Except for an occasional margarita or mojito (like once every three of
four months) I can't drink alcohol. I keep a bottle of Xtian Bros dry
sherry in my fridge for cooking (won't use "cooking wine" ).

I use sherry for pretty much anything that calls for wine for
deglazing. I would never use it for any dish which specifically calls
for a particular wine ( Chicken Marsala, Boeuf Bourguinonne etc.) If
I'm going to make something like that, I try to buy a "split" so I
won't have so much left over. Anybody got a better solution?
Freezing wine "cubes"???

Don't laugh - you too may be all alone with no one to cook for and a
kitchen the size of a postage stamp.
