    If you use 2 pots, you can reduce the beef or veal stock down towards demi glace whilst doing the wine reduction at the same time. Then combine the two when the wine is almost all gone, and add tomatoes at the same time.This will save about 30 minutes of wait time . And yes, this is delicious with any meatloaf recipe, and with baked meatballs as well !
