It happens that the wine that promised so much does not reveal itself to the height ofexpectation and therefore not terminated. Or that the bottle when the friends arrived at home, it was half full. What to do? Surely not throw it: wine (even the advanced one) can be used in different ways, often surprising. Like these five, which range from kitchen to the cleaning and even to the beauty (why not?).

Sanitize fruits and vegetables
THE'alcohol present in wine dissolves surface impurities and performs an action bactericide: so it's a disinfectant natural perfect for fruit and vegetables. And it is also strong, since, according to a study by the Oregon State University, manages to neutralize even the fearsome salmonella is Escherichia coli. How to do it, then? That's enough spray a little wine over fruit and vegetable and rinse it carefully after a few moments.

Clean up home
The alcohol in the wine can remove stains and effectively sanitize the surfaces of the kitchen. Ergo, the wine may represent a substitute foremergency of household detergents. The important thing is to use only wines whites dried because they do not leave stains or residues sticky, and be careful in cleaning delicate materials, such as the marble, because the acids present in the wine could result, in the long run, too much aggressive. The wine can also be used to clean the glass. Just stretch a little wine with water from the tap and pour it into one sprinkler, clean. After splashing it on glass it goes to dry with newsprint. Finally, white wine is also effective for removing the stains of oil and fat that form on the floor of the garage. Seeing is believing!

Make yourself a mask of anti-aging beauty
Off and colorful skin Grey? It happens, yes that happens, especially in winter. In this case the wine is an excellent (and natural) remedy. In fact all those antioxidants what a gift to wine red its beautiful ruby color can complete theirs benefits anti-age even when they are applied directly on the skin. Here is a trick stolen from the "Vinotherapy": he takes some red wine, he soaks up a cotton pad and loins it patters on the skin of wine. It will act immediately like a fantastic toner, giving one lashing of energy to the skin and helping to smooth and refine it. If the goal is to soften and illuminate the skin of the face you can try the mask home-made made by mixing two tablespoons of yogurt white with two tablespoons of wine, spreading it on the wine and leaving it in place for ten minutes before risciaquarla with warm water.

Marinate the meat
Braised, roasted, coq-au-vin: the recipes obtained after leaving the meat to macerate in wine they are great classics of European cuisine. But marinating, in reality, should be used more often because it not only makes meat (and even fish) more tasty and more tender, but even more to greet. For example, marinate the meat in the wine before making a barbecue (even better with the addition of herbs, spices and extra virgin olive oil) helps to neutralize the substances carcinogenic which are released during cooking grid, reaching up to 90%. How to do? The duration of the marinating varies depending on the type of meat: that red should be left to soak in wine for 4 – 6 hours before cooking, while for the pig and the chicken they are enough for you 2 to 4 hours. The times are even more rapid for the fishbecause they vary from 30 minutes at 2 hours.

Eliminate the flies
The advanced wine is literally undrinkable? Give him one last chance before throwing it: go to meal at flies is gnats. Or better, use it like moschicida. Just take a container, small but large (like an empty yogurt jar), fill it up half of red wine, cover of the film transparent for the kitchen and pierce it creating small holes with a toothpick. In this way flies and midges will come attracted from the aroma of wine and will remain trapped in the liquid.
