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.

I can not drink wine (doctor says so)... But for cooking a use the best I can and it is mostly over 100 NIS (which is over £20)...

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...

For beer you can go to the alcohol-free version, but never heard of alcohol free wine.

Does the low price means low quality? Have you ever tasted it?

I've not tasted it, but the low price probably reflects the low tax: about £2 of the cost of a £5 bottle of wine in the UK is alcohol tax, which makes them very comparable.

I just read about the process of making it, and it seems that the taste should be preserved - I may look for it...

That depends on how you cook it, and how long you cook it for:

I use it with meat and it is over 3 hours, and with chicken in the oven which is over 2 hours, but high temperature...
And I do not eat either...

You obviously have the wrong doctor.
Mine specifically wants me to have one (or two) alcoholic beverages a day (to raise my HDL) - which is more than I can handle . . . it's the thought that counts.
So just switch and everything will be fine.
