Cooking Wine

Dec 06, 2004 24 Replies

I have seen these before but had never purchased one because an open bottle on the counter at my house doesn't usually hang around long enough to bother. If I make a cooking wine and don't get talked out of it here maybe I'll pick one up. :-)

David, I hope you don't get talked out of making a cooking wine. I always kept a bottle of a dry white wine around here for cooking with; now I just use my own dry pepper wine (or oregano wine). I don't particularly like really dry wines, so making my own suits me just fine. Darlene Wisconsin

I will probably still make the cooking wine but what I think I'll do is make 1 of gallon jalapeno wine. Then I can use two of the bottles as a cooking wine and the other left over as novelty. I can take some of the suggestions here and just add garlic cloves and whatever else to the bottles used for cooking and let it soak on display for a while. That way I get my cooking wine and something that I can age and try later and if not suitable for drinking, it can become cooking wine as well.

That seems to be my wife's version, too :)
