You can avoid staining your hands with beet juice if you wear plastic gloved while peeling and cutting the beets. Trim beet tops or leave tops on.

From the ingredients list the directions 'look' wrong. It appears that in step 1 the amount of wine should read: 1/2, and in step 2 the amount of wine should read: 1/4.
