Default Very weird question about compost

Ok, this is going to sound totally off the wall, but the question is
genuine.
I have a few bottles of really, really bad wine in the house, gifts
from the uninformed, and nasty prizes from pub quizzes.
Anyhoo. I can recycle the bottles, but I hate to just pour the wine
down the drain if there is any other use I can put it to. It is truly
too awful to cook with - take my word for it. Then, suddenly, I
thought: "what about pouring it onto the compost heap?"
Is there any reason why I shouldn't? More to the point, would it have
any benefit in terms of accelerating the composting process? Are
slightly sozzled earth worms and other creepy crawlies more efficient
breaker downers of organic material?
Enquiring minds want to know...
:-)
