I love cooking with wine… and sometimes I add some to my cooking too. Cooking with alcohol, especially wine, can release elements in food that would otherwise not come out, specifically tomatoes and meats.
If you have a little bit of wine left over in a bottle but cannot finish it, instead of letting it spoil on your counter, you can pour it into an ice cube tray and freeze it.
This way you are not wasting that last drop and you are keeping the wine fresh for future cooking. Or have a hand at making some ancient wine? Try making mead.

As far back as he can remember Jack Reichert has been interested in the environment. In the second grade, he rallied all of his classmates to donate one recess a week to cleaning up litter from the schoolyard. That was the same year that a city councilman asked him to help with his campaign because of the letter Jack had written asking him to clean up Boston Harbor. Ever since Jack has followed the development of the international green conscience with anticipation and hope that one day we will treat Mother Earth with the respect she deserves and not turn her into another Giving Tree.
