Cooking With Wine

When food and wine are mentioned together, it is usually to ask what wine will go best with dinner but wine can also be an essential ingredient in the cooking process too.

The most important rule in cooking with wine is to only use a wine that you would drink. If you wouldn’t like to drink it, you’re probably not going to want to taste it in your dinner. Wine has three main uses in the kitchen. It can be used as a marinade to prepare for a dish, as a cooking liquid used to make sauces and as a flavouring. The idea is that using wine will enhance the flavour and aroma of a dish and not mask it or over power it.

For best results, don’t add the wine too late to the dish. The wine should be allowed to simmer with the food to enhance the flavour of the dish and allow the alcohol in the wine to evaporate.
