Does anyone know what you can substitute for wine when cooking/baking?

chicken broth for wine, but it won't have the same flavor. Keep a bottle of el-cheapo white wine in the cupboard for cooking. If you're not drinking it, it has a LOOOONG shelf life. You can get a bottle for around 3-4$. Smile

Never cook with wine you will not drink , in your case that is all wine, because of the alcohol content, so I would go with just plain grape juice, or totally skip it all together.

Depending on the recipe you can always use chicken/beef broth or apple cider.

If you sub something else and it works, can you just update and post what you used please Smile

Thanks guys, I think I will try the grape juice (the recipe calls for red wine). I wonder about the chicken broth though...I don't think that would work for white wine for desserts...chicken in dessert...ewww...LOL!!

Thanks again guys and I'll let you know how it turns out!

Here's a pretty good site for both alcoholic & non-alcoholic substitutions

I have a pork recipe that suggests substituting apple juice for the brandy, so you might try apple juice or white grape juice for any desserts.

ahhhh!! I didn't see it was a dessert. Yes, I would suppose chicken broth would be nasty. LOL If you needed white wine in a dessert recipe, white grape juice would work.
