Use What You Like

While you can cook with all types of wine, regardless of the price or brand, using a variety that you typically like to drink makes sense.

If you do a little homework, you’ll soon discover that splashing wine into your food during the last few minutes of cooking may cause it to taste harsh and distasteful. Rather, wine should simmer with sauce or food. While it cooks, the alcohol evaporates and the wine reduces. As a result, this intensifies the flavor. Consequently, be careful not to overpower your dish by using too much.
