How to stop your wine going to waste...
Worried about good wine going to waste? How can you store your wine to ensure it goes to use?
Wine usually lasts up to one week in your fridge if stored correctly.
But there is a much better way to keep your wine for longer… Freeze it!
Pour your remaining wine into ice cubes trays and place it in the freezer - this step is crucial as the expansion of the liquid can cause the bottle to break or the cork to pop out!

How long does wine last in your fridge? Up to one week. But what if you know you're not going to be home for the next few days and therefore potentially your wine is going to go off? Top tip, freeze your wine including white wine. I have an oyster based Sauvignon Blanc here. I'm going to pour it into these ice cube trays. I'm going to freeze the wine. So when I know that I'm making fish for dinner and I need a sauce, then I can perfectly pop out some of these ice cubes. If I know that I have got a stew or a curry, I have white wine ready to be used.

You then have easy-to-use pre-portioned quantities of wine to cook with, so if you are making stew (or any sauce base), just pop out a cube! How handy?
Frozen wine can also be used for cocktails or slushies, such as a Wine Granita or a Frosé! Great summer time go-to’s for dinner parties or BBQ ideas to impress your friends.
