Can anyone think of anything to do with a gift bottle of rose wine besides using it for drain cleaner?

I hate to just pour it down the drain but after all, who would drink it?

Try this recipe for Sangria...

? gallon rose or burgundy

1 quart of orange juice

1 quart of apple juice

1 large can of frozen lemonade concentrate

1 small can of frozen limeade concentrate

? quart (2 c.) ginger ale or club soda



Mix all. Chill well. Add ginger ale or club soda just before serving.



If you have a 1 liter bottle of rose cut other ingredient amounts in half...
Reply:Actually there are supposed to be some quite good roses now. I'm serious. The New York Times food section has had at least two articles recently regarding this -- in other words according to them, rose is a hot trend. I'm serious, go to www.nytimes.com and search the archives for "rose" and "wine" within about the past 6 months. So since some people will regard rose as a fashionable drink they might want to try, you can wait till you have a party, and put the rose bottle on the bar so people - especially those who may have seen wine columns about newly fashionable rose - will have a third option besides just white and red.



Otherwise, you could use it to cook some sort of South of France type dish - rose being a thing from the South of France. I'm thinking some sort of poulet au vin involving, like, rosemary and garlic and maybe some onions and potatoes. Something where you might ordinarily use white wine.
Reply:CHUG IT!
Reply:What does it taste like? How much alcohol is in it? Just drink it down.. go for the quick buzzzzz.
Reply:use it as a decorative wine?! lol i dunno!
Reply:Use it in cooking, like sherry - saute chicken in it. infuse it with herbs, mix it with oil and make an oil and vinegar dressing out of it.
Reply:Use it in your cooking. Roast Beef, Roast Pork, etc....
Reply:Re-gift it. Not everyone hates Rose wine.



Use it in recipies that call for wine but don't need fancy wine.
Reply:Save it, then regift it to the person that gifted it to you.
Reply:wrap it up and give it to somebody else. Then you could make up a trace website and see how many people really won't drink it
Reply:I think that using it for cooking or giving it as a gift to someone else who might appreciate it are good ideas.



I have to add - I think your overall attitude is very poor. Rose' is not a horrible wine and it was a gift (which took thought).



To be honest I feel sorry for whoever gave it to you. I don't think you a very nice friend, let alone person. I have been given many gifts that were not necessarily to my taste, but I have always shown appreciate - not scorn.
