Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 > Is red cooking wine legal?Probably not, because most of them have additives. At very least they contain a lot of salt (and questionable-source salt), but many others have additional ingredients as well."Cooking wine" is just low-quality wine that can't be sold as being good enough to drink, so they find another use for it so it's not a total financial loss.If you like to use wine in cooking, as I do frequently, just buy an affordable dry red wine or even an extra dry sherry. It'll make your food taste much better. :-) A common rule of thumb re: cooking with alcohol: "Never put anything in your food that you wouldn't want to/couldn't drink." n-- Now available.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 At 10:12 AM 12/30/2009, you wrote: Is red cooking wine legal? Depends on the wine. Generally, the stuff that is labeled as " cooking wine " is a poor quality wine with lots of salt and other stuff added. Pick a good dry drinking wine and use some of that. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hi , I think that "cooking wine" has some additives, so I'm not sure that I would use it personally. But a nice dry red drinking wine, as Jena mentioned, would probably be great. I used to cook with wine occasionally, and I always heard on cooking shows and in recipe books that you should never cook with a wine that you wouldn't like to drink. :-) Christy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
