Do you use Holland House cooking wine?!


Question: My recipe calls for white wine, i know that the rule is "use wine that you would drink"- BUT I dont think wine.

Is Holland House cooking wine a good quality wine?
Or is there a certain brand that I should look for?

I Love to cook, so i want the best tasting/cooking wine!

Thanks!

anything labeled cooking wine is not suitable. Look for a cheap drinking wine.
Australia and Chile make drinkable cheap wines.

Your cooking wine is more likely to taste like vinegar than wine and you would be stuck trying to repair your recipe.

You can also freeze the leftover wine for later use. I freeze it in ice trays, pop it out when frozen and store it in a plastic baggie. Makes for a very good portion size too.

No

I use it in a pinch (liquor stores closed on Sundays in Minnesota). They're OK, but I prefer real wines.
Marsala, dry whites like Vourveray or dry red burgundys.

No one should use "cooking wine" except in emergency. Use wine that you would drink. What is labeled as "cooking wine" is quite low quality and probably more expensive than some wines you would drink.

.

its not the quality of the wine thats the promblem. for a wine in the USA to be sold as cooking wine it has have enofe added salt to make it undrinkable as a table wine. the extra salt really messes up the flavor of the finished dish.
