Default Storing Wine for Cooking?

You can use dry vermouth or dry sherry in many recipes that call for
white wine. Either of those keeps for months and month in your
cupboard. Let your taste be your guide.

Many recipes that call for red wine want a whole bottle or at least a
half a bottle so you're not wasting much even if it goes sour on you.
Perfectly drinkable red wines that you can cook with can be had for
just a few bucks.

I think you ought to make some wine-drinking friends and invite them
over to finish off the bottle. Do you live around here? -aem
