What it is

White cooking wine is wine that has been specifically made for use in cooking. It is typically made from white wine grapes and undergoes a fermentation process similar to regular wine, but often has a higher salt content and may contain other additives to preserve it and enhance its flavor for cooking purposes.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add white cooking wine to foods to impart a distinct flavor and aroma, and to help tenderize meats. It is commonly found in savory dishes such as sauces, marinades, soups, stews, and pasta dishes.

Health notes

White cooking wine is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended use as a food ingredient. The alcohol content is significantly reduced during the cooking process, leaving primarily flavor compounds. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated wine and its components, but specific evaluations for 'white cooking wine' as a distinct ingredient may vary.

Allergen info

White cooking wine is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
