Posted by Noncook, Dani in response to a question about cooking wine from Noncook, Katiegirl:
I would NEVER cook with a wine that I couldn't drink with the meal itself!
Also, I don't like cooking wines, simply because they tend to be saltier than regular wines, and don't have a very good flavor. Also, if you use a cooking wine and forget to adjust the salt in the recipe you're making, you can end up with something totally inedible! I suggest sticking with the non expensive wines to both cook with and drink!
I took the cooking wine I bought out of my panty and I decided I'm going to try and return it to the store (I've been grocery shopping there for 20 years). Hopefully they take it back. It has not been opened. I also have a burgundy and a chablis wine on my shopping list this week. I'm so happy I asked instead of making a fiasco out of a meal!
