White Cooking Wine go bad?!
I have a bottle and it says to sell by September 13, 08!. But no expiration date on it!.!.!. Any advice!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
It's fine!. "Sell by" is not "Use by!."
Keep it in the fridge!. If you open it, use it fairly soon, though!.
Why use "cooking wine" anyway, though!? It's lousy wine, that one wouldn't drink, that they overcharge for!.!.!.!.
Next time you need white wine for cooking, just use "drinking" white wine!.
Drink what you don't use in your recipe!Www@FoodAQ@Com

*Unopened: 3 years from vintage date; 20 to 100 years for fine wines
*Opened: 1 week refrigerated and corked
*Once opened, wine begins to oxidize rapidly; red wine may last a day or so longer than white, but neither will be very palatable after two or three days!. This process of oxidation doesn't make wine toxic, but it will taste unpleasant (have you ever tried drinking vinegar!?)!. However, putting the cork back into an opened bottle of wine and putting it back in the fridge will keep it from over-maturing for about a week!. There are also commercial products that can extend the life of previously-opened wines; aerosol cans with an inert, heavier-than-air gas that can form a layer between air and wine, minimizing oxidation!.
*A good wine will begin to lose quality within an hour of being uncorked!. Recorking the wine will keep it for a few hours at most!. Using a vacuum cork to evacuate the air from the bottle will keep the wine for 1-2 days!. Inert gas & recorking will keep it for 2-3 days!. Do not expect a fine wine to ever be as good as when the cork is first removedWww@FoodAQ@Com

My recommendation: don't cook with a wine you wouldn't drink!. Cooking wine sucks, Rain Man!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
