The white wine typically used for cooking comes in a box the name of it is Chablis. Improvement. You will sometimes find "cooking wine" sold in the grocery store...usually in the spice aisle. Do not buy this wine. It is heavily salted and not a good wine to cook with. You should purchase wine for cooking in the section of the store where liquor is sold. I wouldn't suggest buying an really expensive wine...go for a wine of average price.

∙ 15y agoCooking wine is generally low quality wine with added salt. It is not subject to age limitations in the US, as it isn't really drinkable. Red dry wine does not have added salt and is usually of a higher quality than wine labeled as "cooking wine."

The mechanics of the wine used is to blend the flavors of what ever you are cooking. (IE; seafood, beef, chicken.) White is usually used for the lighter meats, white sauces and veggies, the dark or "reds" are used for meats and dark sauces.
It does, in the end, depend on what you like. Experimentation is the best creator! You may find that some lighter reds are great with say, Tuna or sword fish. It all depends on what your taste buds are looking for!

∙ 11y agoCooking wine usually has salt added, and possibly other flavorings as well. It's not meant for drinking on its own. Some chefs opt not to use it, because they don't like to cook with wine they wouldn't drink.

∙ 10y agoYes! Wine vinegar and wine are produced differently and tast distinctly different! Wine vinegars are produced via fermenting the wine by acetic acid bacteria, converting the ethanol in wine to acetic acid. This turns the wine into a vinegar, giving it a much sharper taste and making it non-alcoholic.
Wine has a much more subtle tast, making the flavor better for things like sauces.

∙ 14y agoTrue cooking white wine has salt added so that it can not be drank and can then be sold as a food item thereby avoiding the alcohol tax. I cook with regular wine and then add salt to taste.

What is the difference between white cooking wine and sauterne cooking wine?
White cooking wine is supposed to taste like a dry white wine, while a sauterne cooking wine will be much sweeter. Sauterne wines are dessert wines, so are very sweet; but add nice flavor to sauces for meats such as pork or chicken. I prefer to use real wine, not "cooking wine", and the commercial made cooking wines are full of preservatives and are usually sweeter than the real thing. Just remember to use a good wine, one you would drink, because when you cook with it, it will reduce and concentrate in flavor. If you start with a bad tasting wine, you'll just end up with a concentrated bad tasting wine.
