Since the cooking wine will be used for cooking and ethanol evaporates at 172F *AND* a stew is being made which will reach a boil the alcohol will evaporate out of the cooking wine leaving behind the flavor of the cooking wine without the alcohol!.
Cooking wine starts its life as regular wine, however the cooking wine companies buy the cheap wines that wineries have produced too much of!. To turn this drinking wine into cooking wine they add salt, making it undrinkable!. It still has the alcohol, probably 13% alcohol by volume!.
Theoretically, all the alcohol will cook out of the stew however there is still a small chance there could be some leftoverWww@FoodAQ@Com

Cooking with wine doesn't technically doesn't constitute the same as drinking it!. During the cooking process, most all (about 99%) of the alcohol in the wine will have been "cooked off"!. If you still remain, deeply concerned about it, perhaps your mom can scoop a generous portion out from the main pot BEFORE she adds the cooking wine and then finish cooking your portion in a separate smaller pot!. In fact, you could always just take over cooking the rest of it!. I always encourage people with "specific dietary needs" to take care of themselves (to the best of their ability)!.
When you leave the meal preparation in the hands of someone else, that's usually when mistakes/misunderstandings are made!. People view things very differently!. I have several vegetarian friends!. Some people (non-vegetarians) don't think that it's a big deal to use chicken or beef broth in vegetarian entrees!.!.!.but to the vegetarian it is!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Cooking wine is "bad" if you just drink it!. Cooking with it removes the alcohol, and just leaves the taste!. If a person is an alcoholic, the taste is enough to trigger a response to make them drink!.
If no one is addicted to alcohol in your family, it's not going to make anyone drunk!. It's okay!. Next time, if you are really that concerned, ask mom to spoon out a bowl for you before she adds the cooking alcohol!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, but it is the most horrible concoction ever produced!.
It's undrinkable wine with added salts!.
Either go with real drinking wine( the alcohol will evaporate so you can keep to your beliefs) leaving a subtle taste of the fruit!. Otherwise don't use any wine at all!.
( But of course the recipe will not turn out right)!.
So, yes you can have it, but no , do not use cooking wine!.
Use a nice drinkable, inexpensive wine instead!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Cooking wine is not considered alcohol because all the alcohol burns off during the cooking, just watch as your mom adds it!.!.!.the alcohol burning off will make your eyes water!. also my ex was in A!.A!. and he could eat food that was cooked w/ alcohol because of the burning off left no alcohol content!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
If you drink it straight, then yes, there's alcohol in it!. I wouldn't recommend drinking it!. When you cook with it, the alcoholic content is removed, so you're safe to eat the beef stew!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
cooking wine is intended to assist with flavor and consistency (liquid); most of the alcohol content burns off!. I would not suggest drinking it, period!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
