What it is

Burgundy cooking wine is a type of fortified wine, typically made with red wine, grape must, and a spirit like brandy. It is specifically formulated for cooking, often with added salt and sometimes flavorings, to enhance the taste of dishes. Unlike drinking wine, it is not intended for direct consumption as a beverage.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Burgundy cooking wine primarily as a flavoring agent to add depth, richness, and a subtle fruity or savory note to foods. It is commonly found in savory dishes such as soups, stews, sauces, marinades, and braised meats, where its concentrated flavor can be beneficial.

Health notes

Burgundy cooking wine is not a regulated food additive in the US. The alcohol content is significantly reduced during the cooking process. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated wine and alcohol, but not specifically 'cooking wine' as a distinct ingredient. Concerns about alcohol consumption are generally related to regular beverage intake.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Wine is derived from grapes, which are not among the nine major allergens. Gluten is not typically present.
