Works great. I do the same with beef stock. Make your favorite stock. Reduce
down to 1/12th original amount. Pour into ice cube tray, and freeze. Add a
cube or two to chili, stew, or other favorite recipes at a later date. But
whichever you freeze (leftover wine or stock), just be sure to put the ice
cube tray into a freezer-proof Zip-Lock bag, and they'll be good for for at
least a couple of months.
