Recipe for Alcohol-free white "wine"?
I once saw a cooking tv show where they simulated the taste of white wine using grape juice and some other stuff. Unfortunately, i cant find the recipe for it. I was hoping someone here knows how to make alcohol-free white wine, to make my cooking healthy and tasty even for kids.
Answers:
You can buy it at your local supermarket, unless you simply prefer to make it yourself.
If so, just buy a bottle of white wine that has the flavors you are looking for, pour it into a large cooking pot and simmer lightly for an hour or two. It will smell awful for a while because it will be evaporating the ethanol (alcohol) in the wine. Once that smell has gone away, you know the ethanol has evaporated out. This works because ethanol has a lower boiling temp than water so it will boil out first. Make sure you do not cook it at too high of a temp or it will cook the desired flavors of the wine.
Also remember that when you cook with wine, the alcohol cooks out. So your end result is alcohol-free.
Happy cooking!

You can buy alcohol-free wine, and it's actually pretty cheap (like around $5 /bottle). One brand that comes to mind is: Fre
The non-alcohol wines are usually located in the wine-section of the supermarkets (that sell alcohol) near the Ports, Sherrys, and Kosher wines.
