What is a good substitute for white wine in cooking?!


Question:

What is a good substitute for white wine in cooking?


Answers:
Depends on what you're cooking, but chicken stock, vinegar, lemon juice or just leaving it out all together might be options

White Grape juice or ginger ale.

yes as others have said it really does depend on what you are cooking. i have used cider in place of white wine with chicken before and that was okay.
Red wine in casseroles replaced with guinness (if beef casserole)

You could use a splash of vinegar, apple juice, lemon juice, ginger ale, chicken stock or plain water =]

Why do you want a replacement?
If its because you dont approve of alcohol,dont worry,the heat cooks that off,so you are left with the taste of wine
Dry cider can be a substitute,but anything like grape juice,ginger ale etc will upset the balance of the dish as most is going to be too sweet
You could get away with using chicken stock or water but really the wine is there for a reason

A good white vinegar!

depends what you are cooking but you could use things like vinegar, lemon or lime juice fruit juice soy sauce.

dry cider works pretty well especially with shellfish.

agree with spider on this one, white grape juice is the one, however! if you reduce it to almost nothing in the pan before you cook anything else in the same pan you wil concentrate the flavour. the reason you see chefs on the telly and in restraunts flaming food is they are getting rid of the alcohol, this produces a much richer flavour
