Cooking wine is vile stuff that's sold as a grocery and while it's already unpalatable, the addition of salt makes it unpotable.
In my state wine is a grocery anyway, so there's no need to sink to those depths. |

Try verjuice or balsamic vinegar if you're after a more acidic effect, or grape juice if a sweeter effect, or stock if you're just after a deeper flavour. Ginger ale is great in some oniony recipes where you might add beer, or in chilli type recipes.

I would not have thought of grape juice. Yes I have balsamic vinegar.

When I cook with wine I use a wine that tastes good to me. If I do not like the taste of a wine I am drinking, why would I enjoy it cooked into my food?

Last week we cooked Spaghetti al Vino Bianco. The spaghetti is cooked in water for 4 minutes and then finished off risotto style with white wine. The flavor of the wine really shines in this recipe and has to taste good.

Hard to add wine on a barbie
Cooking wine in the UK runs the full range from bad wine to bad sherry, easier to just use wine you drink so you know what the taste will be. BTW Whats wrong with Rice Wine, Sake can be drunk just fine. Last edited by MikeB1972; 06-22-2017 at 04:31 AM. Reason: type |

Clearly you're not trying hard enough!
In the cooking-ingredient context I was referring to Chinese (one being Shaoxing) rice wine, which is very different from sake. Or mirin, which is similar to sake, but still not the same (sweeter - I wouldn't drink it). And neither of them is really "wine" as such (at least, not in my dialect), not being made from grapes or similar berries. |

You don't need grapes, in the UK we make wine the way the french make food - if it can't get out of the bucket, it's fair game. Dandelion, Nettle & Elderberry are popular homebrews, a mate of mine used to make Rhubarb wine, well, Rhubarb paint stripper. |
