What can I cook with leftover red wine?

You can braise a pork tenderloin with some mushrooms, onions, wine, consomme. Or you can use it for some marinara. You can boil some spaghetti noodles in it like Rachel Ray on Iron Chef. You can reduce it and make a reduction or glaze, maybe add some sugar and balsamic a little shallots minced and reduce it. You can keep it in the fridge to use for meats or sauces. It will keep for awhile.
 
Red wine adds a nice flavor to almost any beef recipe. I use it in the sauce for Rocky Mountain Beef Short Ribs as well. Just add the red wine instead of half the beef broth or water to a pot roast or stew. Use the wine when sauteing mushrooms. Use it to make your own salad dressings (think vinaigrette's). Or add it into spaghetti sauce or chili. Or make a beef vegetable soup and use it for part of the stock/broth.
 
I have this bottle of red wine that's been opened for over a week. I don't want to drink it, but I don't wnt to toss it out. Is there anything easy that I can cook that needs red wine?
It's a merlot.
 
My mom just made a delicious beef stew the other day that had red wine in it. You can also freeze your wine in a freezer bag if you can't decide on something to cook now.
