If you don't want to have a glass of red with your meal but do enjoy wine, consider [cooking with Marche Noir's wine pasta](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-cooking-wines). Milled from the dried skins of cabernet grapes leftover from the wine-making process, the wine pasta is made using wine flour, which gives the [rotini, penne and fettucini](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fermentelli-pasta) its unique, dark colour.

Wine pasta isn't the only thing you can make from Marche Noir's wine flour. It is also suitable for almost any sort of baking -- everything from [cupcakes to pizza](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dominos-red-blend). Chef Rachel Marie Klemek encourages us to "Eat Your Wine," a command we'll gladly follow.
