning of the year. The marathon that is Christmas socialising can be fun but relentless, and I imagine there are many others in the same boat. When it comes to wine, at least, the problem with cutting back is what to do with the rest of the bottle."
"Sure, I'll have a glass or two if I fancy it one evening, but it's pretty much a wasted bottle if you don't finish the rest within a few days. Fear not I have a plethora of recipes that will ensure you never need to waste a drop enjoy a glass or two, then use the rest in the dish of your choice. Winner, winner, chicken Marbella dinner (one of my all-time effortless favourites scroll the link for the recipe)."
Cutting back after holiday socialising often leaves leftover wine that risks being wasted. Leftover wine can be used in savoury and sweet recipes so a partial bottle can be repurposed rather than discarded. Recommended savoury dishes include chicken Marbella, braised short ribs served with oozy buttery polenta, Tom Hunt's meat stew, and classic Italian chicken cacciatore that works well with white wine. Rosé can be enjoyed year-round and can substitute for white wine in dishes such as prawns with garlic and chilli. Dessert ideas include spiced pears poached in red wine with dark chocolate. There are also vegetarian preparations that incorporate wine into sauces and stews.
