Even really really really really Reeeally good borebone?
Have you ever tried Pappy van Winkle?
I'm quite content just sitting and smelling that stuff.

Alas, yes. It can start out wonderful - and then that added unpleasantness arrives.
Amongst the few social groups I inhabit, really really good borbone is popular. I tried a bunch.
Caveat: I did have one, within the last year or so, that didn't go evil - but I don't recall it's name. And honestly, few amongst the best can stand up even compared to Linsmore[^].

The Bad News (for you):
Whiskey and whisky, for reasons which I neither know nor care about, make me ridiculously bad-tempered -- if you want to see me angry, give me a few Glenfiddichs or Grouses (which, I should note, would make me extremely happy until after I had seen them off).
The Good News (for me):
There are alternatives.

I'm quite glad I didn't get that one - I'd never have thought of "western" as "backward" ...

Four hours after you posted the question, so 13:00 GMT is pretty close.
I haven't got a clue. Other than the one you gave us, obviously ... but that hasn't helped if I'm honest.

Depends what the wine is for, and where I am. In a decent restaurant, I might buy a bottle for 15 euro (and immediately regret it due to taste). When making lasagna or stew I'l be adding the cheapest stuff I can find.
One of the bottles of white whine has been opened four months ago; added it to the vinegar bottle. Don't think anyone will drink that in half an hour

Red and white wine in bottles that aren't finished: pack'em in 100ml portions (I use a vacuum sealer) and stuff 'em in the freezer (they won't freeze solid as the alcohol lowers the freezing point to much lower than a normal freezer: ethanol freezes at -117C so you'll get a slush, not a cube).
Then for lasagna or stew (or chilli) grab a bag and stick it in. You get a "better quality" cooking wine which does improve the taste of the food and it doesn't turn to vinegar.

I like white wine vinegar, it has a lot more taste than regular vinegar. Going to give your suggestion a try with some red

Your mention of freezing wine triggered a deja vu moment: Back when I was a young lad living in Alaska, my friends and I would go on snowmobile or cross country ski trips for a weekend. We found that if you bought something cheap (like Boone's Farm) you could pour it in a pan, leave it out over night, then pour off the flavored alcohol and get a pretty good hangover. Practical application of cold distillation
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

If you're told to better not drink it, it may be better to not eat it as well.

It is not about wine - it is about alcohol... After cooking it, the taste is the only thing left, so no problem there...
