We love a good vino, but sometimes we forget that wine is not just good for drinking or throwing into the bolognaise sauce. Here are a few somewhat unexpected things to do with red wine, courtesy of some of our favourite food blogs.

1. Blackberry Red Wine Icecream
Here’s one recipe to put on the to do list before the summer is over. We love the sound of red wine in ice cream, with blackberries for sweetness, plus cinnamon and peppercorns for a subtle spicy kick.

2. Red Wine Lollipops
We’ve missed the boat on Valentine’s Day for this year, but these grown up Red Wine Lollipops are the perfect mix of nostalgia, fun and sophistication.

3. Mulled Wine Hot Chocolate
Our two favourite winter drinks in one! With words like heady, ambrosial, fragrant, spicy and lets not forget ‘amazeballs’ to describe this drink, we don’t want to wait til the weather cools down to make up a batch.
