Hey /ck/, when should I use white wine in cooking? I mean like, when should my "I-should-add-a-splash-of-white-wine-to-this" senses be tingling?

I like barefoot for cooking, it's decent enough that it doesn't ruin the food while being bad enough that it doesn't feel like a waste to cook with instead of drink. However moscato is as useless for cooking as it is drinking.

I dont find barefoot riesling undrinkable. I use white wine in pretty much every cooking liquid where red wine wont work.

dude, if you don't find it drinkable then you shouldn't be cooking with it

This is bullshit received wisdom. You shouldn't cook with so called "cooking wine" but it's fine to cook with cheaper table wine even if your so snooty you consider it undrinkable. Unless wine is going to be a major flavor component in your food you don't need to go overboard with the quality.

Sounds like you should stick to velveta and rotell based recipes.

Best time to drop in your splash of white wine is when you're deglazing whatever deliciousness is slowly burning to the bottom of your pan.

Any time really, though, just so long as you know that the moment you've added it you've started braising/steaming instead of whatever you were doing before. And it's good to give it some time to cook down, it's a pretty watery ingredient.

It's actually supposed to be less bitter than cheap table salt, which is an industrial byproduct repackaged for the masses.

Try white wine with starchy foods and things that would go well with chicken or limes

Personally I like to cook with the kind of white wine I'd like to drink. Fortunately I'm a fan of Rueda Verdejo and can get a decent bottle for drinking and cooking for under 3 euros. For those who live in more expensive wine countries try to find something cheap and tasty so you can use leftover wine without breaking the bank.

Sauces for fish, seafood, chicken, turkey breast, pork chops or tenderloins
Compound butters
Deglazing pans
Braising poultry or pork

I used some white wine (Sauv Blanc) to make a hazelnut - parsley compound butter for lobster on Christmas, and then just today used the last of it (along with some sliced shallots) to make a sauce for a seafood pasta. If you do add it to a compound butter, you need to mix it in a food processor or blender to incorporate it well.

I usually drink half the bottle only so I'm left with half a bottle for cooking. I am a moderate drinker who enjoys things modestly in a frugal manner. I generally drink alone because I have no friends and have not had any significant others.
