My wine tips:
(1) Buy boxed wine, the spout is on the bottom so it doesn’t oxidize, you can open a box and have a glass every night for a couple of weeks and the wine won’t go bad. Trader Joes has a couple of good boxed wines.
(2) Got low-quality (cheap) red wine? Make kalimotxo. I prefer pepsi max, do not experiment with dr pepper.

My friend calls that ‘survival wine’. When I asked him why, he just raised the bag that he’d been suckling on over his head, dropped it on the floor, and said, ‘Disaster-proof’.

Got cheap wine and want to improve the flavor? Add a splash of brandy, some fruit juice, and either sliced or frozen fruit. Ta dah, sangria.
My parents’ wine of choice growing up was cheap jug wine from the supermarket, so I don’t exactly have refined tastes in the stuff.
