What do you do when you open a bottle of wine and the wine isn’t bad (as in corked), yet not so good you actually want to sip it?
White — Make Wine Spritzers!
This works really well with any type of wine. The cheaper, the better!
It’s simple: In a wine glass, combine white wine, ice, club soda, and a twist of lemon or lime.
Red — Make Sangria!
Sangria is delicious, but who wants to spend money on good tasting wine for this drink? The fruity flavors will quickly overpower the wine, so keep it cheap!
It’s simple: In a wine glass, combine red wine, ice, a splash of orange juice, club soda or sprite, and citrus slices such as orange or lime. Feel free to add other berries or apples.
Hey, even crappy wine deserves a good home!
