I have a bottle of this in my pantry and I don't know what to do with it. Any ideas would be appreciated thanks. I know I could drink it but I am not a wine drinker so want to use it in other ways.

I used to love it at this time of the year as a dash (or two) in rum topped up with your favourite mix.

Great for stomach upsets. Add a little with boiled water and sip.
You'll find recipes there in the following categories:- Starters (including a tomato soup), Main Courses, Dressings, Desserts, "Extras" e.g. Ginger Marmalade.
Hope that helps. :-))

Punch. Trifle instead of sherry. Poach pears in it.

This - very warming especially with a nip of whiskey added.
Could use it for any recipe that uses fortified wine/sherry - that biscuit and cream log thing from the 70s would be good. Use it to soak a fruit cake.

I have a cold at the moment - and hot drinks with fresh squeezed lemon juice, raw honey, hot water and green ginger wine are fabulous - I put a wee dram of whiskey in my husbands too, but I like it without . almost worth getting a cold for !

I've made the ginger vinaigrette from the Stone's Green Ginger Wine website noted above in 245sam's post. It's lovely; fresh and lively.

sarahb5, apart from enjoying it as an occasional drink that's one of the uses we have for ginger wine - it's lovely when used with gingernuts as the biscuit for the log. :-))

Its great in a sauce for pork fillet. sautee some flattened pork fillet which has been marinated in a small amount and then add some more to make a serving sauce. delicious.

Thanks so much everyone! Will try a lot of these ideas! Looks like there will always be a bottle of the stuff in my pantry now! Especially after looking at the suggested site! Great!
