Beaujolais is pretty much good during the fall season when they are bottled. posted by JJ86 at 4:30 PM on November 3
I'm not sure I'd call it drinkable in late 2007. You might want to use it to make vinegar rather than cook with it... posted by foodgeek at 4:48 PM on November 3
Don't deglaze cast iron - it'll taste bad. posted by Dmenet at 4:52 PM on November 3
drinkable still? Or should I use it to deglaze a pan?
This is a false dichotomy, not least of which is because if a wine's not good for drinking, it's not good for making a pan sauce. Makevinegarinstead. posted by dersins at 4:53 PM on November 3
Eh, I bet you could mix up something cold and fruity and sangria-like with it that would be pretty refreshing. posted by neroli at 4:57 PM on November 3
do not drink it...
I wouldn't even cook with it... posted by HuronBob at 5:14 PM on November 3
Use it to deglaze your garbage can.

"Don't cook with wine you wouldn't drink" is the common adage, and with good reason. posted by DevilsAdvocate at 6:50 PM on November 3
Everybody's being too fussy. Yeah, it's not gonna be good--but, as pointed out, Beaujolais Nouveau isn't that good to begin with. But it's not gonna be, like poisonously rancid. I wouldn't drink it with dinner...and I probably wouldn't cook with it...but really, pour a big glass, mixed half-and-half with 7-up, over ice and drink it while you're cooking. If you were in Spain, and someone called it tinto de verano, you'd think it was great. posted by neroli at 7:06 PM on November 3 [2 favorites]
