I used to get this dressing at Wally World (a.k.a. Wal-Mart). It was always available. When I started noticing that the dressing was only there "sometimes", I would buy all of the bottles of it--partly because I was afraid they were going to quit stocking it, and partly because I wanted Wally to see that this stuff is profitable for them to stock.

No matter. It's gone, for good. It has a terrific, tangy flavor without having too strong a bite. It was hard to keep around this house. Now I can't even get it to bring to the house.

I am going to hold my breath and order it online, and just hope that what has happened to others (wrong dressing, way past expiration, etc.) won't happen to me. If it's close to the expiration date, I'll keep it anyway, because we really use it up, especially during gardening season. The stuff tastes just fine a couple months past the expiration date, too, if it hasn't been opened. I think the reason for the date is that the quality supposedly starts to deteriorate, not because it's "rotten". Though, I've never noticed any deterioration in quality.

I sure wish I could duplicate this recipe at home.

Update: The bottles of this dressing that I ordered from Amazon weren't anywhere close to the expiration date, and is good as always.

I used to purchase this product at our local grocery store and they stopped carrying it. I was so happy to find it online that I purchase two cases of it. It is the best vinaigrette out there.

I wash and dry the bottle. Then I open it and hold it upright over a large bowl. I gently sqeeze the bottle until as much of the oil is removed as possible. I then fill the bottle up with water. Replace caps and wash off bottle, then give it a good shake. The oil can be saved and refrigerated for when you need a little flavored oil for something else. E.g. toss with raw potatoe chunks and roast until tender. Yum.
This stuff is so good I think I could almost drink it straight from the bottle!

BEWARE! All the previous reviews about how great this product is - are all right on. One reviewer noted that his shipment had a short expiration date. We noted it but went ahead and ordered 2 cases to qualify for the free shipping. When we received them, they all had an expiration date 7 months from receipt. 12 bottles of 16oz Red Wine - gulp! They will probably be OK some past that date but you should know about the expiration date. I called Kraft and found that they 'fresh' date Red Wine ** 8 months ** from the bottling date; so if you can't use what you're ordering in that time - take care.

I recieved this dressing in a gift box at Christmas many years ago and didnt even know who I had gotten it from. I am not one to usually try new things, so it sat in my pantry for a really long time. When I finally tried it, I loved it. It was not being sold in our area though. So, by calling Kraft, I was able to find out the closest it was available was in Colorado. I live in Washington. The next summer we went to visit family and I found it in a Walmart in Colorado, and bought them out. Since then, a year ago I seen it once here in a discount grocery store who sells expired goods. I again bought them out. Now I have been out for a couple months. I called kraft to find it. They were terribly rude. I called back 4 times. I do not understand why they can not sell their product over the phone or tell me a city where it is being sold. I have friends and family all over the US and was sure I would have someone close to get it. They did tell me it is being sold in only 4% of the USA now. They recommended that I ask my local grocery stores to carry it, which I have done at 3 (Safeway, Walmart, and a local) and they are not able to order from kraft either. If I didn't love this dressing so much, I would have boycotted Kraft for not making the product available. I am so happy to find it online.

We can't buy this anywhere near home. Our last resort, try the internet, and thankfully we found it. It's the best tasting dressing we have. We love it

I grew up on seaven seas red wine vinaigrette and can no longer find it in grocery stores. Imagine my dissapointment when the sent me Kraft lite vinaigrette instead. I could just picture the stock person filling the order..."oh, we are out of this, i will just substitute this one instead" NO WAY. nothing beats the original. When I contacted Amazon about the problem, they did say keep the dressing and they credited my account. I will probably just donated the unopened ones and order the orginal again. hopefully I will get what I order.

I have been a fan of this salad dressing even before Kraft bought it from Seven Seas 2 something decades ago. I am crazy addicted it. Unfortunately, when I moved from east coast to west coast I found that Kraft seven seas red wine vinaigrette isn't sold anywhere in California. So, I have to order cases of this stuff. I go through one bottle/month for 1 adult.

The bright red color has always somewhat perturbed me when I think about how they got that color, but it has also always drawn me in. I have tried dozens of other red wine vinaigrettes and even tried to recreate the recipe myself from scratch and nothing comes close to this version. I eat a salad with it almost everyday. I highly recommend this salad dressing.

I have used this dressing for a long while, and then was unable to purchase it at any stores in my area. Then found it at a Grocery store in SC where my son lives, and had him ship me some, so now I get it from Amazon. This is the only dressing I use for my salad and I just love it. My husband did not like salads until I had him try this dressing, and now he's hooked on it. I hope Kraft never quits making the Red Wine Vinaigrette and Amazon never quits supplying it.

Kraft's Red Wine Vinaigrette Dressing and Marinade is a long time favorite. I use it all of the time.

However, this product has become increasingly difficult to find. I've recently read internet comments that state that Kraft is discontinuing it. I hope that this is not true.
