Despite it though, I tend to use some wine in alot of our dinners. A little goes a long way. Definitely adds huge flavour to stews, casseroles, risotto, gravy, italian meat sauces, fish dishes and more. It would be nice to use a more "tailored" wine when cooking these rather than whichever leftover and possibly "past its best" wine is to hand.

Biggest problem with any "cooking" wines will always be the duty in Ireland, which you're going to pay whether you're using the wine for drinking, cooking or watering the flower beds. Makes adding any wine to a recipe expensive but what's the alternative? These look great!
