It really depends on the recipe!. If you're making a dessert, you can usually just omit the item!. If you want to use something that's similar, you can use apple cider, apple juice, apple sauce, etc!. Apples make the dough of the dessert moist and can really take on any flavor that you add to them without making the dish taste like apples
If they call for beer, you can always get non-alcoholic beer if you are looking for the flavor!. Otherwise, in any savory dish (not a dessert), you can use your favorite variety of stock!. If they call for Red Wine, I would use beef stock because it has a more bold flavor!. If it's white wine, I would use chicken or vegetable stock, because they are milder!.
I hope this helps!Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you are baking, the alcohol will boil out!.
For cooking, the amount of alcohol remaining isn't woth worrying over!.
There is no substitute if you have a descriminating pallate!. The alcohol actually changes the food in the cooking process!. There are artificial flavors to use for tequila!. Red wine cannot be replicated in artificial flavors!. For beer, use non alcoholic beerWww@FoodAQ@Com

A spoon of apple cider vinegar and a spoon of lemon juice tenderize wonderfully(might need more depends on wat your cooking)!.
Or a can of coke(maybe not all, depends on how much your cooking) the sugars serve as a tenderizer like wine!. You could try 7UP or Sprite NOT DIET they have to have the sugar!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Use the same ingredient that is originally what the alcohol was made from!. For example,
Wine = Grape Juice
Rum = Molasses
Kahlua = Coffee
etc!.
