White Wine Substitute in Recipes

[jrstephens]

I jsut tried a recipe with white wine. What can you substitute for it? I did not like the taste of white wine.

I cook with wine. Beer, too.Sometimes, I even put it in the food.I use vermouth when a recipe calls for white wine. Most whites seem to have more sugar in them than I like, vermouth is drier. Not to mention, I have leftovers to make a martini.IMHO.

chicken or veggie broth works well.

Then again, maybe another type of wine. If you are using a chardonnay, maybe try a riesling. More sweetness, less "sharpness". And never,never use a wine that you wouldn't drink. Except,of course, if you aren't a drinker than that doesn't apply.

I do not like white wine at all. The only wine I will drink is strawberry I bought a bottle that said it was good with seafood.

Hey Kitchen Guy... if you are interested, I have a recipe for Stout Ice Cream. Very good, esp with a whiskey chocolate sauce! I would be happy to dig out the recipe. Have to do it anyway, St Patrick's Day is coming and there's always tons of Guinness (is that spelled right?) around. I like things to have multi-uses!

That's probably what happened. I would venture to say that they sold you a Chardonnay, or maybe a Sauvignon Blanc. Either way, if you are up for it, try a Riesling next time. In fact, you might even like it yourself.

It's Beringer Pinot Girgio ot something like that. You can tell I have NO clue about wines.

They're just fine to put into the cook. Back in my drinking days, let me rephrase that, back when I could drink more than I can now, I liked the white wines from southwestern Michigan, especially Tabor Hill. (A side effect of my treatment was the inability to tolerate the acids that are present in white wines, so I can't drink them anymore.)Tabor Hill Winery.

You could use apple juice.

A low sodium, low fat chicken broth is the best substitue b/c it, like wine, enhances the flavors of the other foods. A regular chicken broth will add too much of a salty flavor to your food and give it a stock/soup like taste. The low-fat, low sodium only adds mild flavor but brings out the other ingredients flavor. I found this out watching a Food Network show a couple of years ago and it works very well in place of a Chardonnay. It is the ONLY low-sodium, low-fat item I cook with at my house.

Jennifer,

Even though I like wine (red, pink, yellow, white, purple, old, new, cold, warm, in the glass, from the bottle, and in desperate times...from the box) I am not a big fan of cooking with it. So I like to use white grape juice (either from concentrate or bottle) and for a twist I use white grape peach juice. If you want an authentic taste, use the cooking wine that is NA. Does not have that bitter alcohol taste to it. do I have my money maker star yet???

Thanks! I love white grape juice. And it was the bitter taste I did not like.

Sorry, no money maker start yet! I think it is 750 for it!

Carol-
Could you email me that recipe? Friends of ours have a big St. Pat's party every year. I try to take them something unique (last year I crocheted them shamrock coasters) as a gift. Stout ice cream would be great!

One year I made a Bailey's cheesecake. Delish! I'll have to find that recipe and post it here.
