There are several unusual but practical uses for wine beyond drinking it. Here are a few examples:

1. Stain Remover - The acidity in wine can help break down stains on clothing or fabric. Simply pour some wine on the stain, let it sit for a few minutes, and then wash the item as you normally would.

2. Fruit and Vegetable Wash - Wine can also be used to clean fruits and vegetables. Soak the produce in a mixture of water and wine for a few minutes to remove dirt and bacteria.

3. Marinade - Wine can be used as a flavorful marinade for meat, fish, or vegetables. The acid in the wine helps tenderize the food and infuse it with flavor.

4. Antiseptic - The alcohol in wine can be used as an antiseptic to clean wounds or cuts. Simply pour some wine on the affected area and let it sit for a few minutes before cleaning with soap and water.

5. Furniture Polish - Red wine can be used as a natural furniture polish. Dip a cloth in the wine and rub it onto wooden furniture to restore its shine and color.

6. Vinegar - Wine that has turned to vinegar can be used in cooking and as a natural cleaning agent. It can be used to clean surfaces, deodorize, and even remove rust.
