What it is
Seasoned wine is wine that has been flavored with herbs, spices, fruits, or other natural flavorings. It is often used in cooking to add depth and complexity to dishes.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add seasoned wine to foods to enhance flavor, particularly in savory dishes like sauces, marinades, stews, and frozen entrees. Its complex taste profile can also act as a tenderizer for meats.
Health notes
Seasoned wine is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring agent. The alcohol content is typically significantly reduced during the cooking process. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated wine and its components, but specific evaluations for 'seasoned wine' as a distinct ingredient are not widely published. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption in food.
Allergen info
Seasoned wine is not a major allergen. However, if wine is made from grapes, it is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Gluten is not typically present.
