Cooking Wine


Many folks like to cook with wine as it adds flavour and complexity to a dish making the taste more interesting. A word of advice though! Avoid buying those items in supermarkets labeled “cooking wine”. I don’t think they’re even made from grapes and possibly possess lots of chemicals to preserve them. Always use the real thing. It doesn’t have to be great quality or expensive. A simple, inexpensive wine will do. Just make sure it’s healthy. A major rule of thumb for cooking wine should be if you don’t like the wine, it’s dirty or defective straight up, please do not use it in cooking. Nothing will ruin the dish faster. I’ve seen many a great dish spoiled by adding wine that was horrible, tasted lousy or was “off”.
