What can i use instead of wine

Jayar

What about non alcoholic wine? But, as Necko says, all the alcohol content of wine is cooked out when you use it that way.

It's expensive, Jayar! If we can't drink it, I won't pour it into the sauce either.

i know you must all think i am mad why would i want to replace wine in a recipe but truth is i dont like wine :eek: i dont drink it and i really do not want it in my food.

Problem is i just bought a new cook book the James Martin one with 300 yummy recipes but so many of them have wine in them what can i replace it with??

please help as i really liked a lot of the recipes in this book which is a 1st for me so want to use them but cant do that with the wine.

he uses both red and white wines.

It all depends A slug of red wine in a pasta sauce can just be omitted, but you can't make coq au vin without it

It might help if you indicate which recipes you need to substitute, but options may be apple juice, water, milk, grape juice, orange juice or nothing.

i know exactly what you mean, i love to drink red wine but cannot abide the taste of alcohol in savoury food! i cant stand wine in sauces, steak & ale pies etc etc.
i find it virtually impossible with italian or french food especially!
i normally just use extra stock or if you need a different flavour apple juice often works ok.

i will watch this thread with interest!

The thing is when you cook with wine, you would bring to the boil and simmer and I think that this "cooks" out the alcohol in the wine so you aren't left with that taste.

I'm obviously strange.... I don't drink alcohol - don't like the taste of anything but love the taste of food cooked in it!!!

thanks i had a look on there and it says for both red and white wine i can substitute it with vegetable stock which i have in abundance so i think i will try out a few recipes with that and see how it goes if not it also says apple juice as a few of you have also said but i am not keen on apple juice either lol.

thanks for all your help

Does anyone know if there is anything I can use in cooking instead of white or red wine as some recipes suggest?
A meal can work out quite expensive when I have to buy wine just so that I can add a glassfull.
