What it is

Dry white wine is a type of wine made from white grapes. It is fermented with minimal or no skin contact, resulting in a pale color. The 'dry' designation means most of the sugar from the grapes has been converted to alcohol during fermentation.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use dry white wine to add a complex, slightly acidic flavor to foods. It can also help tenderize meats and deglaze pans during cooking. It is commonly found in sauces, marinades, soups, and frozen entrees.

Health notes

Dry white wine is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a flavoring ingredient. The alcohol content is significantly reduced during cooking, but trace amounts may remain. JECFA has evaluated wine and established specifications for its composition.

Allergen info

Dry white wine is not a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
