4 Things To Do With Your Leftover Wine
We all have times when the wine bottle is not quite empty. Here are a few simple things you can do with your leftover wine that won’t cost you a penny and will give you something valuable in return. None of these involve products that gas or vacuum 
1. Pour the wine into a smaller, clean container, thus minimizing airspace in the container. I use a clean 375 ml bottle or even a jam jar at times. Cork or cap the container. If the room is hotter than 65 degrees, it will help to place the smaller container in the refrigerator. Doing this is natural and keeps wine more fresh than any gadget or science project will do.
2. Pour a glass of yesterday’s wine right along side of whatever wine you are opening tonite at dinner: Having 2 or 3 different wines to taste against the same food is one of the best ways to improve your food / wine pairing sensibility.
3. Mix leftover wine with water to drink with an informal lunch or light dinner. Believe me - it is one of the most thirst quenching, satisfying drinks on the planet.
4. Improve your tasting skills by re-tasting the leftover wine a day later. You’ll be surprised at what you will learn about the wine and how it evolves.
Good wine will still be drinking well the next day, sometimes better than the first day. If a wine totally falls apart overnight, make a note to never buy it again.
