White Wine Salt

White wine salt is a seasoning blend that includes salt and dried white wine. The wine is typically spray-dried onto the salt crystals, creating a powder that imparts a subtle wine flavor and aroma. It is used to add complexity to savory dishes.

Manufacturers add white wine salt to provide a savory flavor with a hint of wine. It is often found in pasta dishes, sauces, marinades, and seasoned rice mixes. It can also be used as a finishing salt for roasted meats and vegetables.

White wine salt is primarily composed of salt (sodium chloride). The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting sodium intake to less than 2,300 mg per day. High sodium intake is associated with increased blood pressure in some individuals. The FDA has not set specific limits for white wine salt, but it falls under general salt regulations. No specific health concerns are linked to the small amounts of wine solids typically present.
