 ;D That's why they raffled them!!
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

My FIL makes his own red wine (he's Croatian). Now I have never been able to drink it, but something good happens when you add it to red meat based dishes.

PAP only his mates can drink his stuff. He thinks its very good, but I only take a flagon cos I use it in dishes. Believe it or not, I've even used it in Mediterranean dishes when they've asked for white wine and its worked well.

hmmmm never though about swapping wines in dishes.

how long can you keep wines that come in a cask or the ole goonie bags for after you have taken a glass out of it ?

Found this on the net phat

Q. How long does a boxed wine stay fresh?
A. Depending on your storage conditions, an opened wine cask will keep the wine fresh for six to eight weeks. Some wine drinkers have said a wine box will last longer given their experience, especially in a refrigerator.

Wineries mark each wine cask with either a “boxed on” date or a suggested “use before” freshness date for your reference. Scholle and wineries recommend that you enjoy a wine cask within a year from the date it was packed on if you note a “boxed on” date, and always before a “use before” date.
