What it is
Sweet cooking wine is a type of wine that has been fortified with salt or sugar to prevent it from fermenting further. It is typically made from grapes and has a higher alcohol content than regular wine. It is primarily used for cooking purposes.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add sweet cooking wine to foods to impart a distinct flavor and sweetness. It is often found in marinades, sauces, and glazes, particularly in Asian and Western cuisines. Its alcohol content also helps to tenderize meats and carry other flavors.
Health notes
Sweet cooking wine is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The alcohol content is significantly reduced during the cooking process. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated wine and its components, but specific evaluations of sweet cooking wine for setting intake limits are not widely publicized. At typical consumption levels as a food ingredient, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Sweet cooking wine is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten as it is typically made from grapes.
