As for the red wine substitution, yes, go right ahead. I imagine the flavor will be very nicely deeper. As for flour, your color and flavor will be very different in a way you may not like. Flour does not gelatinize the way that corn starch does. Flour will cloud your sauce, where corn starch leaves it shiny and clear. Too, flour sauces need to be cooked longer to cook out the starchy taste. Do you have a neighbor you can go to, measuring spoons in hand?
