What’s the Best Wine for Cooking Stuff?

When it comes to cooking with wine, there are many great wines you can use. What’s the best wine will depend on exactly what you are cooking. Some dishes call for specific wines, where others will call for a different wine. Take a look at the examples below to understand what I am talking about.

But don’t trust us, have a look at what Katie has to say about wine:

For example, if you are cooking Chicken Marsala, you should use Marsala wine and Sherry. If you are cooking Beef Bordelaise, you should use Red wine or Drycabernet Sauvignon wine. So, it really depends on what you are cooking. Another thing you will want to consider when cooking with wine, is what type of meal you will be using the wine with. Will you be making a sauce with wine, a desert with wine, or a meat with wine? This will help determine the best wine for cooking stuff. Here are some of the best wines for cooking stuff.

Red wine is the most used wine for cooking. Red wine is often used for meats and sauces when cooking. Under the Red wine category is the Dry Red wine and it is often used for meats as well. Red wine is the recommended wine for Beef Bordelaise too. So, many dishes call for Red wine and will make the dish so much better!

White wine is another wine that is used with a lot of dishes. White wine and Marsala wine is pretty similar, so if you are cooking something like Chicken Marsala, you will want to go with the White wine or the Marsala wine.

Red wine and White wine are the two main categories for wine most used to cook with. Under these categories, you will find wines such as Marsala, Sherry,  Drycabernet Sauvignon, and so on.

Keep in mind when choosing a wine to cook with, you should only use wines that you would actually drink. If a recipe calls for a wine you wouldn’t dare drink, don’t use it. That is a rule of thumb to always go by. Cooking wines are the worse and should never be used. Instead, substitute it for wines that you would drink.
