After holidays or meetings with friends, you may find some leftover wine at home.
Some people simply pour out the drink, but this is not the case: it can be used in the kitchen with maximum benefit.
However, it is worth remembering that opened wine must be stored properly to prevent it from spoiling.
What tricks are worth knowing?

Rarely does a housewife use wine as an ingredient for an exquisite sauce, since she doesn’t want to buy a whole bottle of the drink just to use 20 ml of the component.
Therefore, it is very relevant to use the wine left over from the holiday. Prepare the pasta and start working on the sauce.
You can use onions, tomato paste, other vegetables and greens for it. At the final stage, pour in some wine and wait until the drink evaporates completely.
Your pasta will turn out so delicious and sophisticated, as if it was prepared by a professional chef.

However, it can be easily prepared at home if you have some wine left over.
You will need to pour the wine into a glass jar, add a couple of spoons of regular vinegar and cover the container with gauze, as we need an influx of fresh air.
In a month, high-quality wine vinegar will be ready.
