We've all heard not to cook with wine you wouldn't drink...so, what wine (red & white) do you cook with?
JimFromTN said:If I am buying wine strictly for cooking, its usually something like Crane Lake because its cheap and its not a bad wine. Its actually had allot of good write ups for being such an inexpensive wine. Sometimes I will buy a 1.5 ltr bottle of whatever I am planning on drinking that night and use that for cooking. You need to plan on at least 2 glasses of wine per person and a standard 750ml bottle has 4 glasses in it. As far as what flavors, I usually cook with a cabernet if I use red and maybe a sauvignon blanc if I am using white.
Whenever I buy a bottle of wine and it tastes awful. I will stick it in the frig for cooking rather than pouring it out.
You nut! I was pregnant and had the baby but now I'm nursing so I have to time it out and it's just easier to not drink. And I have to be honest - where I used to be able to drink a half to a whole bottle in one night (as long as I was at home ) if I have one glass now I feel it too much. My favorite wine is a $9 Prairie Fume from a local winery. I've never cooked with it, though.JimFromTN said:Boy, you sure have been pregnant a long time. You know they can induce now a days

I really lose it when it comes to reds, though. Merlot, Cabernet, Shiraz, etc. I don't like any of them for drinking and I get leery of reducing them into my food.
