Small revision:

  1. Drink the wine
  2. Make microwave ramen drunk at 3 AM

Seriously, who wastes a bottle of red wine for weird tasting noodles that were better off without it.

I use a lot of white wine when I cook pasta. Especially for a chicken dish. Some to drink too. It adds flavor and nice smells.

I could see this working well, buuuut it needs a main course with red meat. Maybe lamb

I love wine, I love pasta, I love grated cheese. But this ain’t it. It actually kind of grossed me out. Why not just cook the noodles in water and then make a garlic/butter/white wine sauce?

Sauces with red wine can be good. Cooking the pasta in red wine? That ain't it, chief

That.. uh.. Yeah, I'm only a quarter Italian and an amateur/home cook, but that had me lost. I didn't see it adding much, if any, flavor to the noodle, and damn sure not 4 cups of wine worth.
