Wine can be used in several
different ways in cooking. Wine can be the main ingredient , as in Sangria,
or Mulled Wine, or it can be used as a marinade for meats and vegetables,
or it can be used to add flavor to a dish.
Some things need to be kept
in mind when choosing a wine to use for cooking. You don't want to use
any wine that you wouldn't drink. You're using the wine in cooking for
the flavor, and when you're cooking, most of the alcohol will cook out,
intensifying the flavors, so you'll undoubtedly want a good quality
wine. On the other hand, you want a fairly inexpensive wine for cooking,
most people certainly would not want to spend $100 on a bottle of wine
that is only going to be used for cooking.
