15 Most Pinned Recipes That Include Wine

Wine is right up there in my top three beverages of choice. If my day was rough, I sometimes reach for the wine instead of the water. There are some recipes out there that just come out way better with a little wine added. Occasionally I’ll open a bottle of wine that I’m not really in love with. That’s when these recipes come in handy. Cooking with wine is the perfect way to kill a leftover bottle that you’re not obsessed with drinking.

To be sure you get your proper intake of grapes (wink, wink), here are fifteen recipes that include wine and are easy to make: cakes, smoothies, chicken, and fruit. Check them out in the slideshow.
